Gentlemen of the jury.

I stand before you and speaktruth!!

I can't believe how well made the Stoeger 2000 is! The craftsmanship is simply fabulous! The machine work is every bit as good as any Browning, Benelli or Beretta I've ever seen.
Look for yourself and see.

Benelli licenses their revolutionary action system ONLY to Stoeger Industries. For all intents and purposesthe Stoeger 2000 isa Benellithat handles only 3"but doesn't have all the accessories of it's big brother.

What's ina name you ask?
The Stoeger name is what throws most people.
It isn't a name that EVERYONE knows so they won't buy it even if it's betterAND less expensive.

A Mossberg is VERY low quality when compaired to this shotgun. (Side by side and stripped down to reveal it's true identity)
Please don't believe me, seefor yourself.

The amazing thing is that the2000 can be had for less than 350 bucks.
Can you get a gas operated 935 for $350.00? (new in box)

As a matter of record,every Gas auto uses 10% of the ammunitions energy to cycle the action. That means that a load leaving the barrel at 1500fps out of a pump/Benelli would chronograph at 1350 fps out of the standard auto.
Allgas automatics get dirty and jam frequently because the barrel is actually part of the action and the ammo residue gums things up. A Benelli's barrel islike a pump gun's and can be replacedjust as easily.

Turkeys and Geese are tough to harvest and giving yourself a handicap is not awise thing. This is exactly why as a serious duck hunter, until Benelli changed the rules, I hunted with a pump.

Tom Knapp holds the worlds record with aBenelli.

The Stoeger 2000 = a 3" Benelli SBE

The ONLY down sideis the 2000 isnot chamber for 3 1/2". SO WHAT!

I rest my case.
