Was browsing the racks yesterday and came across the Stoeger 2000 12ga with 26"bbl and 3" chamber in matte black for $389, and I like the way the gun fit and pointed, and it's pretty lightweight for a semi-auto. Supposedly it uses the same inertia system as the Benelli Super Black Eagle, but cost less than 1/3 the price. I've always been a pump shotgun guy, but I wouldn't mind having a reliable semi-auto. It would be my all-purpose field gun (turkey, waterfowl, upland and small game) and would only be shot with full-power 2 3/4 field loads and 3" turkey and waterfowl loads (no light target loads), so hopefully cycling shouldn't be a problem. $389 is an attractive price, but I also don't want to buy junk. Anyone have any experience with this shotgun, plus or minus?
Thanks,
Mike
