I like autos over pumps. less recoil, faster second shot. yes i know some people say they are just as fast with a pump, but you have less recoil with the auto and can get your next shot placed faster. IMO

From what i understand benelli was meeting with stoeger to tell them them they were going to sew (sp) them thenthen they realized they were making a really good gun using there patten. so benelli decided to buy stoeger out instead of sew(sp) them. I would not hesitate to buy a stoeger 2000
