Dude, the Stoger m2000 is an amazing all-aroung shotgun. This year i bagged a 23 pound tom from 35 yards. As soon as i shot it it dropped without a flinch. I had the full choke on that came with it and remington nitro turkey 3" loads. I have fired over a 1000 shells out of my camo synthetic m2000 and it has never gave me any problems what so ever! great gun, i would recomend it to anybody
