Don't let the $500 price tag fool you, the Stoeger 2000 is one heck of a shotgun for that price. With one small difference, it's the same Inertia system used in the (very expensive) Benelli's. The quality is very good and the reliability had been perfect. I love mine and wouldn't part with it. It's the best semi-auto shotgun you can get for under $1K.
