I bought one of these the day after thanksgiving, and have had zero luck with it, especially the slug barrel. I have tried 4 different kinds ofsabbots, and it still miss fires. Its like the firing pin is not hitting the primer on the slug hard enough. I sprayedsome lubricantin the action and worked it several times,and it would workabout half the time then, but that is not acceptable to me. I called the place where I got it, and they told me there might be a recall on these slug barrels. Has anyone heard anything about this, and should I be able to take it back if I want to, and get my money back, or a store credit? Ive bought several guns before, but never had a need to take them back. After this POS costing me two 145 class deer because it would not fire, I would like to just go in a totally different direction from Stoeger, and get something else.any advice would be appreciated thanks.Great Forum by the way, best ive come across yet. Thanks

I'll be paying attention to this post because I was just about to buy a Stoeger 2000 after Christmas. I was just going to get the smooth bore barrel. How does that one work for you?

First shotgun I brought since I was a kid.
I had a similar problem with mineand sent it back to Stoeger.
As you might expect, it took a while to get it back, but I have since put 1000 rounds through it and never had another problem.
