I had to deal with their customer service ona Stoeger 2000. I thought I had a problem but didn't. I found them to be extremely helpful and they even offered to replace the gun if it was deemed faulty.

The problem was in the patterning. It turned out to be me.

Hows the recoil on the stoeger. Ive seen tom knapp complete his world record on the site, and i believed he had the comfertech system on his M2, looked like it was a piece of cake gettin off all of those shots within seconds. Actaully looked very fun and very comfortable.

I've been Duck Hunting with my new Stoeger 2000 4 times this season. I also hunted 3 times for Dove during the 15 day first half here in California.

I'm only 175 pounds and 5'8" tall.
The shotgun weighs in at 6 1/2 pounds.
Mine is Advantage Max4d camo - 26" barrel. I'm using the Improved Cylinder choke tube.
The recoil is not bad even with those "Black Shells". (3" Hevi-Shot)

I get three rounds off fairly quickly and I might say a darn sight faster than I could cycle my old pump gun.
Last Wednesday I fooled a pair of Redheads into my decoys. I jumped when they were 3 feet off the water with their landing gear down. They flaired and I missed my first shot on the drake. I shot again...miss. I took a third shot and SMOKED him with 3" Hevi-Shot 7 1/2's at 40 yards!

That said, I was able to recover and get three rounds off in no time.

This Stoeger swings fast and recovers quickly from a shot. The only odd thing I've noticed is that just like an M-16/AR-15, I hear the recoil spring "Twang" when it fires. I don't even notice it now that I've gotten used to it.

So farmy season.
3 hunt days for dove - 21 birds (7 BPD ave.)
4 hunt days for duck - 18 ducks, 1 goose (4.75 BPD ave.)

If you are asking if I like this Stoeger 2000 and if I would recommend it.

YES!!

For 400 bucks? HELL yes.

It's a "Benelli Light".

It's a Jack wackin', duck smokin' 'n stackin' machine.
