I’ve owned a stoeger 3000 since I was 16 and has served me well, has had its issues but nothing to rag extensively on. In the market for a new shotgun, right now I between the SBE2 or the A400 extreme. I’m also open to other options but those two seem to be the best on the market
I’ve been shooting at least 150 rounds per month low brass skeet loads through a CZ712 since last May and haven’t had an issue. Cleaned it maybe three times...
If you are a first responder, they have great pricing, but if not, they are still very much value priced.
That said, I originally bought the CZ to replace a Beretta 300 Outlander because I wanted a 4 round magazine for my American Legion clay shoots (wanted 4+1). The Beretta was a great gun too...never had an issue with it either.
