I've got the stoeger 3500 and I love it! Just put 100 rounds through it Saturday at the skeet range. And it didnt miss a beat. Some of the real cheep low recoil rounds don't cycle as good but, I absolutely love mine. It tends to be a little on the heavy side, but to me it helps with recoil. I'd say I've got close to 600 rounds through it and I've yet to have a major problem. The only slight problem I've had is the action handle has come out maybe 2 times when shooting 3-1/2" shells. But those times the handle had excess oil on it from where I had cleaned it. I use it for both duck and turkey hunting.
