I sold guns for about a decade.  In that time, except for the Rossi's, I have seen more of the M-2000's come back with problems than any other gun (got out of retail before rem. made the 887).  I had one before I really got to know the model and it litterally ate itself inside of 250 rounds of standard 2.75" loads and I took VERY GOOD care of that gun.  I found we had between 10-25% of the M-2000s come back with some kind of issue.  For the kind of money you posted, you could get he M-3500, which is a MUCH BETTER gun than the M-2000, the Mossberg 930, a simply outstanding gun for the money, the Mossberg 935, which is capable of throwing some IMPRESSIVE patterns with turkey loads, or maybe even the Benelli M-2 American, which is just a more basic version of the comfort tech M-2 and with fewer factory chokes.  In short, you can do better than the M-2000...

thank you for the info  as a matter of act i purchased a moss.935WF last night black syn. 26'' barrel
for about 475 out the door brand new i shot it a few times this morning after cleaning it up and i really like it so far cant wait to get a few chokes and loads to put some shot down the barrel

I think you will like the 935 a lot. When I come across a deal on a 22" or 24" it will be mine. I would try the Indian Creek. My 835 shot the nitro and magblends through the IC very well.

A Pure Gold, Jellyhead, or Sumtoy would throw some great patterns in that gun.  I have an 835 and with a Star Dot choke and 3" Magblends I get 176 hits at 40 yards in 10".  Very happy with it.
