I had one a few months ago. Bought it at Dick's for $399.00 in camo. There are a lot of reviews on Shotgun World's forum about this critter. Basically, they kick more than I have ever been kicked, more like a mule. They cycle pretty good with high base shells but get indigestion with cheap loads, or low base shells. I figured that by the time I added a recoil system to it, I could buy a gas operated gun for the same money. It is a Benelli clone, but believe me, it ain't no Benelli. I traded it to some unfortunate and went on to something else. I suggest that you try a Beretta 390 from Walmart for less than $500.00. It is gas operated and you won't be ashamed of it. Turkish guns like the 2000 don't carry the pride of ownership that a Beretta does. A 2000 is not a fun gun.
