Hi guys, I ended up buying one.
Price was $475 which was good in my area considering it's $499 on buds guns.
I shot it for the first time yesterday and it worked perfectly. I shot a round of trap without missing until I got to 20 then started to get a bit cocky thinking I was going to hit 25 straight. I didn't shoot a perfect score but there's always next time!
I bought the gun shortly after posting this topic and when I brought it home I realized the trigger was super heavy, 15 lbs!
I didn't think to pull the trigger in the store but lesson learned! Stoeger/Benelli sent me a shipping label and it took about 4 weeks before I got it back. They replaced the trigger group and it's at 6 lbs which feels ok to me. This is my second time testing Stoeger customer service and I'm happy to say they came thru.
The gun is super light weight, 5.5 lbs. I love that about it, and it's the one of the reasons I chose it.
I adjusted the stock using the max cast off shim that came with it and it's an OK fit, but I wish it had more drop. When shooting it punches me in the cheek a little. I plan to call Stoeger tomorrow to see if they have shims for more adjustment. If not I'll probably try to modify another shim to get the drop that I need.
I like the gun and feel it was a good purchase.
Thanks,
