I recently purchased a 26" model 2000 as a combo turkey and waterfowling shotgun. after a thorough stripdown and cleaning, and several hundred rounds, I am impressed. This shotgun cycles everything from 2 3/4" high brass to 3" turkey loads like a champ. Last weekend I took a large PA gobbler, and can't wait until duck season. It seems to me that any reliability issues stem from shooters who don't take the time for innitial cleaning, which is mandatory for any new firearm.
