re: Need help choosing a shotgun

I've got the m3000. Had some issues with the extractor put of the box. Sent it back to stoeger and haven't had an issue since. I usually shoot extremely well with it, granted this past dove hunt/skeet shoot was embarrassing. But I'm blaming that on the beer.

Purely because of the one issue, I'd probably look at the a300 first as it was a pretty big pain to be without a gun for the first 3 weeks of duck season, but otherwise I don't know anyone whose had issues.
