Being all the Stoeger's are made in Turkey and how hard some countries in the middle east have been hit by the virus, it wouldn't surprise me if they're shut down or running at significantly reduced capacity.

They must be out there some place...

YUP that's going to leave a mark...
Dang! I thought the auto part of an autoloader helped with recoil...
My new Stoeger will kick your BUTT.

I don't have the steady stock yet and just have the factory stock and recoil pad, and have not put in the recoil reducer that comes with the gun. It is just a steel weight that goes into the stock.

I'm shooting the same loads I do in the 870. The reason I put a pistol grip and limb saver on the 870 was the recoil. You just can't shoot the big goose loads 3" or 3 1/2" all day long, without it.

I have not weighed the Stoeger but lifting each it does feel lighter a little. I'm not ordering a limb saver yet till I get the other stock as to get the right one. I want to see if I can make the stock a little shorter too, that may make a difference in the size of the LS pad.

I'll try the "drop" shims too I think it may give a more head up feel when shouldering the gun.

I went out and tried it with a mix of shells 3 1/2, 3, 2 3/4, and 2 1/2s.

Light lead 7/8oz to 1 5/8oz coyote loads, and 1 1/4oz steel. All but the 2 1/2- 1/2oz loads cycled and fed great, even all mix in the same loading.

I got an extended ported "crematory" Carlson .690 choke tube and was shooting that. I was shooting a hunk of 11 gauge steel.

It was just a small peace like 8"x 6" but I was hitting it multiple times, 6 or 8 pellets at a time at 50 yards, and my lead F shot coyote loads mostly went all the way through, The BBB steel put a good dimple in it but would not go through. I am happy so far. When I have the stock off I'll see if I have room for a dead mule like I made for the 8mmRM. BY the way, the Stoeger kicks WAY harder then the 8 mag did before the Mule;)

Glad you found one. Hope it works out for you.
