  1. It needs to be stripped and cleaned before use. Run about 3-4 boxes of heavy loads through it and clean again. Should be good to go after that. My buddy just got a M2 American and he found some 3 inch turkey loads on sale for like 5 bucks and box. He has been able to run 1oz loads since.

  2. If you are having someone fit the gun for you, I would start there. Have will improve your score by a bunch.

     

     

     

    Extended choke may or may not help patterning. I have extended chokes because there easier to take out and change. Either way, new chokes will not help you at this time. When you start breaking 49 of 50, then change your chokes.

  3. I've had a one point, a nova 20,nova and a super nova 12. I've sold all but my nova 12 gauge. Im not into the comfortech (I don't think it's worth the money. My nova hits everything I shoot at.

     

     

     

    As after as the 870, I'm not a fan for whatever reason. But if you a big game hunter and will be looking for a slug barrel, the 870 barrels will be more available and cheaper to get.

  4. If your not in competition, I would shoot the cheaper shell. 4-5 clays is a big difference, but I would learn to swing your gun a little faster to pickup the extra birds. Maybe setup one day on just passing birds. That's what I did on the skeet field. Shot 100 rounds in a row at each station over 8 weeks. Went from shooting 15 to average 23.2

  5. Not even a similar gun. One is gas operated and one is inertia driven, although the M2000 has an inertia spring in the bolt, the action is driven directly by burning gases from the shell. Two completely different beasts that shouldn't

    even be in the same conversation if you ask me!

     

    Both are inertia guns. Unless they changed something I don't know about. All inertia guns are driven by the shells gases. The recoil of the shell going off is what drives the bolt back.

     

    Other than refinements,where its built, and a few other things I'm not a where of, the m2 and 2000 are pretty close.

  6. What Tim said. My cousin has an older Monty with a 18 1/2 field barrel.(don't know where he got it but it looks stock) The OAL is 27 inches and the gun weights about 6 pounds. He uses 3inch hevi-#5's with a Indian Creek choke and smashes a bird evey year.
