Would love a Benelli SBE II or Beretta, but the affordability of the Stoeger has my attention. Is this a reliable shotgun? For those that own one, what is the skinny? Any regrets? Thanks.

My sons buddy has one and he's had no issues with it. . Not exactly. The recoil spring is on the mag tube not in the stock like a Benelli. The Stoeger has a 3 dram minimum if you are shooting light loads. The Benelli handles 2 3/4 dram with no problem. I am speaking on the Stoeger M3000 and Benelli M2 The Things You Remember in Life aren't Things at all.
