Not sure where to start in my younger days loved hunting and shooting all the time but stoped in my early 20’s.
Now thirty years later getting back into it.
Bought a browning BPS a couple years ago and love it, now I’m looking to add a new pump.
Multi purpose of course home defense and bird.
I’ve been looking at the stoeger M3000 for the multi purpose and the M3500 just for birds.
They both seem to be quality built yet I would like feedback from anyone who may have or had one in the past.
Any info would be much appreciated.

shot sporting clays with the 3k, love the enertia side of it, slight recoil, excellent for me on target, its the only other shotgun i used at sporting clays other than my over and unders
stoeger makes decent units, and have friends who own one or more, and have heard no negative other than they can't hit crap anyway, lol. just kidding
are the more expensive and better units, probably, but once i find something that works for me, i'm satisified till the next really have to have new shiney comes along
best of luck with shooting.

My hunting buddy purchased a stoeger M2000 when they first came out, he hunted the crap out of it, I since purchased it and use it as a loaner gun that weapon has never failed in the field with any load,

Thanks for that information makes my decision much easier. As knockonit said I like shines new things. My wife said your getting close to retirement find a good hobby. Next venture reloading .

she will soon say she has created a monster, so to speak, like shooters reloading is an addiction, imo

I got an M3000 here but haven't shot it yet. Seems fairly slick like a Winchester 1300

Stoeger is a wholly owned subsidiary of Benelli, which in turn is owned by Italian firearms manufacturer Beretta. Pretty good lineage there
