Stoeger M3000 Sporting Black Synthetic 12 Gauge Shotgun - Blue/Black, 30" Barrel, 4+1 Rounds, Synthetic, 3" Chamber, Black Synthetic Stock

Bud's always has the gun I'm looking for at the right price. My Stoeger M3000 arrived quickly and I was busting clays in no time. Would highly recommend the m3000. Mine has been cycling light loads right out of the box with no break in. Slap an extension tube on it and you're in for a good time.

My Stoeger M3000 Sporting 12Ga 30 Inches.came with 3chokes. 1 Ic,1 Skt #1, 1Skt #2 and 4 shims.
I cleaned very good before going to the range the first time It fails 6 shots out of 50
I cleaned again and the second time worked perfect 50 out of 50 shots.
Very good gun,and happy with it.
Ammo I use Federal #8 23/4" 1200fps 1 1/8 ounce 3dram.
I dont know why Stoeger Arms included the above chokes.
I think the more appropriate for 30 inches barrel are FULL,MOD and IMP MOD

I bought this gun for 3-bird 5 stand events. This is a very nice gun for the price tag. I would recommend it to anyone in this price range. I have about 500 rounds through it with no issues. I do make sure to clean it every 50-100 rounds. And I do shoot 1-1/8oz loads through it all the time.

As received from Bud's no problems at all. Assembled, and took to the range to break some clay targets. Only shells that I had with me was my 1oz. 3 drams reloads, not good, would not cycle these at all. Had to change guns to finish my round and I was not happy. Next time out I took the M3000 and cycled thru a couple hundred rounds of 1 1/8oz. 3 dram, no problem at all. Disassembled and cleaned, and back to my reloads, 1oz 3 dram, no problems at all. Still will not cycle a 7/8 oz 3 dram, but that's OK, because I almost always use the 1oz. reloads. Another note, the barrel seemed very end heavy to me,( 30" ) gun was out of balance. I added 10 oz of counterweight to the synthetic stock, now feels much better to me with my gun mount. Very happy with the Stoeger M3000 Sporting.
