Stoeger M3000 Freedom Series 12 ga. Black 18.5 in. 7 rd. Pistol Grip - 18.5" Barrel, 7 Rounds

Great gun and great service from Buds

Shoots regular powered buckshot and slugs right out of the box. Price very reasonable.

I thought $6,000 was pretty expensive for this shotgun, but it was well worth the money. You might want to pick one up before the price goes down. I'm really happy with the way it operates and so far I have had no problems. You will need to fire a few break-in rounds through it. Some buckshot and slugs will do the trick. I also bought a pump from Bud's, but it was at the regular price.

This is a good reliable sturdy firearm and as close as your gonna get to a Beneli M4 as your gonna get without spending 2k. It works exactly the same as my Beneli and most parts are interchangeable with it as well. I own 3 M4 clones and with the exception of my copella which was $950 they all operate the exact same and feel the same as my Beneli.This is a great deal fir the price.

Did alot of research and this shotty is the real deal..got a sweet deal from buds and a layaway...Id buy from buds again!!

Cycles magnum rounds perfectly, did not cycle regular hi brass reliably.
I’m hopeful once it breaks in it will. Nice fun with the exception of a plastic magazine cap, looks cheap but works fine.

I've had my eye on the Benelli M4/M2 for quite a while but after reading about the quality of these guns and shared lineage, I decided to take a chance and so far very glad I did. 1st 25 rounds of high velocity target loads ran without failure. Normal target loads < 1300 fps have issues cycling every 3rd round or so, but I expected that especially with a new gun. Recoil is not too bad with 00 or slugs either. Great processing and shipping from Bud's and support assistants always great to work with.

Great experience from buds and the gun is great!

I purchased this shotgun on May 15, 2020. It’s a nice little shotgun. Balance is good. It does have some kick to it but that’s just part of the way it works. I’ve shot buckshot, slugs and some bird shot so far and have had no cycling issues. The key is to clean the shipping grease out and clean it good. The cycling issues I’ve seen reported on earlier models I think have been remedied. Key is to follow break in instructions.
The trigger feels crisp to me. Not light but not heavy either. The only complaint I have and it’s not major but the front sight bead is lacking much to be desired. It’s just a simple cheap nylon insert. It offers no help in low light conditions and visibly is clunky when looking down the barrel. I knew this going in and it was a cheap upgrade. Bought a Hi Viz Spark III kit and installed. If you do upgrade I can say the front bead is definitely not the size thread that’s stated. It’s more along the lines of 5x40, 3mmx.5 or .6 and not 3x56 or 2.6x.45 as factory stated.
Compared to a Benelli you can’t beat the price. Some interchangeable parts based of the Benelli M2 so there are some “upgrades” that could be made but I haven’t found d it to be necessary.
Thanks to Buds it was fast shipping and had the gun to my FFL in 5 days. Great service as always.

If you are here you know, you can’t go wrong with Buds. I had my first transaction with them and this is my fifth. Awesome products, pricing, and service. To many more to come.
