Customer Reviews for Stoeger M3000 Black Synthetic 24" 12 Gauge Shotgun

Combat shotgun alternative! Add a tube extension and get more rounds and make it a "poor mans" Benelli CS. (See Nutnfancy vid)

Great gun for the price. Very reliable and proven action. Shot 50 rounds at skeet and performed flawlessly.

Excellent purchase, great gun. Bud's is always an easy transaction. I have not had an opportunity to range test the shotgun, but it is perfect , no issues.

Nice shotgun, feels a lot like my old Remington but with synthetic stocks. Love getting a set of choke tubes with it.

Seems to be a pretty good shotgun for the money so far. Handles nicely, fit and finish is decent enough for the price. Have put 150 rounds through it at the range and had one FTE about halfway through, likely just a weak shell since no hiccups after that one. Buttpad is okay, if you're going to do a lot of shooting at one time a slip-on recoil pad would probably help. Overall at this point satisfied with it as a under $500 semi-auto shotgun, which with the 24" barrel seems a bit of a compromise between being a defensive gun, a hunting gun, shooting trap or clays, or for 3-gun use. It's probably not going to be the best at any of these but it's enough to use successfully for any of those activities.

It's a great shotgun, all in all. A semi auto using an intertial system (same as the Benelli M2), this thing eats even light loaded birdshot (Winchester Extra-lite target load). It has a wonderful aftermarket, meaning if the stock 4+1 capacity bothers you, you can run to moaprecision and get an extendo-tube and make it whatever you want. I plan on using it for 3 gun, which means I've got a ton of extras to make it more competitive. Though, as a stock shotgun, it does what it does well. Handles a good selection of ammo, is easy to take down, easy to modify, and will serve you well.
