redhooks Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Looking at buying a semiauto shotgun. I'd to get a benelli but can't afford one so I'm looking at a stoeger 3000 or 3500. Anyone have any experience with them? Thanks for any insight, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tator2k Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I used the 3000 for 4 years now without issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surewood Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I have the 3500. Used it for duck/geese, grouse, and trap. Not one jam or other issues. Break it in with a box or two of magnums. Then it handles light loads to the biggest mags. I get it wet, muddy, you name it. It's not a benelli, but best gun for the money I bought.

surewood Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 My fiance has the 2000. Two turkeys, grouse, duck/geese, and trap under her belt. Zero jams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartmanMN Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I have heard very good things about the 3500. From what people were saying it was the best bang for the buck out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borch Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I've been using the Stoeger 2000 for several years now and it's been a solid shotgun. I've used it for waterfowl, pheasant, grouse and turkeys. It is no my designated turkey gun and has smacked down 10 turkeys so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is no my designated turkey gun and has smacked down 10 turkeys so far. I also love my 2000 and would carry this gun for grouse or pheasants over any other gun I have. I use it as a second when duck hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
