Stoeger M3500 reviews? *UPDATED IN OP*
Posted on 3/2/17 at 6:20 am

Went and shot it this morning and took her home with me. Fits good. Shoots good. Feels good. Got a 1yr old, well kept $600 gun for $475. Thanks for all yalls input... Now, off to shoot some skeet and practice. I haven't shot a shotgun since before Katrina, hell, actually it was likely just a year or two after my Dad passed in 1991 that I last shot one. I think I'll start off with some 2 3/4" loads first as to not abuse my shoulder.
Looking to get my first shotgun since I lost all mine in Katrina. Looking at the M3500. I've read a bunch of online reviews and it seems to be well received. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with one personally? I've held one at academy and it fits me well. How's it shoot? I've read that the inertia system is a bit different than a traditional gas system and takes a little bit to get used to.

I have one and really like it, its 4 years old now and goes boom every time I pull the trigger with no issues. I shoot 3s and 3.5s during duck season no issues and I clean it at the end of season. for a budget gun its great. its heavier then the high end shotguns but still performs. I think I paid $650 for mine.

I have a 2 year old M3000. Like whodat said it goes boom. It doesn't shoot 3.5s but I still use it for ducks, geese and deer.

I have the 3000 version and absolutely love it. I've ran a few thousand rounds through it and the only issue i've had is running Rio Target Loads. They just don't like to cycle all the time. Gotta be the shells though. I've ran a few thousand of combined winchester, remington, and federals through it with no issue. The 3 separate times i've tried the Rio's have been the only times i've ever had an issue. For the $600 it has already more than paid for it's place in the safe. Good luck and congrats on the new gun.

Never had an issue with mine. If I had one complaint, it would be that it's a little on the heavy side.

Guy in our duck blind had this gun and killed by far the most and never has had a single issue with his. Absolutely loves it and looking to get one myself this coming season. Everyone else besides he and myself have either BE2's or Maxus. Personally believe it is man behind the gun more than gun itself but my two cents.

I've had the M3000 for almost 7 years and have had no issues with it
not much to it and is a little heavier but not noticeably so

I have the M3000, only difference between that and the M3500 is that the 3000 doesn't shoot 3.5, but I love my 3000. Stoeger has come a long ways recently

Bump for update in OP

I have one in real Tree max5 and love it. My only complaint is sometimes it won't cycle some 2-3/4" target loads but I can't usually tell when I shoot them that I get a light one and it's not enough power to cycle in the next round.
