Stoeger M3000 V. Stoeger M3500

I don't really need to shoot 3.5" shells but the M3500 has a recoil suppressor in the buttstock from what I have read. Anybody who owns either gun, is it worth the extra $100 or so?

I was about to purchase the 3500 but I've been hearing a lot of complaints about stoegers jamming

I was tempted to pick one up this weekend. Where have you read about the M3000 or the M3500 jamming? I have read a lot about the M2000 having jamming problems.

I owned a M3000 before i bought my current shotgun and regret selling it 
I'm a big turkey hunter so i wanted the 3.5" gun.
I never had any problems with my stoeger jamming, and it was probably the sweetest shooting shotgun that i've ever fired.

How was the recoil? I know Stoeger is Benelli owned and their inertia system kicks a littler harder than gas systems.

I purchased The M3500 this year. I have only shot couple boxes of shells thru it, but I have not had a problem with it cycling 3" or 3.5" shells. It will not cycle 2 3/4" at all with the recoil suppressor in the buttstock, but the manual tells you this. Next time I shoot skeet I am going to take it out and see if it makes a difference. I have really enjoyed shooting it what little I have. From the reviews I read before purchasing gun most had nothing but good things to say. It seems to me if you are wanting a semi-auto and not wanting to break the bank it is the way to go.

I have read the same thing - especially when it gets cold. Cold - I mean below freezing.
I would like to know more, but this has made me pause when purchasing the gun.

That is a little cause for concern with the M3500. I don't want to have to take the stock apart everytime I go to the range.

I didn't find it to be too bad at all. Shooting skeet it was fine, and pretty typical for 3" steel shot loads.

Sounds good. I think I will give the M3000 a serious look.

I have a 3500. I never had jamming problems until I switched to kent shells. May switch shells again after this season because it keeps on jamming the Kent's. Never happened with Winchester.
Besides that its been a good gun

I just purchased the m3500 and shoots like a cadillac. Impressed with it so far.

Have you had trouble cycling 2.75" dove/target loads like another poster said?
Posted on 1/8/13 at 12:50 pm to AngryBeavers
honestly i have only shot 3's so i dont know

Im on my phone but you should really consider holding off on a stoeger. My cousin just had one explode on him last weekend. The receiver sheared off the stock and barrel and hit him in face. Not sure what exactly caused it. I'll post the pictures when I get home this afternoon.
My brother has a M2000 that won't cycle Hi-brass and his buddy has the same gun and it won't cycle light loads. Not to mention the camo paint comes off really easily.
Unless you are just searching for a cheap gun and can't wait I wouldn't advise it.

So Beretta 3901 it is then?

I just brought the 3500 and love it. I shoot 2 3/4 #6 all of the time and haven't had any trouble. Never jammed on me.

Did you install the recoil suppressor in the buttstock?
