Stoeger Industries (Benelli/Beretta group)

The Stoeger M3000 is a semi-automatic shotgun introduced by Stoeger Industries, chambered in 12 and 20 gauge. It uses a proven inertia-operated action licensed from Benelli, which keeps the shotgun clean and reliable without gas system maintenance. The M3000 features a 28-inch barrel, a synthetic or walnut stock, and a 4-shot magazine tube. It is known for its affordable price and reliable operation with a wide range of loads. The M3000 is popular among waterfowl and upland hunters who want the reliability of an inertia gun without the Benelli price tag.
