Do you have to break in a Stoeger M3500?

Does my Stoeger shotgun need to be broken in? Only these models require a breaking-in period: M3500, M3000, M2000. Here’s how to break in these shotguns: Immediately after purchase, clean the gun and oil it thoroughly.

Is the Stoeger M3500 any good?

The M3500 is a great all-around shotgun that can be used to hunt any animal you can think of hunting using a shotgun. I’m not going to lie and act like it’s better than a Benelli Black Eagle, but it’s incredibly reliable, shoots straight, and can chamber just about anything you put in it.

Can I shoot slugs out of my Stoeger M3500?

With a smooth barrel you need rifled slugs. Sabot slugs are more accurate at long distances, but rifled slugs such as Remington’s Slugger Rifled slugs shoot fine out to at least 100 yards in a smooth bore shotgun. I suggest using the most open choke you have, likely a cylinder choke.

Can you drill and tap a Stoeger m3020?

The receiver also stays cleaner longer. Chambered in 12 gauge and handling a full range of loads, from 2-3/4 up to the potent 3-inch magnum without adjustment, the M3000 can take down turkey, waterfowl and upland game birds. The receiver has also been drilled and tapped for mounting Weaver-style optic bases.

Should I buy a Stoeger M3000?

Indeed, with an average weight of just under 7 ½ pounds, the M3000 would be a great choice for the “one-gun hunter” looking for a combo waterfowl/upland smoothbore. In fact, Stoeger’s camo finishes are more expertly applied and resist fading better than some applications I’ve seen on much more expensive guns.

What choke to use for slugs?

Improved cylinder, cylinder choke, and rifled choke tubes are the best choke tubes for slugs. These choke tubes offer little constriction to provide stability when shooting.

Are Stoeger shotguns any good?

Stoeger Industries has put together a good budget shotgun for field use. Under standard hunting use, this gun would probably have a 15-30 year serviceable life. The gun is also very capable for light use on clays fields, but will not hold up to extensive shooting.
