(GunReports.com) — Stoeger’s new M3500 3.5-inch 12-gauge semi-automatic is a waterfowling/wild turkey/upland gamebird shotgun that handles a range of loads from 2.25-inch up to the potent 3.5-inch Magnum without adjustment.
The Stoeger M3500 uses the Inertia Driven operating system that doesn’t use propellant gas venting into the action.
Stoegers M3500 comes with 24-, 26- or 28-inch barrels, has a ventilated, stepped rib and fiber-optic front sight and an alloy receiver drilled and tapped for an included Weaver-style scope base.
All M3500s come supplied with five choke tubes (Extra-full turkey, Full, Modified, Improved-Cylinder, and Cylinder), shim kit for drop and cast adjustment, and a threaded steel recoil reducer that can be installed in the buttstock to help manage felt recoil from heavy Magnum loads.
The M3500 is available in three different finishes Matte Black synthetic, Realtree® APG or Realtree® Max-4®.
