I've been researching popular waterfowl guns lately and came across a stoeger m3500 and was very impressed. Just curious if anyone had any feedback on that gun or could possibly inform me of another good waterfowl gun around that price. Thanks

I own a Stoeger, but it's an O/U.

Very pleased - it my "beater" now.............shot thousands of rounds throught it !


I've only heard good things about their "new" (3500) autoloader also.

The Stoegers are excellent guns....My hunting partner has used one with super results. He uses a HeviShot Mid Range waterfowl tube with it...LETHAL

Thanks for the input guys. Glad to see I'm not the only one who has confidence in this brand.

I have also a good one but this name as "Shaolan". This has a good pressure and a good shot aim. This never miss a single one ever I have used this. I used to take it with my Camping where-ever I go with my friends or family

Stoegers have the reputation of being the bottom of the barrel, some of the cheapest and crappiest new shotguns. Not to say they won't work. Just that pretty much anything else is better. I would chose from a weatherby, Remington, benelli, browning, or berretta if you are looking for an autoloader. Ithaca also makes good pumps. CZ is not bad either depending on the year it was made.

I have a benelli nova and I luv it. I don't have any experience with stoeger but I think benelli is a parent company of stoeger so they are probably high quality.

I had a Stoeger 2000 but traded it to my brother. that gun would shoot anything I put in it. Some people call them crappy guns, but the whole Stoeger semi auto line has the same Benelli inertia system and same rotating bolt head.
I'd say the only thing different between a Benelli gun and a Stoeger gun is the name.
