The New Stoeger M3500 12-Gauge Shotgun
OutdoorHub 09.06.11
Columbus, Georgia, Sept. 6, 2011 — Versatility, value and solid reliability make the Stoeger M3500 3 ½-inch, 12-gauge shotgun the perfect choice for waterfowl, wild turkey or upland game birds. This camo shotgun, available in Realtree APG™ or Realtree MAX-4® handles a full range of loads, from 2¾-inch up to the potent 3½-inch Magnum without adjustment. For reliability and performance, no other 3½-inch semi-auto shotgun in its price range compares.
At the heart of the Stoeger M3500 is the proven Inertia Driven® operating system; simple and efficient with only three moving parts in the bolt for lightning-fast, reliable operation. Unlike older gas-system guns, the M3500’s Inertia Driven® action is contained primarily within the receiver; giving the Stoeger M3500 a better more centered balance and swing. With no propellant gas venting into the action, the M3500 stays cleaner longer.
Stoeger’s M3500 comes with either a 24-, 26- or 28-inch barrel, fitted with a ventilated, stepped rib and fiber-optic front sight for quick target acquisition, even under low-light hunting conditions. The alloy receiver is drilled and tapped and includes a Weaver-style scope base. All M3500’s 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.
