I have a Stoeger m3020 20 gauge. Turkey edition. 28 inch barrel, cerakote etc. She is a real gem. Shot a 100 brick of light loads through it today on clays. Cheap 2 3/4, 7/8 ounce loads. Eats everything without a hiccup, and is lights out on target. Hands down my favorite gun in the cupboard.

[@user-dw5wq8yx1c]

I have Beretta A300 Ultima, A400 Extreme Plus, and Stoeger M3500. All good guns. I kinda like the feel and swing of the Stoeger better. All cycles everything I put in them.

On my 5th season with a Stoeger M3500. Last season and the current I’ve been having occasional cycling issues. Internet says these guns wear out quicker than the high end guns. Parts aren’t all that expensive which is nice but I’ll probably upgrade next season

It would have been nice to have heard some of the specifications like the exact weight of each gun , this is always my first consideration when buying a shotgun and I have found that you have to weigh them yourself to ever find out , three different videos of the SX4 ,,,gave three totally different weights,,,however I did enjoy the video and watched all the way through , I am just like you guys , the personable side of a gun is the part that matters most ,, also the availability, can you even get one factor matters,, the Sauer SL-5 semiautomatic are being bought now under 1000 and the removable sling studs and weight 6.6 makes it a top choice for me , however finding one to buy might be a job.

[@johnnash9072]

I Love my M3000, purchased 5 years ago. I have put probably 2500 rounds through it shooting sporting clays after break in. I cleaned and oiled it before break in. Noticed a zipping sound during break in (with 50 round of 3 inch # 4shot) and during the round of 100 clays the same day. So off to KZbin and found some 3 gun mod videos saying to polish the machine marks off the mag tube where the recoil spring rides. I started with 400 grit then 600 and 800 and finished with a 1000 wet with rubbing alcohol. Now all I hear is bang and click as the next round enters the chamber. With 7 1/2 club loads it is as comfortable as my buddies Benelli Super Black Eagle. The big difference between the 2 is the Benelli recoils up and the Stoeger pulls the barrel down. I like this for true pairs as it opens my sight picture more for faster acquisition. Be careful removing the mag spring retaing plug, its tight. Have fun with it. Its nice shooter.

The “improvements” are not that great, recoil is worse and the bolt handles tend to fall out, the newer guns have had this fixed I think ?!! The safety catch is square along with the bolt release..... that’s about it. Honestly buy an SX3 👍🏻
