Wish they would come out with an auto 20ga. My pistol grip 2000 is the best patterning turkey gun I have owned.


what set up you have on yours? currently I am running mine with a jelly head and winchester Xtended range #6...shoots good but not 100% sold on the set up. i did just order some Hevi13 #7 to try though.

all in all i LOVE my 2000. Also does anyone know what recoil pad actually fits the pistol grip stock? for the life of me i can find one to fit it. I know the browning version sims will fit the field stock but not the pistol grip.


I am running mine with an IC choke, Burris FF and a pistol grip stock. I am shooting hand loaded 1/3/4 oz #7 Hevi shot.
This target was shot before I had my FF sighted in.

My M2000 is the original model.  Great gun, love it.  But the action is a lot rougher than the Benelli.  One thing I noticed on the 3500 is the machining is a LOT smoother and more comparable to the Benelli.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

My local gun shop has several 3500's in stock camo/or black version, they have been selling them for $559.95 not a bad price for the package really.

While out and about tonight I stopped by the local Scheels store and they had one M3500.  Now you couldn't ask for a nicer 3.5 Auto for $599.  A tad heavier than my M2 but she cycled nice smooth and clean.  The gun shouldered well and felt good in the hands.  Although I didn't get to shoot this gun I can see that if it shoots and functions as good as it looks and feels that Stoeger has got themselves a big time winner on their hands here.  If this gun had been the 24" version I would of probably went home with it tonight but naturally the salesman at Scheels says like most of the idiots they have working there in his high pitched nasally voice...... "ahhhhh we only order and stock the 26" and 28" barrel guns".  So with the store manager standing there watching I respond with, "Well that's too bad,  if you would of had a 24" gun I would of taken it home tonight.  Thanks for your time, Good Night."

But seriously... If a person is looking for a 3 1/2" auto for a turkey gun I would highly suggest that they check out this gun.
