Gun Info

Being a semi-automatic shotgun, the Stoeger Model 3020 is the best choice in waterfowling. It’s the third version of the Stoeger 3000 series autoloader shotguns. It can handle a 2 ¾-inch load up to a 3-inch magnum load without any adjustments needed. This beauty is equipped with a ventilated rib, giving the shooter a quick target acquisition. When you look at this shotgun at the side, it looks like a 26-inch replica of the 3-inch model. Although you can tell that it’s definitely not a 12-gauge just by picking it up.
