The Stoeger M3020 is an affordable shotgun in the line of quality. It gives a clean shot and lets the gun stay clean longer since it has no propellant gas that vents into the action. A ventilated rib is fitted in the gun's barrel. This beauty comes with three choke tubes with an improved cylinder, modified, and extra-full turkey. The gun also has a shim kit used for cast adjustment and drop. Learn more about the Stoeger Model 3020 as you scroll on.

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.

Take a closer look at the Stoeger Model 3020 by watching this video from GunCity:

Using the Stoeger Model 3020 for a couple of times was definitely an experience to remember. I would recommend this beauty for some upland shooting and waterfowling. It's simple yet reliable. You'll surely have fun out in the field using this gun. A market value of $700 is a small price to pay for a shotgun of this quality. I'm considering getting one in the near future.

    my new 3020 does not cycle, have sent it back to factory twice and it keeps comming back and still will not cycle, it won’t shoot anything but 3 inch and I have shot over 100 rounds of so called brake in, 2 3/4 federals 7/8 dram, number 8. sense . I have a 12 gauge and it works like a dream, this is why I bought the 3020 for my wife, they can’t fix it and won;t give me my money back. I am a pistol smith and so after the second trip to the factory I guess I will have to fix it. what the -uck

    Make them in 12 ga. and 10 ga. and able to shoot 2 3/4″ up to 3 1/2″ mag shells. I’d buy one of each at twice the current msrp.
