Stoeger M3000 or 3500 Anyone have one?

I've been looking at them and can't find a whole lot of reviews on them. Just wondering if anybody on here has one or knows anything about them? I know they're made by Bennelli and use the inertia driven system, but thats about it.

Bumping this. Id like to hear some more about them as well. Apparently they use the same Benelli Inertia operating system, which definitely makes me interested.

I looked at the Stoger before buying the Franchi I-12.

The Franchi is a much more well built gun than the Stoger, yet priced lower than the Benelli.

All three guns use the same operating system, just at three different price and quality points.

I believe the I-12 has been discontinued and has been replaced by another model with the inertia operating system.

This.

I've owned a 2000 and put thousands of rounds through it without a hiccup. I have no qualms with Stoeger's quality.

What rounds are you shooting? 3 inch or 3 and a half?

I ended up getting a pretty good deal on a 2000. I like it so far, haven't put to many rounds through it yet. I will be putting a lot more rounds through it this winter in waterfowl season, if we ever get any rain that is!
