Performance and User Reviews

Versatility

The Stoeger M3500 is highly praised for its versatility. It can handle a wide range of shell sizes, from 2 3/4 inches to 3 1/2-inch magnum loads, without requiring any adjustments. This makes it an excellent choice for hunters who need a single shotgun for multiple types of game. For example, one user reported using a 2 3/4-inch Federal Game-Shok Upland Game #7.5 shot for dove and a Winchester Long Beard XR Shotshells 3-1/2" 2 oz #4 for turkey, both of which worked perfectly with the Stoeger M3500.
