The Stoeger M3500 is a semi-automatic shotgun produced by Stoeger Industries. The M3500 is designed to handle a variety of hunting and shooting applications, particularly for waterfowl hunting and other outdoor activities. It is a 12-gauge shotgun capable of handling both 3-inch and 3.5-inch shotgun shells, making it suitable for different types of ammunition and varying hunting situations. The M3500 utilizes a semi-automatic inertia-driven action system, which is known for its reliability and low maintenance requirements. This action system uses the recoil energy to cycle the next round, reducing the need for gas system cleaning. The shotgun comes with a standard capacity of 4+1 rounds. It features a ventilated rib barrel, and some models may come with interchangeable choke tubes to provide versatility in different shooting scenarios. The shotgun often has a synthetic stock and forend, which are durable and resistant to harsh weather conditions, making it well-suited for outdoor activities. Also, many models of the Stoeger M3500 come with a front bead sight. Due to its ability to handle 3.5-inch shotgun shells, the Stoeger M3500 offers increased firepower and versatility, making it a popular choice for waterfowl hunters and those seeking a shotgun for various demanding hunting conditions.
