Stoeger M3020

[bwhana]

Just got an M3020 with 28" barrel, synthetic stock with cerakote bronze finish. First shot at 40 yds with Federal TSS #9 with Carlsons TSS .555 choke. Did not count hits, but ready to hunt after several similar patterns.

Nice rig!

How’s it feel in your hands? Well balanced?

[bwhana]

Feels great, balances perfectly and for me, it is just narrow enough to sit in my hand in the sweet spot, but not too narrow that it will move. Locks in place. I have wanted one for quite a while and finally got the green light. Under 6 lbs, it will sit on my knee very well as soon as our season opens!

Thanks for feed back on it. Haven’t held one and wondered

They're killer waterfowl guns. Been running one for about 3 years now. Rarely misses a beat. Have yet to take one turkey hunting as I despise long barrels.

Mine has been good to me.

Cool pic!

Do these guns come drilled and tapped?

[bwhana]

The 20 does not, but the 12 does. I checked with Stoeger before I bought it and they confirmed it can be.

Not factory tapped but any smith can do it without a problem.

Next time I’m at the gun store I’ll check them out

If it feels balanced in my hands I might buy one

[bwhana]

I think you will like it. Everyone that has touched mine has been surprised at how good it feels. One has a Benelli and said it feels as good as his.

Held one at Bass Pro today. Very nice feel to it. This one had the 28” barrel. I would not want any longer than a 26.

How is the trigger pull?

[bwhana]

I don't have a scale, but it is tolerable, about the same as my 870 was. I plan to switch out the springs and lighten it like I've done with every shotgun I own.

What base would the M3020 use?

[bwhana]

They suggest a Weaver 93A.

EGW makes a base for the red dot sights. Heavy duty

this will fix you up

[bwhana]

Nice! Exactly why I am calling after our season is over to get mine done by you. I got mine too close to opening day do anything, so put a dead ringer beard buster on for this season only.

For the trigger pull question earlier, my TTI ultimate reduced power trigger and hammer springs will be here tomorrow and will install them in the evening. Opening day is tomorrow, have a couple of local birds roosting in same tree nightly, so a good chance of breaking this 3020 in right in the morning.

[bwhana]

Got this one with it yesterday. Dead on the spot, no 12 ga could kill it better!

very nice!

I tagged out with mine on Thursday. First bird was 64 yards, second was 55, both laser ranged and first was with Fed TSS #9, 2nd with Apex #9. I added TaranTactical lighter hammer and trigger springs and switched out the factory pad for a limbsaver. Best updates you can make for cheap.
