About the Stoeger M3500
The Stoeger M3500 is an inertia-driven semi-automatic shotgun chambered for 12-gauge shells up to 3.5 inches. Built on Benelli's Inertia Driven operating system and imported by Stoeger Industries (part of the Beretta Holding group), it cycles 2.75-, 3-, and 3.5-inch loads without adjustment thanks to a simple bolt with few moving parts. Marketed as an affordable waterfowl and turkey gun, it ships with multiple interchangeable choke tubes, a ventilated rib, and a fiber-optic front sight.
The M3500 uses the same Benelli-derived Inertia Driven bolt found in far more expensive shotguns, packaged at a budget price point that made 3.5-inch magnum semi-autos accessible to waterfowl hunters.
