TFL Review Summary

Early on in our testing we had some cycling issues but over time it started to cycle fine. We really didn't like the trigger, but if it will cycle reliably, it may be a decent option for the money, but we have some reservations. If you are only pounding hunting rounds through it, the M3500 will probably work just fine.

Manufacturer Summary

Stoeger's Inertia Driven Model 3500 Waterfowl Special is equipped with features dedicated duck and goose hunters will appreciate. Oversized controls aid operation with gloved hands. Rugged, weather-resistant construction and finish stand up to the worst conditions. This semi-automatic shotgun is chambered for 3 1/2-inch magnum shells, but cycles 2 3/4- and 3-inch shells equally well without adjustment, and five chokes are included to deliver the kind of reliable versatility and value only Stoeger can provide.
