STOEGER M3500

Design & Key Features

The STOEGER M3500 is a semi-auto in the Semi Auto category that brings utility-forward features for defensive and sporting applications. It accepts 3.5″ shells, giving users access to long-range patterns and heavier payloads for stopping power when needed. The package includes four extended chokes—IC, MOD, Full, and XF Turkey—so you can tune pattern density for different tasks without aftermarket parts. A vent rib and fiber optic front bead simplify quick sight acquisition, especially under stress or low light.

The shotgun ships with an extended mag tube for additional capacity and a 2-point sling for practical carry and retention. Also included is a choke wrench for field-ready choke swaps. This model is listed as a Certified Used Firearm, meaning each gun is inspected and graded very good to excellent and sold with a ‘no questions asked’ return policy.

Performance & Handling

On the range, the 3.5″ chamber expands load selection—from lighter target loads to heavy-duty 3.5″ defensive loads—delivering predictable cycling in most modern semi-auto designs. The vent rib aids follow-up shot alignment and reduces barrel glare. With the four included chokes, you can set up the shotgun for close-quarters defense with IC or MOD, then switch to Full or XF Turkey for hunting or dedicated pattern work. The extended mag tube is especially useful for defensive scenarios where capacity matters.
