An extension of their M3500 line, Stoeger has debuted the Predator/Turkey Special. With the pistol grip so indicative of a modern turkey gun, the M3500 features a 12 ga., 3 1/2 inch chamber, and semi-automatic, inertia-driven operation. This latter component is contained primarily within the receiver, intended to promote more centered balance and swing. A ported barrel reduces muzzle rise and recoil, working with the SteadyGrip pistol-grip buttstock to help hunters get back on target quicker. Chambered to take from 2 3/4- up to 3 1/2-inch magnum loads without adjustment, the shotgun’s receiver is drilled and tapped to mount the included Weaver 93 base. Should an optic not be desired, a fiber-optic front sight sits atop the 24-inch barrel. Fully camouflaged in Mossy Oak Overwatch, the official camouflage pattern of your NRA, the M3500 Predator/Turkey Special comes with two extended Mojo hunting chokes, and a paracord sling. With a 4+1 capacity, the M3500 Predator/Turkey Special weighs in at seven and a half pounds. For more information, please visit stoegerindustries.com. MSRP: $929
