Stoeger M3020 Turkey 20 Ga

Hunters have long known about the value and performance to be found in Stoeger shotguns. One of American Hunter’s favorite waterfowl guns has long been the Stoeger M3500 Waterfowl Special. Now turkey hunters can get a special Stoeger semi-auto designed for their pursuit: the M3000 12-gauge and M3020 20-gauge Turkey special edition.

In 2025, Stoeger leans its back against the perfect turkey-hunting tree to design its perfect turkey-hunting shotgun—at an attractive price of only $699! Both of these models were developed with spring hunts in mind.

As the nomenclature implies, the M3000 Turkey is chambered in 12-gauge with a 23/4-inch chamber and the M3020 (shown above) is chambered in 20-gauge with a 3-inch chamber. Each gun sports 3+1 capacity between the chamber and tubular magazine. Both Turkey Edition shotguns also come with extra-full turkey choke tubes. Barrel length is 22 inches regardless of gauge.

The lock, stock and barrel of both guns are all clad in Mossy Oak Bottomland, an “old school” camo that’s making a great comeback. Both guns are fitted with an easy-to-see Hi-Viz fiber optic front sight at the end of their 22-inch barrels. The M3000 12-gauge features an integrated cut-out for an RMR-style footprint, so a hunter is free to mount the red dot of his choice. The M3020 includes a Picatinny rail ready for a hunter to mount it atop the receiver then pick a red dot or scope to his liking.

Both guns include a color-matching paracord-style adjustable sling so you can run-and-gun or stop and call hands-free. Both turkey-hunting shotguns deliver a payload with authority. Retail price of these turkey slayers is just $699, making either one just the ticket for hunters looking to upgrade this spring. That price also includes Stoeger’s five-year warranty. This gun is ready, right out of the box, to do damage. Just add your favorite load. To learn more about it visit StoegerIndustries.com.
