For 2026, Stoeger has added a new model to its M3000 semi-auto shotgun lineup with the M3000 Sporting model (#36084). This performance-driven sporting shotgun boasts the standard features of oversized controls, enlarged ejection and loading ports, a 30-inch ported barrel and extended choke tubes along with the aesthetic upgrades for shooters who prefer a classic shotgun. This sporter is built to be used on the range and in the field, not just admired.
This M3000 Sporting model's design enhancements include a satin walnut stock and fore-end, catering to shooters who prefer a more traditional look and feel. The walnut furniture pairs with a nickel receiver and a gloss blue 30-inch ported barrel to further enhance the classical aesthetics. The broadway-style rib is engineered to cut barrel heat and mirage while providing a bold, easy-to-track sight picture—promoting a natural, heads-up shooting posture that delivers consistent comfort and confident target acquisition shot after shot. These are complemented by the matte blue trigger, bolt release and bolt handle.
To facilitate operational speed and ease, the M3000 Sporting incorporates an extended bolt handle along with an enlarged bolt release button while the weighted magazine cap improves balance and swing.
The M3000 Sporting cycles 2 3/4- and 3-inch 12-gauge shotshells via its Inertia Drive System. This system promotes reliable cycling across a broad range of shotshell loadings, while also running cleaner than conventional gas-operated systems
Payload management comes courtesy of extended SK1, SK2, C, IC, and M New Style chokes. Also included are drop and cast adjustment shim kits to ensure a custom type fit.
