Stoeger has expanded its M3500 Waterfowl Special series with a new model finished in Mossy Oak Original Bottomland camo. Paired with a Patriot Brown Cerakote receiver and barrel, the M3500 Waterfowl Special in Mossy Oak Original Bottomland is purpose-built to blend into flooded timber while standing up to harsh, wet environments. A color-matched paracord sling is included, delivering a practical, hands-free carry option in the field.

At the heart of the M3500 Waterfowl Special is the proven Inertia Driven system, engineered to reliably cycle 2 3/4- to 3.5-inch loads. Chambered in 3.5-inch 12-gauge, the shotgun features a 4+1 capacity and a 28-inch barrel topped with a red-bar fiber-optic front sight. Extended IC, M, XFT, Close-Range and Mid-Range chokes are included to cover a wide range of waterfowl hunting scenarios.

Built for the conditions waterfowlers face most, the M3500 Waterfowl Special incorporates an oversized bolt handle and bolt release button to ensure positive operation while wearing gloves. A contoured loading port further simplifies shell loading in cold weather. Comfort-focused enhancements continue at the stock, which features a plush recoil-reducing butt pad and a soft cheek piece to help manage magnum loads during long days in the blind.

Additional features include a drilled and tapped receiver for easy optic mounting and an included shim kit that allows for custom drop and cast adjustments.
