Re: Stoger 3020
First of all, you gotta spell it correctly.
It's Stoeger. LOL I love my 12ga. It is my "go to"
Gun. If we didn't have a Benelli 20, I'd have one in a New York minute.

Love my Stoygah M3500 and will probably have a 3020 one day. They just came out maybe a little over a year ago so you probably won't find a whole lot about them.

Sorry for the misspelling, blame it on global warming, what choke tubes does it use?Shooter wrote:First of all, you gotta spell it correctly.

Re: Stoeger 3020
The 3020 is a super gun. It is a pleasure to shoot and are quickly gaining a following. Every time I decide on a pattern I cant find it locally. Black is always available but I want it camoed. If it were available in a 24" and had a factory drilled and tapped receiver Id probably make it my main squeeze if it patterned well which i'm sure it will. I cant find anyone in Macon willing to touch the drill job and cant make myself send off a brand new gun.

Re: Stoeger 3020
Does it have any issues feeding 3"rounds? I roll crimp my TSS loads.would I need to trim the hulls?

Re: Stoeger 3020
I would have bought it....but it wasn't drilled and tapped, so it's usless to me as a turkey gun.

Re: Stoeger 3020
I just bought one. Put a 100rds of light brass 8's through it without a hiccup last weekend.Turkinator wrote:Just looked yesterday at a stoeger 3020 camo 26"barrel. Lite gun, handled easily, $550 .what are some of the good the bad and the ugly about this gun. I've never owned a stoeger
I shot a pie plate at 40yds with the TruLock Heavy 7 choke and Fed 3" Heavy 7's. Only 90 or 91 pellets in the pie plate. I just had the plate tacked to a tree and that was the first shot out of that brand new gun. I think the POI is a little low. The majority of the shot was on the bottom of the plate.. I had broke it down after I bought it, and cleaned it thoroughly.
Once I get my TSS 9 loads rolled, I'm going to put up a patterning target and get it patterned properly.
For the money, I'm very happy with my purchase. I can't believe how light the kick is with the fed heavy 7's compared to my old, reliable Nova. I fear I may never pick up a 12ga to turkey hunt with again...
Re: Stoeger 3020
Hi I am new here and I have a 3020 20ga, love shooting it and bought it mainly for turkey hunting. I still have to pattern it and was thinking about putting a Red Dot on it, just have to find a Good gunsmith to drill & tap it.
Re: Stoeger 3020
I bought a black 26" back in Dec. Its gonna be my main turkey gun this yr. I bought black because i want it cerakoted. I drilled and tapped the receiver and put a red dot on it. Im shooting 3" #9 TSS thru the factory turkey choke. At 40 yds im getting 282-306 in 10". Out of the box the gun shot about 6" low and had a really hard trigger. I sent the trigger to Rob Roberts and its smooth and easy. The red dot took care of the low pattern. Ive shot several hundred rounds of target loads thru it without any problems. Overall its a good gun, shoots good, handles good and its lite weight! I would recommend it!
Re: Stoeger 3020
So is there enough meat to drill & tap? Thanks for the info.
Re: Stoeger 3020
My M3020 shoots around 6-7" low at 40yds. I've only tried a TruLock Fed Heavy 7 choke with 9's and the factory choke that came with it.
The TruLock has given out a few 200 on the nose counts and one 204 count. It's consistent and has a even pattern. I've only shot one shot with the factory choke through a dirty barrel and it yielded 234.
I've got a Carlson's .575 extended tube on order and I'm going to see how it works out.

Re: Stoeger 3020
So does anyone have any pics of their 3020 with a Red Dot on it?
Re: Stoeger 3020
this is my set up for now b- square 16175 cantilever rib mount 26.00 with my Burris fast fire 11 until I get the receiver drilled and tapped
Re: Stoeger 3020
this is the mount for the Burris fast fire it's a weaver 35 top mount for the m3020 receiver
Re: Stoeger 3020
I seen that setup on Amazon, did not think it would fit the rib on the 3020? Going to get one now, is it shooting well?

Re: Stoeger 3020
Rich is gonna post a pic of his Tru Glo's he put on his. Very easy to deal with.
Shot it yesterday with the turkey choke it came with. Put up very nice pattern with great numbers.
I don't remember the Nellie M1 punchin my shoulder that hard though.
