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?

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.

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

I just bought one. Put a 100rds of light brass 8's through it without a hiccup last weekend.

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... :D

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.

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!

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.

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?
