The Stoeger P3000 is a working gun bargain. It provides users a solid pump-action shotgun at a very reasonable price.<\/p><\/div>\n

For more information, visit\u00a0Stoeger<\/a>.When I think of Stoeger, the picture that always comes to mind is that of the classic Stoeger Coach Guns<\/a>. I shot one of these at \u201crabbit\u201d clay targets bounding across the Cody, Wyoming brush a few years ago at a Shooting Industry Masters event and was instantly hooked. A side-by-side design, the Coach models have short and compact 20-inch barrels, so they\u2019re super handy and maneuverable. Recoil was \u201cenlightening\u201d but in some strange and masochistic way, that made the compact little buckshot launcher even more fun.<\/p>\n

The Stoeger P3000 is a nice looking gun with sleek lines and good handling.<\/p><\/div>\n

Once you get past the classic Coach gun, you\u2019ll find that the Stoeger folks offer a variety of firearm types and styles and not just shotguns. As an example, one of their product lines includes the former Beretta 8000 semi-automat pistol. As a \u201cchild\u201d of the Beretta family of companies, it\u2019s not surprising that Beretta shipped all the original 8000 tooling to Turkey to allow Stoeger to continue production, but at a far lower price point. Over the decades, the Turks have figure out how to make quality guns at very compelling price points.<\/p>\n

That brings us to the Stoeger P3000 Pump-action Shotgun<\/a>. This sleek looking gun sports a manufacturer\u2019s suggested retail price of just $299. With that MSRP, you\u2019ll be able to find one of the shelves for less than that. If you need a waterfowl, hunting slug gun, or home defense shotgun<\/a>, and are constrained by budget, this is a great way to pick up a brand new one for less than 300 bucks.<\/p>\n
