beans_and_bullets Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 New here but not new to shooting. I am fairly proficient in rifle and pistol shooting and excited to start shooting competition, primarily USPSA but hoping to get into 3 gun so i want to make purchases with that in mind. I am looking for a shotgun that is a jack of all trades master of none sorta shotgun to get me started. I have owned a pump 12g in the past but sold it because I found a good deal on a glock I couldn't pass up at the time. SO I've been looking at a stoeger m3000 or m3k to purchase. The primary use of this shotgun will be for fun, and I hear there is not many things more fun than 3 gun. So it will be primarily used with 3 gun in mind. I am also hoping it will do okay with clays/trap and an occasional hunting trip for dove, I would much rather be at a pistol range than a clay shoot but thats not always the case for my friends so clay/trap/dove is a secondary concern for me but I would still like to have it as an option. So with that in mind I was thinking a 24" or 26" barrel. Is the m3k going to put me at a disadvantage with the 24" barrel compared to a 26" m3000. Ive tried to read the mega thread. But its been taking up all my time so I figured I would just ask here... is there a general consensus m3k or m3000 modified? Whatall would need to be done to either for a minimalist 3 gun set up? Any and all info is appreciated! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertTortoise Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'd contact MOA Precision and buy one of their package deal M3000 shotguns. I think that's the best deal going. I'm not well versed enough in shotguns to tell you 24 inch vs 26 inch, but I can tell you that the magazine extension can go way past the muzzle of the gun with no problems so it doesn't limit you there.
