Jesse Tischauser Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I had nothing but trouble with rio shells. I couldn't even finish the case. I had never ran them before but I bought a case as they just now started showing up alongside the budget Estate shells at our academy sporting goods stores. Estate wouldn't run in my Benelli and they don't run in the Stoeger either. The shot doesn't leave the was for something like 5' I'm told. The only thing that happens to your tube sticking past the barrel is heavy carbon deposits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that happens to your tube sticking past the barrel is heavy carbon deposits. Based on this thread, I am picking up a 24" M3000. Unfortunately, I was hoping to burn through a ton of Estate I have lying around. Jesse - is it all Estate that has trouble in M2's and M3000's? I have 1 oz #7.5 3 dram equivalent (1235 FPS). I guess if it doesn't work through the m3000 my Supernova will chew through it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan N Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) I shot my first match with my M3000 yesterday. It ran 49 rounds of Estate 1 1/8oz #8 3dram with zero issues. Stage 5 required 28 birdshot, so the barrel did heat up a little bit. Edited March 3, 2014 by Ryan N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Cheap shells are very gun, case lot, and even time of the day, and day of the week dependent from what I've seen. You really gotta try some of everything in your gun to see what works for you. I will run the cheaper stuff occasionally for practice but even at a club match I run Fiocchi, AA's, STS's. The cheap stuff that fails the least former are the federal bulk packs and my buddy Chris Andersen runs the heck outta the Remington Gun Club stuff.

kurtm Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Jesse, thanks for the plug for the RNT rapid bolt release, but to say it " mimics the Dave Metal Works one is like saying a 2014 Corvette mimics a Model A.. If you look at the two side by side you will see exactly what I mean. Anyway, thanks again. Edited March 3, 2014 by kurtm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOM Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Is there any brand of choke out there that will have the same threading for Stoeger M3000 looking for a extended knurled that would tighten up all the way, a do it all choke that will run Slugs, Buck & Bird shot.

If you look at the two side by side you will see exactly what I mean. Anyway, thanks again. You're right Kurt I should have said resembles. I've heard yours is much improved. It does have the same easy installation though doesn't it? Is there any brand of choke out there that will have the same threading for Stoeger M3000 looking for a extended knurled that would tighten up all the way, a do it all choke that will run Slugs, Buck & Bird shot. Benelli Mobil Chokes fit. Get a Briley Black Oxide Extended in IC or LM and leave it in there for good if your after only one choke. Personally I use a bunch of different ones cause I got ADD.

BOOM Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Jesse; When ordering the Briley choke to fit the Stoeger, I should order Benelli LM is that correct, and Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) I think most will agree the LM is the most versatile. Sometimes you can get away with much less and sometimes you need a little more if you want to take full advantage of your pattern.

Ryan N Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I bought the Benelli Mobilechokes from CDNN for $12.99 and am happy with them. They also have a set for ~$45 plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Speaking of the RNT bolt release, does anybody know if it can be installed on the M3000? I am thinking no, given the parts of the action concealed underneath the forearm of the Stoeger, unlike the M2, but I would be happy to be proven wrong.

kurtm Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I have seen a picture of one installed on a 3000, but i don't know if he had shot it yet.. it just might slip under the spring and work just fine as the part under the hand guard is long and radiused to the contour of the magazine tube. Now that is a complete guess, but over on Boomershooter there is a picture of a 3000 with one of our Matte finish tabs installed....once again....I DON'T KNOW.

openclassterror Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 They stay pretty well if you wipe the stock down thoroughly with denatured alcohol first. DO NOT use acetone, unless you want your stuck to look like a half used sucker. . It is a great degreaser, but it is also a plastic solvent.

Jesse Tischauser Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Any problems with the cheek eez staying put on your stick? It's been on the gun 5 days so no. I didn't even clean the stock with alcohol or hear it up with a hair dryer before I applied it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I want to get a kick eez recoil pad and was wondering if anyone has bought one for the stoeger and if so which one did they get? Thanks I bought the Rocker and fit it to the stock. I was able to use 1 hole, but had to drill the 2nd. It also required a lot of grinding on the belt sander.

Jesse Tischauser Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well the KZ111 is the option that us suggested for the Stoeger but it doesn't fit anywhere close to as good as they do on a Benelli M1. Time to call the company and check on other options or do some grinding. Bummer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amr Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Dang I was hoping for a miracle cure butt pad. Where the screw holes right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I lined up one screw and the edges of the pad didn't line up with the edges of the stock so I didn't try the other screw. I'll play with it more tomorrow. Damn I hate gun smithing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
