Accokeek, MD – Shotgun enthusiasts have come to know Stoeger’s M3000 semi-auto shotgun as a go-anywhere, do-anything platform for all manner of hunting and clay-busting pursuits. For 2025, Stoeger expands its M3000 lineup into the personal defense realm with the addition of the all-new M3000 Tactical.
Powered by the “cycles-anything” Inertia Driven® system, with its clean operation and rotating bolt head for positive lockup, the M3000 Tactical is the practical choice for those looking for a highly capable, always dependable semi-auto shotgun for home and personal defense.
The M3000 Tactical begins with a Tungsten Cerakote® receiver fitted with an 18.5-inch barrel. The barrel comes with a breacher-style choke and a pedestal front sight that is built to take the hard knocks. This sight works in conjunction with a robust ghost ring rear sight for fast and accurate sight picture acquisition. Those who prefer an optic can take advantage of the included Picatinny rail or the factory optic cut using supplied adaptor plates that have an RMR or Burris footprint.
Validating the shotgun’s fighting credentials is a tactical-style stock hosting an ergonomic pistol grip with an integrated buttstock. The stock includes both M-LOK and QD mounting points for diverse sling positioning and a prominent cheek riser to ensure good eye alignment with the open sights or an optic.
As with all M3000-series shotguns, the M3000 Tactical features a large bolt handle, an oversized bolt release, and a large safety button to assist in high-stress operation. Similarly, the loading port is beveled to promote fast reloading.
The M3000 Tactical is offered in a 2 3/4- and 3-inch 12-gauge chamber with a 4+1 capacity. MSRP is $449.
