Well I got a new Stoeger 3500 auto 12ga. Going try it out Fri & wish me luck. I have pumps most of my life. Had a 11-48 Rem Full choke when I was in 8th grade. Hard hit rabbits with it. Never could by extra barrel back than. Would had got a imp cly for rabbits. Knock squirrels down good though.
Well i did try my new Stoeger 3500 12ga out Sunday. Got 9 out of 15 crows. I knew where a small group hang out at & went for it. Could have went to 3 more place to go but grand kids comes frist. I did patteren the gun frist before i took it out. It did handle no 8 shot very well & 7 1/2 right behind it The choke i use is a kick's smoke choke. I did try it on clay birds to get use to gun to before i took it. It fit good & it did smoke the clay birds As for the crows feathers flew too lol Get my son have get him how to pit pictures on hear next time i hope
Wingmaster,,,,, You will rub the forearm raw for the first few hunts trying to pump it Then you will get used to it. next time you take your pump gun you will have a single shot til you remember to pump. Sounds wierd but it is the truth.................I started to buy the Stoeger for my son,,,,,,,,,Heard a lot of bad war stories about break downs,,,,He will wait for a super X 3...
