Stoeger P3000 12 Gauge Pump-Action – Realtree Max-5, 28" Barrel
If you are looking for a workhorse pump that blends Italian-derived engineering with field-ready practicality, this Stoeger P3000 deserves a place in your rack. Finished nose-to-butt in Realtree Max-5 camouflage, it shoulders quickly, runs 2¾" and 3" shells interchangeably, and carries the same rotating bolt head concept that made its Benelli cousins famous—all at a fraction of their price. With a 28" vent-rib barrel, a chrome-lined bore, and a Modified choke already installed, it is set up to chase everything from early-season teal to late-winter geese.
Condition
Very good overall. The camo film shows only light, superficial scuffs and handling marks; no finish loss that penetrates the pattern. Checkering on the synthetic fore-end is crisp, the recoil pad is unmarred, and the aluminum receiver remains free of dents. Inside, the chrome-lined bore is bright and mirror-clean with no pitting or rough spots.
What’s Included
• Stoeger P3000 pump-action shotgun
• One Mobil-style Modified choke tube (factory-installed)
Debuted in 2016 as Stoeger’s budget-friendly answer to the classic pump, the P3000 borrows several tricks from its Italian stablemates. The steel rotating bolt locks directly into the barrel extension for secure, consistent headspacing even with stout 3" loads. An aluminum alloy receiver keeps weight manageable for long walks to the blind, while the steel-reinforced polymer trigger guard shrugs off hard use and cold conditions.
The 28" barrel wears a red fiber-optic front bead on a ventilated rib—easy to pick up in dim marsh light—while the screw-in Mobil choke system lets you tailor patterns; additional tubes interchange readily if you already run Beretta/Benelli Mobil gear. A 14" length of pull and a thick recoil pad strike a balance between swing speed and comfort.
Whether you want a dependable back-up to your autoloader, a dedicated waterfowl stick, or a first pump for a new hunter, this camo P3000 offers proven mechanics, easy maintenance, and a five-year factory warranty—all wrapped in a finish that disappears against reeds and timber.
Give it a spot in your lineup and head for the wetlands with confidence.
