Wow, that is one hell of a shotgun for the money!
Agreed! Looks like it could be a fantastic bedside / truck / both gun.
There’s a show this weekend near me, hopefully I can find one to see if it feels decent.
For sure.
According to their web site (https://www.stoegerindustries.com/p3000-pump-shotgun), the defensive models with 18.5″ barrels start at $289. Looks like no mag extension for the lower-priced ones, but that still sounds like a great deal.
Kevin – No doubt.

So heck yeah, buy one and support Erdogan the Dictator of Turkey!
Turkey actually makes real good shotguns. Used to sell the Gazelle’s when I had my shop, and never had a problem with them.
“Turkey actually makes real good shotguns.” Some manufacturers in Turkey produce junk shotguns, the ones produced for CZ I’ve seen fail right out of the box, less than 50 round of gun club loads. Broken extractors and firing pins. I’ve seen a few good Tristars (shotguns) but seen more that were not so good. Turkish guns can be great Tristar and Canick pistols, but Turkish politics suck.
And likely subpar construction as well.
Not only do I trust in Beretta, I also have less of an issue buying from Brazil. What carries the Stoeger name is not always made in Turkey. The P3000 is interesting though.
The good- Owned by parent company Benelli/Beretta. The Stoeger semi auto is slightly similar to my Benelli, obviously not as polished.
The Bad- Made in Turkey. 12 guage with that style stock, in my experience, isn’t great on the shoulder.
With that said this shotgun does have a lot of features that would cost a lot to add to a budget pump like a Mavrick 88.
My 88 will do anything a house gun needs to do. And i know it will work every time I need it.
Im not anti Mossberg and like their pump guns. Im just saying to upgrade the sights, add an adjustable stock and mag extension it’s going to cost more than this Stoeger.
Not trying to argue with you. I live in CA so the stock has to be fixed. My 88 came with a 7 round mag and a 20 inch tube. The sights are just a simple bead. Which are fine for a house gun. For 200 bucks.
And I don’t have to risk poor qc from a turkish company.
Like my 88 too. Right out of the box, added light, that’s all. Smooth shooting and racking with 2 3/4 inch 00 buck, 6 round max. $189 w/o tax. Basic dependable home defense tool.
Ive got love for my 88… wish I had the extended mag version though. Mine was >$170 after sales tax so I won’t complain too much.
No go from the wannabe Sultanate…US made components?!?😕
I thought 922r covered semi autos but additional laws tacked onto the 922r state “semiautomatic rifle or any shotgun”.
If you can’t break it in 5yrs it will probably last longer than the first two owners do. As for Turkey politics, I don’t plan on going rabbit hunting there any time soon. Been looking for a good 12 mag fed pump and under $300. This might be it.
Two of my weaknesses: crazy, liberal, minority women and inexpensive, imported, tactical shotguns…
I don’t need another of either but I can’t help myself!
