According to Stoeger, the M3K is made with 3-gunners in mind and gives them a compact, lightweight, maneuverable shotgun. The gun maker states this gun is, indeed, competition-ready. The M3K 3-Gun Model is based on the trusted M3K line and fine-tuned to meet the needs of dedicated 3-gun competitors.
Stoeger’s new M3K 3-Gun Model has a black matte synthetic stock with nicely contrasting blue anodized features, including the aluminum bolt release and aluminum bolt handle. It’s competition-ready and is made with a variety of features that are usually in the realm of higher-priced models, but Stoeger has managed to make it happen at a more affordable price point.
The M3K 3-Gun has a triad of components to facilitate smooth, fast operation, giving you your best time yet. The 12-gauge shotgun has a 3-inch chamber, so you can run either 2 3/4- or 3-inch loads comfortably and reliably thanks to the gun’s Inertia Driven System. Other features include an oversized safety, a custom elongated carrier, and an enlarged loading port that’s been beveled for faster reloads.
This shotgun has improved grip ergonomics and a slim profile, making it highly maneuverable and intuitive to handle. Stoeger made this shotgun for speed and comfort and added features to make it all possible. This includes a new recoil pad to absorb shock and an integrated cheek pad for a more secure cheek weld. The gun’s design gives shooters a clear view down the vented rib, which is meant to draw the eye to the point of aim—a red-bar front sight. Also included is a shim kit to adjust the fit to the shooter and three chokes in C, IC, and M.
