Also known as: Stoeger M3000 Freedom Tactical
Overview
The Stoeger M3000 Freedom Series Tactical is a 12-gauge inertia-driven semi-automatic defensive shotgun built on the proven M3000 platform. It features an 18.5-inch barrel, an extended 7+1 tube magazine, ghost-ring sights and an optics-ready receiver cut, a breacher choke tube, and a tactical stock with M-LOK slots and QD cup mounting points. A Tungsten Cerakote receiver gives a subdued, duty-ready finish, and the Inertia Driven system runs cleaner than gas guns while cycling both 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch loads without adjustment.

Notes
Inertia-driven (recoil-operated) Benelli-style action, not gas. Overall length approximately 40 inches; weight about 7.2 lb; length of pull 13.75 inches. Manufactured in Turkey for Stoeger Industries (a Benelli/Beretta Holding company).
Background
Stoeger's inertia-driven shotguns share their core operating principle with parent-company Benelli's, letting the M3000 Freedom Tactical deliver Benelli-style reliability at a fraction of the price, a recurring reason it shows up as a budget home-defense and 3-gun entry gun.
