Taking a chance on a Stoeger M3000 Freedom Series Defense Shotgun - opinions?

Lon, was the prefit pad you bought sized for the M3000?

If you want, I can look at limbsaver’s charts, they actually have templates on their chart and I can figure out which of the other fittable pads would be the right size.

That would be great!

Had a chance to get to the range for a brief visit yesterday. Fortuitously, my reduced weight spring from MOA arrived right before I left the house so I switched it out when I got to the range. MUCH more pleasant to shoot w that and the Limbsaver pad. I shot some 9 pellet FC, some 9 pellet off brand stuff and some bird shot. Cycled it all without a problem with the exception of the first time I ghost loaded it. Subsequent ghost loads worked fine. Some groups w the FC stuff. The groups are hitting high because my sights were off.





And with the other 9 pellet load.

So here’s some pics of the section of the stock I cut off compared to the Limbsaver chart.

Grind to fit pad



As you can see, it doesn’t look like the screw holes in the pad will match up to where the holes will be on the stock.

Pad specifically for the 3000



With that in mind, I’m not sure what to tell ya. Maybe order the grind to fit and see if there’s any way you can get the screws to line up. If not, send it back and get the 3000 specific one.

On a more positive note, it appears as if the Magpul forward sling mount works.

Thanks for checking that out for me. Looks like there are no real good options. I might be able to cut it down some and still use my slip on pad. It is the small one. Small fits stocks measuring 4-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches to 4-13/16 x 1-5/8 inches

Lon what does yours measure now that it is cut?

The LOP? Or the overall length? LOP is right at 13”. Or the dimensions of the stock?

The dimensions of the end of the of the buttstock. Curious to see if my slip on pad would fit if I cut mine down to the same length as yours.
