Best place to get a M3000?

Justin Garcia · Oct 6, 2014

Looking to pick one up after some trouble I've been having with my 930. Most places I found want 550 for them. I've heard of them going for mid 400's but can't find them anywhere. Anyone have a lead on one?

I got one at a farm store. Not a place everyone would look.

Gun broker has them for $499 shipped.

I got mine on Gunbroker for about $475 shipped before the 3-gun crowd started snapping them up.

I just picked up a Franchi Affinity on gun broker for $659 shipped. Similar in design and function to the M3000 but it's built in the Benelli plant rather than in Turkey like the M3k.

That's a good deal for what you get but damn it's $200 more than the M3000 main competition the JM Pro 930.

Agree with both of these gentlemen. Had great (and prompt/timely) discussion with them.

At that price though you might want to pick up a Beretta 1301 comp for a couple hundred more.

jtischauser · Oct 17, 2014

The 1301 still needs some serious load port work which will cost you a couple hundred bucks if you don't do it yourself. You also need to buy an $80 mag tube. So your looking at $280-480 more than the MOA package.

CZ 712 is $500ish, less online. It's 3 gun capable with some mods.

drmitchgibson · Oct 17, 2014

For 3-Gun, the CZ 712 is a slightly better option than a Taurus Judge.

Bill's in Claremore $490 out the door I do believe.

Update Boomer Shooter Classifieds $500 for a ready to go one ðŸ˜

Wild Bill1 · Jan 19, 2015

H&H had them for 499.99 and I think there was a rebate for $100 but I'm not sure what dates the rebate was good for.

jtischauser · Jan 19, 2015

Stoeger had a $50 rebate thru the end of 2014.

Wild Bill1 · Jan 19, 2015

Better late than pregnant right?

Stoeger stiffed me on my rebate. I purchased one last year and broke the breech bolt latch while switching out the carrier. They basically said... We don't have that $3 dollar part to get you back up and running, so you have a $500 paper weight and we aren't very concerned about looking for the part for you. I ended up buying one for a M3500. I purchased another M3000 for my son for Christmas (this is the one I submitted rebate paperwork for) and it is having ejections problems. Ill try some AA in it and see if that helps, it hates Estate.

So far I am less than thrilled with Stoeger.... Im beating my head against the wall about why I have two of them in my safe.
