Turkey, like England and Italy before it, is emerging as a hotbed of firearm manufacturing activity. While the majority of Turkish-made shotguns are classified as “economy models,” one brand — Stoeger — is at the top of the heap.

Stoeger mk3 semi-automatics are manufactured in Turkey, but as a Benelli affiliate, they are powered by the proven and reliable Inertia Driven operating system of their Italian parent company.

Several years ago, I seem to recall reading somewhere that a Turkish firm had done such an excellent job of copying Benelli’s inertia operating system that, rather than sue for patent infringement, the Italian gun giant instead brought them into the fold to improve quality and refine the system. While my sources at Benelli have not confirmed or denied this story, the resulting shotgun was the M2000, which was distributed by Stoeger.

The M2000, which has been in production for over a decade, has been replaced by the M3000, which was introduced last summer.

The Stoeger mk3 includes several upgrades not found on the M2000, most notably a receiver that has been drilled and tapped to accept a Weaver-style scope base and a shim kit for customizing gun fit, four of which were included with my test gun.
