Stoeger V7000 O/U Shotgun Debuts for 2026

Stoeger is expanding its double-gun lineup for 2026 with the Stoeger V7000 O/U shotgun, a new over/under platform aimed at hunters who want traditional handling without stepping into premium shotgun pricing. The series is positioned for upland birds, small game, and general field use.

The V7000 keeps the familiar break-action, two-barrel format while adding practical touches suited to regular use in brush and cover. Stoeger will offer the shotgun in both 12 gauge and 20 gauge, with 3-inch chambers and a choice of black or silver aluminum alloy receivers.

Over/under shotguns have long carried an association with fine wood, polished metal, and careful handling, but the field market has also made room for more utilitarian doubles. The Stoeger V7000 O/U shotgun appears to land in that working-gun space, where classic balance and two-shot simplicity matter more than ornate finish work.

For upland and small-game hunters, the 28-inch barrels, walnut stock, fiber-optic front sight, and included choke set give the V7000 a straightforward field configuration. The 12-gauge option brings broader load flexibility, while the 20-gauge version should appeal to hunters who prefer a lighter-recoiling, easier-carrying shotgun for long walks behind dogs or through cover.

The Stoeger V7000 O/U shotgun is slated for 2026 with an MSRP range of $949-$999, depending on model. Stoeger will offer 12-gauge and 20-gauge versions with either black or silver alloy receivers.

The V7000 adds a new over/under option to Stoeger’s hunting-shotgun lineup, giving buyers a field-ready double gun with traditional form, modern utility, and sub-$1,000 pricing.
