Absolutely agree with you. Any new O/U less than a grand is a complete POS. Save your money and get a nice used Browning, SKB or Beretta...

I've had a Condor for around 10 years and it is still taking clays without a bit of trouble. It's got a 24 in barrel because I wanted something for Grouse in thick woods and damp. It does fine. On a bet, I took it to a Skeet range and it did what I wanted. Now the grandkids are using it because it's shorter.

My dad purchased a 12ga Condor about a year ago and takes out for sporting clays at least once a month and has never had an issue. He even took it pheasant hunting a few times this year and got his first double in a long time. We ran well over 100 rounds through it last week shooting clays at deer camp with no issues. In my opinion it's a good gun for the money.

You can buy a Browning and impress your friends or you can buy a Condor, and still afford to buy enough ammo to shoot the hell out of it.
What do you want to do? Look good or shoot good?

You would be better off donating your money to a good cause. Probably the worst shotguns on the market...

Have owned 2 Stoegers and didn't have any problems with them. One is a Condor Competition. It is a nice looking shotgun that serves it purpose for upland hunting and skeet.

One thing I've noticed with the newer low end shotguns is that the barrels are not made of the steel that older doubles were and that more expensive shotguns are.

It's okay for a beginner or a person who isn't going to shoot much.

If I had it to do over again, I'd go for the Mossberg Silver Reserves. Seems to have much better steel barrels. Haven't fired one or owned one though.
