Ed makes a good point. Are you planning to shoot this gun a lot? A thousand rounds of 12 gauge sounds like a lot but an regular target shooter will easily go through that in a month. I generally go through more if the weather's nice.
If this is what you aspire to, go for the guns that have the proven track record even among used guns.
Where I disagree is the suggestion that 25 thousand rounds is considered the lifespan of a shotgun. At that point, good guns are just getting broken in. I have at least two that have gone further than that. One of them had passed the 100 thousand mark well before I got it and I put 25 thousand through it before it needed a minor overhaul at the factory. It's now as good as new.
Whether a Stoeger Condor will last over the long term isn't something I could predict. They aren't very common on the clay target fields.
