I owned one for about a year. It was $300 and I got what I paid for. It was heavy at 7 lbs. for a 20 gauge with 24" barrels, and the fit and finish weren't spectacular. Still, it was a good beater gun and never failed me. The barrels were well regulated which I hear can be iffy on Stoeger SxSs, and the double triggers were quite good for the price.
I had only one complaint: The heavy barrels made it swing like a shovel with cement on it, not like the short field gun it was. I sold it for that reason and no other. A Cowboy Action Shooter paid me $250 for it and is very happy with it for that purpose.
My advice: Decide what handling qualities you want in a gun and buy that one. If the Stoeger fits the bill then you'll be happy.
