Stoeger Condor Outback...opinions???

bsbllrooster10 · November 2, 2009, 10:12 PM

I don't know why but this little shotgun really catches my eye. It seems like a very versatile little shotgun that could be a lot of fun. I've never seen one in person but does anyone have any experience with them. Quality? Fit and Finish? Would love to pick one up but just thought I would ask to see what ya'll thought of em.

Stoegers are pieces of junk . I have had a super condor combo for several years now and I hate it .

Bruno, what don't you like about your stoeger. What makes it "junk" in your opinion?

To start out with the gun is extremely heavy . I dont think that the gun is balanced very well either . A lot of their models dont include selectable barrels . The gun doent fit me very well and it hurts my face if I shoot it a lot . Another friend of mine won one at a Ducks unlimited shoot . The gun bruised his face and he sold it almost immediately . A member out at the club has one . He was shooting a game of trap with it and about 3/4 of the way through the game the gun came apart while he was shooting . He shot , I looked over at him and he had two pieces of a shotgun in his hands . I dont know if it broke , I dont know if it wasnt assembled right . Off of the top of my head I cant think of any gun that will function if it is not assembled correctly . I havent been happy with mine at all and I wish I would have spent the money on something else .

Go post your question on shotgunworld and base your opinion on what those guys say . I havent had any failures with it , but , its just not comfortable to me and I have owned a lot of different brands of shotguns and this is the only one that is going to require a special fit to keep it from hurting me .

I handled one but honestly living in a country where there is no law against a semiauto or pump shotguns I couldn't see any reason to own one. It's slick looking and I really really wanted to justify (to myself) adding one to my collection but for me it's an answer in search of a question. However to someone living in a country that frowns on repeaters it might be a good solution to numerous problems.
