The price on these guns is attractive ...but I don't know what Stoeger will do on a warranty or how long it would take for them to get a gun back to you. I doubt they would just replace the gun for you / but they might fit a new set of barrels on the receiver .....and then of course you'd have to hope the new one was better than the other one ... Most retail stores of course / will only ship it back for you for warranty - they aren't going to give you another gun usually.
A used Beretta or Browning in my area are still $750 - $800 or so on a fixed choke gun / and closer to $1,000 on a gun that has screw in chokes - so a used gun doesn't fit your criteria very well - unless you could find a Ruger or an SKB used maybe.
Easy for me to say - but its why I've kept the old Browning Lightning that I bought new in 1988. I use it as a loaner or a training gun ... / I don't want it beat up / but if someone were to drop it I wouldn't cry myself to sleep either vs one of my more expensive guns ...
