Stoeger Condor....yay or nay

stillGHILLIE · December 8, 2007, 10:17 PM

I have an opportunity to pick up a lightly used Stoeger Condor O/U from a friend very reasonable. It has the 26" bbls. and screw in chokes. I searched Condors on here, and it seems to be a mixed bag of reviews. I don't shoot trap or skeet, and would use it for hunting only. So, if you could get one for around $200 like new, what would you do?

Forgive my ignorance, but hunting what?

Hunting rabbit, dove and pheasant. I wouldn't use it as a "high volume" boom stick. I have two other shotguns to hunt with, but have always liked O/Us. Since I don't target shoot with a shotgun, I have a hard time justifying big bucks for an O/U.

stillGHILLIE: Buy it. Value is there and price is better than right. Unit can be used for anything you want to shoot. I could give you a complete history. My only encouragement. BUY IT @$200.00 range

Under value

Closer to me, and I'd ask you for a go at it.
