RE: Stoeger
I just picked up a Stoeger Uplander SxS from Bass Pro Shops. It's a 12 gauge and not a O/U, however I was impressed with the price. I've read a lot of comments on the Stoeger; many people out there poo-poo them. I believe that most of the comments are born from snobbery. It appears to be well made; although not a piece of artwork, my guns that I choose and acquire are meant to work, not to look pretty.....
From being associated with various military weapons for 21 prime years of my life, I choose funtionality and reliability over appearance.
