RE: looking for a reveiw on the stoeger condor 12 g over and under?
mo trained,
I too have been looking for an inexpensive over/under. Last week I checked out the Stoger Condor at a gun shop in Reno. The stock finishon the 5 or 6Condors they had all lookedpitted because no filler was used to fill the grain in the wood before the finish was applied. When I hefted all of the Condors it became rapidly apparent that they do not have enough drop on the stock for me as my eye was way to high above the line of the rib. I was impressed with the metal and the balance but if you can't hit anything with it because the stock doesn't fit you, the other things don't matter.
I also looked at the Remington 310 O/U made by Bikal for Remington. Same problem although the finish on the stock was a little better.
Next, I would like to check out a Savage O/U or a Mossberg O/U. They are in the same price range as the Stoger and the Remington and I am hoping the stock drop is more to my liking.
I would have bought either the Condor or the Remington if the stock fit me. They may work for you. You just have to try them to see. What ever you do, don't buy one sight unseen off the internet because if the stock doesn't fit you will have to deal with returning it or find somewhere to palm it off.

Ok maybe I'm just in a bad area to buy guns, but the savage is over 1K and I can't find the remington on their site. The ones they do have are over 2K. The Mossberg is a little more (all MSRP here) then the condor.
Like you said though, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't matter.
Any other O/U under 1K???
Edit: Never mind I found them. Helps if you look at ALL the options. LOL

I bought one several years ago (condor), however the more I held & messed w/ it the cheaper it seemed. I shot it a few times & got rid of it. Unless your on a budget I'd say you could do better.
