I own one. A stoeger cougar 8040 . The company is owned by beretta and was concieved to keep berettas old models in production. They even went so far as to ship the machines and tooling to turkey to produce them. It is a beretta in every way but the name. The parts are interchangeable as well. If you watch a beretta review it can be taken that the same is true for stoegers.
Of course the beretta name garners more money for the same gun and now more so that beretta no longer makes them but otherwise are identical.
I like mine. Never had a issue with it in the last 2 years I have owned it.

I have a 3500 for waterfowl. Never missed a beat, have also taken it to shoot clays just to see if it would cycle light target loads and not an issue. I did clean when first purchased to get all of the packing grease off and proper lube on. The stock did come loose after a punishing goose hunt but placed a little loctite on the bolt and has not happened again.

I've owned two Stoeger sibe-by-sides; the Uplander and, now, the Coach Gun. Bot are quality products, easy to slick up. I've had no issues and expect none.
Stoeger is to Benelli as Chevy is to Cadillac.

Great feedback... keep it coming. Footnote ... the salesman told me Stoeger was a Benelli affiliate...?
How bout that safety action lever? Is it removable?

I have a Stoeger Coach Gun. I like it a lot.
My Condor does everything asked.
I've been looking for a Condor and have yet to hear anything negative. Can't seem to locate one locally though.

I have a Cougar 9mm and my brother has an M3500. Both have several thousand rounds through them without a single issue. Excellent quality and reliability.
I paid $400 for my Condor 12ga and take it trap shooting all the time. Never had a problem. I've only put 700 rounds through it though.

I have one and after a few thousand shells I started havering issue with the top barrel not fireing. My friend bought one around the same time as me and has not had an issue.

My only personal experience was trying to look at a new O/U but couldn't get the action open, nor could the store rep. Have had much counsel that they often have to be returned to the factory a time or two to fix things. But I've also talked to people who have used them heavily at the range with never any problem. I've concluded it depends on the luck of the draw.

Stoeger actually still produces barrels for some lower-end Beretta guns such as the 3901 and A300. Fit and finish isn't as nice as the Italian stuff, but still good quality.

My wife has a Stoegor Condor in 20ga as her skeet gun. She's still very new to the world of shooting but having a reliable, inexpensive O/U has made her very enthusiastic about shooting. Probably about 500rds through it in the 8mos she's had it and no problems yet.
