Nemesis
Russian Grizzly Adams
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.
Its not so much the beretta name, or lack there of, that makes them cheaper to buy, its the fact that materials, energy and labor cost less over there.
They produce some good guns over there, i really like the break action shotgun line...low cost, no BS work horse shotguns...may not be the best lookers, but you will be thankful for that when that after a hard days work.
