I've only put 75 shells through mine so far but it seems quite functional for the price(at least to this point). No, it's not a Browning/Beretta/Benelli by any stretch but I could get 2 or 3 of 'em for that price. One of these days, I'll get a nice 12GA O/U but until then, she'll just have to get me by.
It would be OK to hunt with and the use on a very limited basis for targets, but it will not hold up to extended use.
I have been using one for teaching and works well. As others have noted, it is not a Beretta or Benelli, but it does get the job done!

I don't know how you guys put 'em through extended use. I did one round of sporting clays with mine(first time I ever fired the Condor or ANY O/U and first time ever for sporting clays) and my shoulder was DONE. I'd only broken 18/50 and for two weeks thereafter, my shoulder area went from purple to black to raspberry to brown to yellow. One station of warm-up and one round and though I'd had a Hell of a lot of fun, I certainly paid my dues.
No, they are not real fun to shoot. You get what you pay for.

The fit and finish is what you would expect for the price, but mine goes bang everytime I ask it to.
I've put 300rds through mine at PG trap and skeet. I can't wait to start going again soon

I've had mine for a few years. Put about 600 rounds through it. Never had a problem. The only thing I do not like is the trigger but then again I didn't pay 1k-3k for it. Recoil I felt was as of a typical 12gauge.

I have around 2000 shells out of mine. No real issues but I have noticed alot of wear on the extractors.
Try 1000 rounds a week and see how long it lasts.
It won't. But, It's a $349 dollar gun, when it craps out, they can replace it for 1/10th of a real sporting gun.

What you call a real sporting gun doesn't need to be replaced.

I'm sure if he had the time and money to blow through 1k rounds a week he wouldn't be asking about a budget gun....
I thought about that yesterday. That's like buying a new Condor every two weeks and having money left over lol.

Hell Yeah!
No matter who gives you their opinion their either gonna like it or not, high dollar gun guys will trash it the same way the Les Baer Kimber Colt Springfield fanboys trash Rock Island .45's. If it works for you and your budget great, I'm sure your not going to put 500-1000 rounds through it a week, so therefore it will do fine. I bought a Stoeger Condor Competition model in 20 ga and love it for an O/U, I have always shot Remington's but I have no problem with this Stoeger. Buy it if you don't like put it on the classifieds and someone else will buy it.
