I just bought a Stoeger Condor 28" 12 guage, much like the Remington Spartan its a foreign manufactured shotgun, though its Brazilian not Russian like the Spartan.
Its extractor only unlike the Spartan's ejector/extractor, but I like to not send my shells flying so I don't mind that.
It takes Mossberg 500/Browning Invector/Winchoke chokes, it came with a IC and a M, I have just ordered a Skeet choke to go with it, I figure I'll be good with one Skeet and one IC for shooting skeet which is 90% of how I intend to use it.
It has an automatic safety reset which I hate however I have acquired very simple instructions for disabling this (if any of you buy a condor let me know and I'll forward them to you).
The gun feels great in my hands, its solid but not to heavy and in general points well, I'll get it out to the skeet range next week hopefully and let you know how she does.
I do have some questions about chokes as this is my first choked shotgun, what chokes would I need for trap should I wish to give that a try? should I get a second skeet choke or is having the first barrel skeet and second IC a good setup? if I wanted to hunt ducks in the future (after I get my skeet scores up for sure, but duck is just about the tastiest thing ever and I'd love to take my own) what chokes would I want for that? General duck hunting info would be great (I know a little... wade through muck, set up decoys duck calls and whatnot, but nothing specific, I'd want an experienced guide with me if I did go out.)
I really like the gun, and every one I have spoken to who owns one does as well, and I figure even if I buy and expensive O/U in the future, I'll probably prefer to drag the $300 one through the muck instead of the $3000 one.
