My son has a Stoeger Condor that shoots surprisingly well.

I acquired one for my stepson to try trap shooting and possibly join the school team a few years ago.....

I will NEVER own another..... JUNK and you can tell, cheaply made..... both barrels shot at the same time quite often.

Did you clean the action thuroghly?  I have seen where there is alot of cosmoline packed into the action of Stogers, causing double fires in the sxs and o/u guns.  a good cleaning of the action should stop that.

I  have seen two Fausti  o/u's set up for turkey hunting  , and they were very nice -one was set up with extended turkey chokes - light and powerful  - nice thing about a double is that is a much more compact gun than a repeating gun with a similar barrel length

One thing for consideration is the POI on those if you have a chance to test one out before purchasing make sure both the barrels shoot the same POI not one high 4 inches and the other 8 inches to the left kinda thing -

I think the market for a high performance over and under for less than $700 is there - A company needs to get something that points good - with a synthetic receiver like a Super Nova , with 2 good low profile barrels with a common choke system and sell a million of them

I don't doubt the demand is there for a good $700 double. It's just that nobody can make one at that price, evidenced by the fact that nobody does.

Turkey chokes exaggerate the POI problem on a double, enough so that I'd just get a good pump and be done with it.

I ended up getting the mossberg silver reserve. Took it out this evening to shoot some blue rock. I must say that all bs aside this gun points and shoots very well. It fits me good and swings like a champ. I only went through 100 shells, but my first impression is a great one. :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
