OK, Darkside, my two cents worth,
I have a Stoeger Condor Competion, and shoot it approx. 100 rds./week for sporting amd skeet. The gun works good, shoots well, patterns OK, but has drawbacks you'll have to live with. The worst thing is the triggers. They are loose, and have a large amount of creep, play, slop, whatever you want to call it. There is no real fix for them,,,you just live with it. The gun is also loose on opening, not tight at all on the hinge pin. Gotta live with it.
Also the choke tubes are of the short version, and don't give the very best of patterns.
Simple do it your self tricks: Take stock off, disconnect auto safety. Next, clean the cosmoline off trigger mecanism, relube with STOS. Put a recoil reducer in stock, go buy some shells with the money you saved, and go shoot. Gun should last long enough for you to decide if you want to get that Citori or not. Good Luck!!!
