Condor Supreme 20ga. I recently bought one (first shotgun) and have shot maybe 20 skeet sessions with it (500 rounds). No problems with it. I am no expert by any means but I think it is worth the money. I am sure that if I continue skeet, I will want to move up. But as far as O/U's go...

LOL - I like that!

I wonder about that POA/POI thing as well. Patterning is done on a 30" circle, but barrels on a SxS are offset less than 1".

After handling both the Condor (O/U) and Upland (SxS) offered by Stoeger/IGA, I decided that the SxS Upland felt better - more comfortable to hold and shoulder. After visiting the local skeet range I bought the Condor based on lots of advice, and the fact that at least half the shooters used O/U...

O/U vs SxS I did visit the local skeet club and a kind fellow let me use his 20ga. O/U Winchester. First I shot 5/25, then 15/25. Nice gun. No one at the club had a SxS. With the Stoegers, the SxS just felt more natural than the O/U. It is also a little heavier to soak up some recoil. The...

I imagine this subject has been flogged to death, but this will be my first shotgun (65th birthday present) and my choice has come down to one of the two. It will be a Stoeger Condor or Upland in 20ga. Are there any huge drawbacks with one over the other? Is one more difficult to be proficient...

All good info so far, thanks for the help. The 12 guage that beat me up was a friend's Remington Wingmaster. He has a clay pidgeon slinger and I believe he had brought some form of target load shells. Interesting about the price of 410 ammo. Never would have occurred to me. As to the...

Hi - I'm a new member and need some help choosing a shotgun. Here's what I know so far - 1) I don't want a 12 guage (40 rounds left me sore and badly bruised). 2) I am quite sure my small size (and age 64) requires a "youth" model as both a Rem. 870 and a Moss. 500 felt too long. A 20 guage...
