Bought a budget O/U
I borrowed a Stoeger Condor O/U a few weeks back and shot some of my best rounds of skeet with it. Today I found one in a pawn shop in my wife's hometown while we were visiting her father. It's cheap enough I don't have to worry about dings but hopefully reliable enough for the three rounds per week I generally shoot.

I bought one of those for my ex wife. She is a whiz with it.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Re: Bought a budget O/U
Good looking shotgun!
Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Re: Bought a budget O/U
I like these. I have been looking at their side x side coach gun for awhile now.
Re: Bought a budget O/U
I took it all apart, cleaned it up and converted the auto safety to a manual. There is no point in an automatic safety on a skeet field and sometimes it can be very annoying as you watch the skeet fly away because you forgot to take the damn thing off!
Tomorrow it will kill skeet.

Condors are good guns. I'd have deactivated the auto safety on it also, I hate those infernal things!

Murphy was an optimist.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an
invasion, butcher a hog, design a building, conn a ship, write a
sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the
dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve an
equation, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Re: Bought a budget O/U
Well, the gun shot flawlessly, it felt great, it certainly wasn't its fault I couldn't hit shit tonight! 
The point of aim is very different from my BPS, it has an angled rib, the Stoeger rib is parallel to the barrel. I was shooting under artifical light and I never saw the wad fly tonight so I could never figure out where I was shooting. I'm going out with a buddy in daylight later this week so we can figure out where this thing shoots and I can start breaking clays with it!
