Weighing in at roughly 6.2 pounds, this Condor moves with you, not against you. That’s a critical data point when you’re covering miles of Missouri CRP or navigating a wooded creek bottom—every ounce matters by the end of the day. The chrome-lined bores are a practical touch, shrugging off fouling and moisture. Here’s the thing—this isn’t a safe queen; it’s a tool designed to be carried, used, and relied upon. The manual extractors are simple and positive, a direct, mechanical system that tells you clearly when the shells are ready to be removed. It’s a straightforward design that works, season after season.

Who This Shotgun Is For

This Condor is built for the upland hunter who values simplicity and speed over ornate decoration. It’s for the hunter pursuing quail, woodcock, or early-season doves where a light, fast-pointing shotgun is a real advantage. It’s also an excellent choice for a younger or newer shooter being introduced to wing-shooting, thanks to the manageable 28-gauge recoil. If your priority is a dependable, field-ready over-under that won’t break the bank, this model fits the bill. At $356.16, it represents a significant value in a functional hunting shotgun, available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.

Pros & Cons

Pros: The primary advantage is its light weight and quick handling—you won’t get fatigued carrying it. The 28-gauge offers effective patterning for small game with notably less kick than a 20 or 12-gauge. The satin walnut stock provides a good grip and resists slipping in wet conditions. The price point is accessible for a dedicated hunting over-under. It’s a simple, robust design with no gunsmithing required to get it into the field.

Cons: As an entry-level over-under, the action may feel a bit stiff initially compared to higher-end models—it will smooth with use. The manual extractors, while reliable, require you to physically pull spent shells instead of the automatic ejection found on more expensive guns. Some shooters might prefer a longer barrel for certain clay target games, but the 26-inch length is ideal for its intended brushy, upland role.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What chokes are included with the Stoeger Condor Field?

A: It comes with two choke tubes: Improved Cylinder (IC) and Modified (M). This gives you a solid spread for close-flushing birds and a tighter pattern for longer shots, covering most upland scenarios. They use the Beretta/Benelli Mobilchoke threading pattern, so aftermarket options are widely available.

Q: Is the 28-gauge powerful enough for hunting?

A: Absolutely. Within its effective range—which is plenty for quail, dove, and woodcock—the 28-gauge is highly effective. It uses a smaller shot payload, which translates to less recoil and faster follow-up shots. It’s a classic gauge known for its efficiency and shot placement over brute force.

Q: Can this shotgun be used for clays?

A: Yes, it can be used for informal skeet or sporting clays, especially with the included chokes. Its light weight and fast swing are assets on close-to-medium presentations. Remember, FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, so plan accordingly when ordering. For dedicated, high-volume clay shooting, a heavier gun might be preferable, but for practice or casual rounds, the Condor Field handles it well.
