When it comes to a dedicated range gun, you need reliability and consistency above all else. The Condor Skeet delivers that. The 7.3-pound weight helps manage recoil during long practice sessions, while the 3-inch chamber gives you ammunition flexibility—from light target loads to heavier field loads for cross-training. The price point is a major factor here: at $361.89, this shotgun removes the financial barrier to owning a dedicated clay target tool. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.

Who This Shotgun Is For

This is for the shooter who wants to step up from a pump or semi-auto to the balance and pointability of an over/under specifically for clays, without a custom-shop price tag. It’s ideal for the new skeet shooter, the recreational club member, or the hunter who wants an affordable, durable gun to sharpen their wingshooting skills off-season. It’s also a solid choice for a backup or loaner gun—reliable enough for serious use but priced so you won’t panic if it gets a scratch.

Practical Pros & Cons

Pros: The primary advantage is cost-to-performance. You get a functional O/U with multiple chokes and an automatic ejector system at an exceptional value. The shorter barrels swing quickly, which is a real benefit on the skeet field where transitions are fast. The extended chokes are a practical touch—no more fumbling for a choke key in your pocket between stations. The walnut stock provides a solid, traditional feel that synthetic stocks often lack.

Cons: This is an entry-level gun. The action may feel a bit stiff initially compared to higher-end models, and the finish, while durable, is utilitarian. The 22-inch barrel, while great for skeet, might feel too short for some shooters on a sporting clays course with longer shots—that’s where swapping to the Full or Improved Modified choke becomes critical. It’s not a Beretta or Browning in terms of refined fit, but it doesn’t pretend to be. Look, for the price, you’re getting a tool that does the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this shotgun suitable for hunting, or just clays?

A: While designed for skeet, it’s perfectly capable for certain hunting scenarios. With the included choke set, you could effectively hunt upland birds in thick cover or even turkeys with the right load and full choke. The 22-inch barrel makes it very maneuverable in a blind or brush. However, its shorter overall length and lighter weight may not be ideal for sustained waterfowl hunting or long-range pass shooting where a longer barrel is preferred.

Q: What ammunition should I use with it?

A: It has a 3-inch chamber, so it safely fires 2 3/4″ and 3″ magnum 12-gauge shells. For skeet and most target practice, standard 2 3/4″ target loads (typically 7.5, 8, or 9 shot) are ideal and will be the most economical. Break it in with a few boxes of standard velocity loads. Always consult your manual, but the design is compatible with standard-pressure ammunition from brands like Federal, Winchester, and Fiocchi.

Q: Does it come with a case?

A: Stoeger typically ships the Condor series in a simple, functional cardboard box with foam inserts. It’s not a hard or soft travel case. You will need to invest in a separate gun case for transport to and from the range—a necessary consideration for any firearm purchase. A standard 42-inch takedown case will accommodate it perfectly.
