*SOLD* Stoeger Condor I 28 Ga Blue 26" *BEAUTIFUL GRADE-A AMERICAN WALNUT STOCK*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Stoeger Condor I, chambered in 28 gauge with 2¾" chambers, is a classic over/under shotgun designed for reliability and accessibility at an affordable price. This particular model features 26" vent ribbed barrels, finished in a deep blued steel, and equipped with a Modified choke in the top barrel and a Cylinder choke in the bottom. The choke configuration makes it ideal for close to mid-range shooting scenarios, such as upland bird hunting or skeet shooting, where quick follow-up shots with varied spread are valuable. The gold bead front sight atop the ribbed barrel provides a simple but effective aiming reference, aiding instinctive point shooting in the field.
 
Aesthetically, the Condor I embraces traditional styling with its checkered walnut stock and forearm, offering a comfortable and secure hold. The walnut furniture is finished in a satin sheen, giving it a refined, understated look despite its budget-friendly price point. Internally, the shotgun uses a single, non-selective mechanical trigger, meaning the bottom barrel fires first, followed by the top—regardless of whether the first shot cycles properly. This mechanical setup is often praised for its reliability, especially in lower-cost models that avoid recoil-dependent systems. The break-action design is simple and durable, and while it lacks premium features like ejectors or a barrel selector, the Condor I delivers dependable performance. With standard factory markings and a focus on function over flash, this shotgun offers an excellent entry point for shooters seeking a lightweight, versatile over/under—especially in the smooth-shooting and often underrated 28-gauge configuration.
