Stoeger Shotguns?

[fabsroman]

A friend of mine bought a Stoeger because he couldn't afford a Browning or Beretta at the time. He was an awesome shot with his Remington 1100, but he couldn't hit the broad side of the barn. One day, we were out in a field throwing clays for one another, and he could barely hit anything with his new o/u, but he was dead on with his 1100. So, we decided to check the point of impact. The point of impact was about a foot higher than where he was aiming, and this wasn't a trap gun. This was 9 years ago and he ended up getting rid of it after using it for a year. He bought a Browning GTI after that, only to have the GTI rust up in its case one summer. Told him he should have bought a Beretta. LOL

In 9 years, their guns might have improved, but how much better can they be for $450?
