Do not buy Stoeger and expect service

[209jones]

So, who made the shotgun? Was it Benelli or some outfit in Turkey?

Stoeger is the brand name, along with it being the name of the distributor in Cda for Beretta Inc, and the Stoeger branded guns, are made in Turkey.

Very unfortunate story to share - but feel I need to as a warning to all potential Stoeger purchasers.

Two years ago I purchased a stoeger side by side from P and D in Edmonton. My bad for not examining better, however once I got home, I discovered two hairline cracks in the stock. After shooting/hunting with it a bit it they have opened up pretty badly.

For two years now I have had nothing but a run around from Stoeger Canada related to getting a new stock sent. My request has been very simple- Just let me buy a new stock- no warranty process demanded, no drama, not asking for a free replacement, I've got the money, simply sell and send me a new stock.

Nope- they can't do that - I've demonstrated proof of purchase, and all they have done is move the goal posts with each email I've sent as to why they simply can't sell/send me a new stock.

Totally regret having purchased this brand- Beware.

I had a few sxs stoegers, poorly made cheap guns

I feel your pain, but with a different manufacturer. Howa.... it had a bad barrel from factory & been trying to get a rifle replacement for nine months already, dang frustrating to say the least. Dealers can't, or won't do anything for you so your left to the mercy of the importer & Legacy in the US.

just an FYI - I'll have a Howa for sale if or when it ever arrives

I was lucky I had good luck with Howa and way better luck with Weatherby

I actually just contacted them a couple days ago and he said it just arrived there. So if anyone is intrested in a brand new Howa 1500 mini carbon stalker in 22ARC, it's up for sale. New in box.
