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.

I had a few sxs stoegers, poorly made cheap guns
unfortunately- I now agree with this statement. and the gong show continues...
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 WeatherbyI feel your pain, but with a different manufacturer.

Have you tried Contacting Calgary Shooting center they handle the Howa warranties. They Might have a barrel in stock to have yours redoneI feel your pain, but with a different manufacturer.

I have similar experience. Brought a Franchi over under and forearm cracked after a year. Franchi has 7 year warranty. After contacting their service department, I sent my shotgun to Stoeger Canada for warranty service in last December. I only got 1 email from them saying the part is on back order. And in the past 3 months, I tried to follow up with them by email, phones to their call centre and the warranty manager extension - 0 response in 3 months.
I wonder if customers with similar experience can do something like small claim sue to the company or emailing head quarter of Beretta group? What Stoeger Canada is doing here damaged the brand image for sure. I will put a second thought before buying any firearms under the group.

Years back they were bringing in Benelli SBE's from the US with a sheet in the box with a 10yr warranty, they would not honor it in Cda, remember someone complaining about that, believe it was on CGN.. Tikka TAC A1 came with a mail-in spare mag offer, only good in US apparently, in the US, some countries had two in the box, Cda only got the one. They're a strange outfit in some regards.
Stoeger is a company that can pass itself off as American while only selling Turkish products. They are owned by Benelli/beretta (or were) as a way to market a cheaper option to consumers, essentially Benelli rebranding Turkish Benelli clones, selling them under a recognizable brand name, then treating the owners like owners of Turkish Benelli clones. Iām sure there are stoegers out there that run but if itās the same gun why not just buy the āsulun ultra tacticalā or whatever knowing thereās going to be no aftermarket support either way.
Are you really that surprised? Why would a dealer take your ####ty gun (that's been shot) and give you a brand new one? That's an issue between you and the warranty company.I feel your pain, but with a different manufacturer.

Sorry to hear your troubles OP, hope you can get it straightened out.
Can't speak on warranty service, but I can speak on their customer service overall which has been great for me.
The MIL/LEO division graciously ordered me suppressor height sights from the USA when they were not even available to TGP in Canada, as well as recently ordering me an optic plate from BEURO that I am waiting on.

Seriously ! Waiting 3 years for a replacement stock on a new firearm ? WTF ? please tEll us the storey
Actually, I had an issue with a Remington many years ago and the Remington Customer Service Rep said that the retailer I bought it from should have offered me a refund/return as the gun was but a few weeks old.
It was only after I told her I was in Canada that she shifted and offered up the Authorized Warranty Depot of Reliable Gun and Tackle and that should I have any issues what so ever that they should called Remington directly.
Suffice to say Dave took very good care of my gun and I was back chasing pheasants within the same week,
Of course times are different today .....
No sh1t.... I meant dealing with them directly, in person at their Oshawa location or purchasing their brand. When I have issues with the brands they represent, I deal with the manufacturer. Besides taking your money, Stoeger is a complete waste of time.
