I picked up a Cortona Grande and only shoot Skeet and Trap with it. They are built by FAIR and seem to hold up to the rigors of shooting clays. I have only had mine for two months so Ive only put about 2000 rounds through it but so far I am very happy with quality, fit and the way it shoots.

Default shotguns

Assuming they have interchangeable chokes, they will be fine for shooting steel.

Hoping someone on here can answer this question as well. I have a Rem 870- Super Mag express (can shoot up to 3.5" shells) I know the barrel has a modified choke and is quite long. Can I shoot 3/0 buck shot out of this barrel? Also what about riffled slugs?

The mod choke should work, but you would likely do better with a skeet or imp/cyl choke.
To the OP, the Cortona is a very good gun , equal to the FAIR LX600.
Steel is okay with all the FAIR shotguns.
it is likely a bit heavier than the Yildiz, so would be better suited to clay shooting.
