Charles Daly SemiAuto Shotgun

[gagspa]

I was planning on picking up a Remington 870 Express at WallyWorld for $238 when I saw a Charles Daly semiauto for $289. Does anyone know anything about this gun? I know that it will not compare to a $2K shotgun, but how does it compare to the 870? Whichever one I buy will get a lot of rounds through it.

i wouldnt buy any firearms from walmart but thats just me, they will carry the cheapest line of rifles they can find

I have the 870 express 12 ga and never had a problem. Had the gun for over 3 years now and still working great and IMHO it's a great gun for the price. Now a semi auto for that price I would not trust.

How does the Remington 870 Express at Walmart vary from any other Remington 870 Express?

Same question about the Stainless Ruger 10-22 they used to sell

It was a great price - but you do have to be careful - walmart has the power to get vendors to build a Walmart special model that will be cheaper - Hopefully the vendor has the integrity to use a new model number

It doesn't. Same gun. I had an 870 Express that I bought at Wal-Mart. Probably put 10k shells through it before I sold it and never had any problems. No personal experience with a Charles Daly.

Isn't he the guy that smokes & drinks too much and plays golf? I don't think I would buy that gun. Probably would end up shooting yourself in the foot. :cool:

i know that they claim to sell weatherby rifles which i love, but there particular brand is called weatherby vangard(cheaper built) which doesnt even compare too a true weatherby rifle

Its a Charles Jammer!I got a bud that has one and spent more time cursing @ it than shooting it.Try a Rem. 1187,its a bit more but worth it.:tu:

Bought my 870 Express at Wal-Mart about 7 years ago and still shoots like new. I actually went out and shot it on Sunday with no trouble.

870's are in almost every police cruiser in America..

But not 870 Expresses. We use 870P's (Police) which have some different parts in them to make them a bit more robust and reliable (read cop proof). Also, south of the mason-Dixon they're known as squad cars, not cruisers. :nono:

you cant go wrong with an 870!

Ditto!!!

Before you buy a Charles Daily, cycle the action by hand --- it feels like there is a 50 pound bag of sand poured into the action. Before you buy a new Charles Daily, buy a used Remington 1100 if you must have an auto.:cool:

If want want a really good pump for the price check out the benneli Nova's. They are around $350 but they are nice!

[TXBLU]

Here's my $0.02 on the Remington 870; I have an 870SP "Special Purpose" 12 Ga. It has a boat load of rounds through it and has never ever ever missed a beat. The action cycles better than when it was new, and it was good then.
I bought it at Outdoor World, so I might have paid a bit too much, but I know I got a high qualilty firearm. :beer:

A Winchester 1300 Defender was my favorite pump shotgun. I had a Mossberg 500 but it was rough compared to the 1300. I hunted with an Ithica model 37 featherlite since I was 12 it was the greatest shotgun I ever hunted with. When I started hunting with the gentlemen I switched to the over under club with the Browning Citori. Of course it is super old school and has fixed chokes.. For urban warfare I prefer the pre-ban HK M1S90.

Never been a scatter-gun kinda' guy.:cool: I do thoroughly enjoy BPS, though. :bows
