Charles Daly is a trade name, not a manufacturer. They do not make anything. I am pretty sure that they are no longer importing any rifles( may be it is just the 22's). I believe I would go with the Savage for that reason alone. I have some older CD shotguns and ML's. When I bought them they had a lifetime warranty. I bet they do not even know who made some of these guns 30 years ago. The trade name has been sold a few times. Tom.
