Several months ago there was some dicsussion about Charles Daley shotguns, specifically the quality and reliabilty of Charles Daley shotguns. As I recall, most of the comments were very posititve. Some said that something on the shotgun would break within a couple thousand rounds, that he should' ve saved his money up and bought a good shotgun. I posted that I would be keeping track of the number of rounds thru that shotgun and keep this forumm informed.

The situation is, I have a friend who had bought a 12ga Superior or Supreme Hunter back in January or February. He has been shooting a case of shells and clay birds every other weekend since he bought it. Since he bought it, he has ran 14+ cases of shells, everything from 2.75" light trap loads to 3" #4 buck, and has not had a single malfunction or breakage.

I was so impressed with his Charles Daley, that I bought a 20ga Field Hunter a month after he bought his. I have just as many rounds through my 20ga as he has thru his 12ga. I had one stove pipe jam last week, while dove hunting, tha is the only malfunction I have had, and I guess it is due to the fact that I have about 3,000 rounds thru it and I haven' t cleaned it yet. That gun is nasty, but it still ejects empty hulls 20' .

For $300 shotguns they are not a bad deal. So far I am satisfied with Charles Daley shotguns, Yes, you can get better shotguns, but you will have to pay alot more than $300 for them.
