Kyhillbilly74,

Check out this forum link on the firearms review forum. "Charles Daly Shotguns Revisited" http://forum.hunting.net/asppg/tm.asp?m=367457

Basically I ordered one, a 20 ga Field Hunter model, about a year & a half ago for myself, after a buddy bought one 12 Supreme (?) Hunter. Well at first I was leary of them because he only paid about $340 for it, but it was a nice looking shotgun, with good figured wood, nice blueing, decent wood to metal fit, but the recoil pad could have been fitted better. Anyway, after he had shot up a half dozen cases of shells, without any jams or malfunctions, I got to thinking to myself, these might not be bad little shotguns after all.

Anyway, I have shot the livid crap out my 20ga in the past year & half. I have only had two stove pipe jams, probably due to me not cleaning it but ever 1,000 rounds or so. Man that thing ejects the shell liek an AK-47!! It throws empty hulls 30 feet . Talk about positive ejection.
