RE: To buy or not to buy, that is the ?
Never seen anybody shooting a charles daily. Guess not very popular around here but some of the guns much more expensive than the Browning are very popular and nice to shoot. Forget the 835 unless it is the only one in your budget. Myself, I like the SX2 but a lot of money considering the stuff I take it through. I buy my guns to use and abuse, not an investment but rather a tool. If you can shoot straight anything will work as long as it is designed for shooting steele.
