RE: Advise on semi-auto shotguns
Haven't seen or heard much about the Charles Daly stuff. Maybe goor or maybe bad. I don't thinki'd cheap out though and go there. You get what you pay for and semi-auto shotguns aren't an exception. Asa minimum, I'd start with an 1100. Personally, I prefer Benelli.
Maybe try some searches on the various forums.

RE: Advise on semi-auto shotguns
well if your on a budget go with a winchester model 1400 but i think they are only 2 3/4 chamberd, they are good guns though from what i have heard from people and my uncle he has one too. also mossberg makes a good semiauto. Remington does too but i have read the older ones jam up sometimes. but all good guns.

RE: Advise on semi-auto shotguns
I have an older 1100 and one of the first 1187 special purpose deer guns.
Both shoot very nice and have no problems jamming.
As with anything keep it clean and lubricated. I will leave it at that [8D]

You seem to read a lot of stuff. If you read on, you may find for sure that the older Remingtons acctually tend to jam less than the newer ones do. And I didn't read that... I have experienced it.. and continue to experience it.
Keep in mind too that Winchester doesn't make the 1400 anymore. Mossberg makes a decent semi-auto.. I wouldn't call it "good".

If you are on a budget I would skip over the Charles Daly. In my honest opinion it feels pretty flimsy, I have a buddy that owns one that likes it; then again he doesn't hunt but once a year. To stay on budget the Stoeger M2000 might be what you are looking for. It is based on the inertia system that Benneli uses.

I am not sure about the Charles Daily, but my brother in law has a 1100, andmynephewhas an olderRemington Mohawk semi-auto, and both jam frequently.
I don't know anything about the newer Remingtons, so I will leave it at that.
