Re: charles daly
Great guns. I decided to buy one for my wife after my friend bought one for his daughter for skeet shooting. I will probably buy one for myself. Darn soft shooting gun. No problems yet.

Re: charles daly
Not a big fan, friend has a 12 ga. Daily traded it to his dad for his old 870.When I shot his I did not like it.I would save a little more money if going not spend a lot of money and buy a Mossberg 935 or 9200 much better guns IMO, heck might be the same price been awhile since I looked at them,I would even opt for a 870 instead of a Daily.

Re: charles daly
I bought a 20, field grade (I think) for my son. We have only put 300 rounds through it but there have been no problems at all. Light shooting recoil and shoots where you point it. Swings pretty easily for me and my 16 yr old doesn't seem to have any problems that wouldn't go away with more practice. Easy to dissasemble for cleaning which is a very thorough affair at our house. There is an O-ring that you get an extra one of when you get the gun that goes around the gas tube, cant think of the real name, and another part of that mechanism is made of teflon. I can see where an improperly or well shot gun would have problems eventually. I was thinking of a youth stock once and they offered one for 69.00. He grew into the gun before I bought it. Very light. Came with 3 chokes which I believe are remington chokes but don't quote me on that. I bought it beause the price was right and was not sure my son would hang in there when it came to shooting. Wound up being a pretty darn good gun. I am comparing them to my 12's and have never owned another 20 to compare that to. I shoot a Mossberg, a Beretta and a Zoli. It is a plane jane functional gun.

I use the 20 ga. semi-auto synthetic for all my training and NSTRA. I would recommend this gun for anybody esp. smaller framed shooters. I have two Berettas and one Franchi Veloce 20ga. O/U. The Daly is just as comfortable to shoot and handle as those high dollar guns.

Re: charles daly
For the money they cant be beat I shoot a 12 GA synthetic, its light fits me very well and in turn I shoot it very well. I carry it when hunting heavy cover that I dont want to drag my Citiori through, though many times I find myself carrying it because I like it so much.
On a side note I bought mine from my brother because he didnt like the way it felt, or fit him.
I have put a TON of heavy loads through it, I finally had a malfunction last year I was south of Amarillo, and the cocking handle broke, this also could have been due to rough handling? Overall I love the gun.

Re: charles daly
Bought one from Wal-Mart and lasted me a good 5 years before it broke. Works very well and light. Just don't plan on it lasting forever. Finally got a Berreta Extrema II as a replacement two years ago. If you are not picky about guns as long as it shoot then definitely buy it.
