Last Saturday I took a chance and bought a Charles Daly 20ga. automatic at Wally's for $299.
This gun is VERY lightweight and handles like a dream. I looked on their web site and it says that the automatics use the Rem-choke system----so if I ever happen to lose one of the chokes, I can replace it easily.
On Sunday I took it out and shot is with an assortment of old shells I had laying around----using the IC choke, I shot birdshot--buckshot and slugs---there were no jams or failures to eject---it hit where I pointed it and ran pretty much like clockwork.
The only annoying little thing about the gun is that you have to push the bolt-release button to put shells in the magazine------rather then just shoving em in like most guns.
I only put about 2 boxes of shells through this gun---so i can't speak about long-term durability yet.
So far, I feel like I got one hell of a deal with this gun----a semi-auto with 3 choke tubes + wrench --an extra O-ring----and sling studs all for $299-----oh ya--a cable lock too.
Ya--it's a little on the ugly side but that's the beauty of it too. Having a gun you can really use and not have to baby so you don't scratch the finish.
Only time will tell---but right now I'm very happy with it.
