So there is this rifle I'm looking at, and you know its a Charles Daly. I know that these guns are made in Yugoslavia, thats a good thing in my book, because I like what I've seen come out of there in the past. I also know Charles Daly is made in more than one place, depending on whether its a pistol or rifle. So my question: Does anyone have one, or had one of recent manufacture, and can you tell me of its quality overall, please be specific. I only have 5 minutes to get an answer, just kidding, I had to go there, but I seriously do need an answer on this, if anyone knows, thanks, Robs. I posted this in the Ask the Experts Forum also, no need to reply to both, thanks guys.

    Well, about the Charles Daly rifles, these are ZASTAVA made guns from Belgrade, I believe.Made by the same folks that brought you the series of Interarms Mark 10 Mausers (both standard and mini length).I have owned a standard mark 10 in .300 win mag and it was a nice gun.I only sold it cause it kicked like a mule(Dirty Harry once said "A man's GOT to know his limitations!")The Mini mark 10.223 I owned is on my list of guns I should have kept.After adjusting the trigger to a sane weight,floating the barrel and glassing in the action,I had a 6.5lb .223 that would shoot INSIDE 3/4 of an inch for three shots with any brand of ammo I tried in it.Given the quality I have seen in the Charles Daly 1911 45's and their semi auto shotguns,I think these new mausers will do very well and I say GO FOR IT!
