Not going to debate the pros and cons of which semi auto is better, I have 2 Brownings , a Rem. and a lowly Charles Daley. The CD was bought as a knock about, get in to the briars kind of gun. It is used in he foulest weather for fowl and bunnies. Butt ugly black stock, lightweight, shoots to POA, uses Rem. tubes and has never failed to work. Local sportsmans organization bought 5 Youth Models hundreds of rounds shot through them and no problems. My son has one, bought when I got mine for the same purpose. These 7 CDs that I can speak , have been good shotguns and work fine.
