Charles Daly Mauser.

PSLMAN · 03-21-2009, 09:18 AM

I came across a C.D. Mauser in .30-06 in a gun shop the other day. It's a field grade in a black synthetic stock and was priced at $460.

It's a new rifle they have had for a while and I liked the looks of it. The bolt seemed a little stiff when I opened it but would probably smooth out with use.

Anyone have any experience or opinions?

I don't have any experience but I've heard they are good
and solid. Most anything with a Mauser type action is good.

name on a wide range of outdoor gear along with a picture of a tanned, silver haired, grandfatherly type man supposedly Charles Daly.

I have seen the Charles Daly name come and go from the marketplace several times in my lifetime on products ranging from higher quality to not so high quality.

I do not know at present who either ownes or licenses the Charles Daly name.

Pretty much I feel it is up to the buyer to decide if the product bearing the Charles Daly name is good or not. Personally, I cannot state I feel the name has any particular value.

^ I recently found out that KBI has purchased the Charles Daly name.

I will have to keep an eye on this post as I picked up a NIB CD chambered in 26-06 today. I have to figure out which bases to use, mount a scope and test it out.

I'm told the C.D Mausers are built on Yugo actions. I should probably get it because I need a good hunting rifle.

Hi All:
Found this info while chasing a CD model 5 .22 by Zastava awhile back. I believe Zastava, Serbia was also where they mfg'd the Yugo. Pretty little rifle tho', but couldn't get Gander to negotiate.

I aquired the C.D. mauser w/double triggers inn 30-06, am having trouble finding the right base's, tried leupolds one pc didn't fit, tried leupold two pc didn't fit, any help with specfic # should would be appreciated, I have replaced the stock w/boyds thumbhole laminated, bedded and floated the barrel. really looks good.

in actuality there is no such thing as a Charles Daly anything. I will explain. When I was young Sears owned the name and put it on a wide variety of sporting goods. They even had a model (older, tanned, silver haired guy) supposedly signifying wisdom, experience, and approval for the Sears products. They wanted the customers to believe this was Charles Daly.

In my lifetime the Charles Daly name has come and gone from the marketplace several times being placed on this or that item of sometimes great quality and sometimes not so great quality.

Actually, it is pretty much up to the buyer to do the research and learn about the product upon which appears the Charles Daly name.

If you are not comfortable with the product then do not buy it.

Are you trying standard Mauser Mauser bases?A standard Mauser base is .60"lower on the back ring than on the front. ,,sam.
