Charles Daily or Tristar Auto 3 1/2 Mag shotguns?

Does anyone own either one of these guns in the automatic 3 1/2 magnum? Do you like them and do they seem to hold up? I am looking at either one in camo for the price and the fact they both take 3 1/2 mags. The Stoeger is an option and nice but only shoots 3in.

Thg Charles Daly name has come and gone on a variety of guns and sporting goods (primarily fishing equipment) since at least the 1960's. I am attempting to find who ownes the name at present, who manufactures under the name at present, and who imports under the name at present. Note the Charles Daly name has been applied to a wide variety of quality so as such it has no meaning.

A friend of mine had a CD we only hunted together one year and then drifted apart. It held up that first year alright but thats all I can tell you. Im not going to say all tri-stars are junk, but Ive known 2 people to have diffrent O/U models and both had to send it back them them at least twice.

Ive heard dont know for sure that the Stoger has alot of similaritys of a Benelli SBE. Cant swear to it but I beleive that might be your best option. Also how much is the price diffrence between those guns and a Mossberg 930?
