Frequently Asked Questions
What choke tubes are compatible with the Charles Daly 202?
The Charles Daly 202 uses Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke threads, one of the most widely available choke standards on the market. This means you can use a broad selection of aftermarket chokes from brands like Kicks, Carlson's, and Patternmaster, as well as standard Beretta and Benelli-branded chokes, giving you excellent flexibility for different shooting situations.
Is the Charles Daly 202 suitable for steel shot and waterfowl hunting?
The 202's 3-inch chamber can handle many steel shot loads commonly used for waterfowl, but you should always use a choke rated for steel shot — typically Improved Cylinder or Modified at most. Avoid using tight chokes (Full or Extra Full) with steel shot, as this can damage the choke tubes or barrel. Always verify with the manufacturer's guidance before using non-toxic shot.
How does the mechanical reset trigger differ from an inertia trigger?
The single-selective trigger with mechanical reset on the Charles Daly 202 resets mechanically rather than relying on recoil to cycle the selector between barrels. This design is more reliable with lighter target loads that may not generate enough recoil to activate an inertia-based system, making it a smart choice for clay target shooters using low-brass competition ammunition.
