My spelling might be wrong ,but has anybody had any experience with a Charles Dailey percussion rifle? Who made them? Are they any good? Any info apreciated.

If you'll search back on this site (perc) a few months it will come up a few times when others asked that I havent seen on for awhile, it is a well made rifle if I remember right. Fred :hatsoff:

IF you didn't find the info, or maybe you have more questions, send me a private message and I can possibly help you--as I have had one of the rifles.

Regards, and shoot safely,

The ones I have seen were made by Investarm, so they are a quality rifle.

:thumbsup: I just putrchased a .45 cal charles daily if you get one as accurate as mine you will not be disapointed it is a little heaver than some of my other guns but that could be the cherry wood stock :winking: and the bore being smaller than my .50 cal's the barrel is heaver but a real tack driver good luck

I have one in a .50 cal Hawken it is a older one, has a 1:60 twist, much heavier than my T/C .54 Renagade.
Mine is a tack driver great shooter. Tried 3F Goex, mine likes 2F Goex..

This is a Hawken style also.Do you know if they were all slow twist?

mine is 1:48. nobody believes me though. :blah: however i hated the original sights. had one of those adjustable rear sights and it was all loose and floppy :cursing: went and got williams truglo sights and :cursing: cant adjust them enough to get on the bullseye. im wanting to just find some appropriate semi buckhorn that is solid and usable. anybody need some truglo sights? :yakyak:

Other than the sights how do you like the gun.

seems ok to me. i dont have a lot of experience in the muzzleloading realm. that is my only bp rifle and the only one i have ever fired. havent been able to get too far on determining the load i like or tuning the accuracy on account of the sight issues. maybe i will be able to get that done before next deer season. its only a year away you know. anyway havent had any trouble from the rifle itself. just me learning and dealing with little things along the way. i will say i like it better than some i looked at prior to purchase.
