Charles Daly / Miroku over/under shotguns are very good shooters, if properly maintained. The V-Spring models are quicker/better over the coil spring models. However, the down side of the V-Spring models are the fact that the V-Springs, by there design are more prone to breaking, as they get older. The highest failure rate are the hammer springs, (where even if only one breaks, you are better served replacing them both), followed by the top lever spring. Always use wire cut, tempered springs, not springs that are simply bent into shape.
