I only looked at the Daly. Shipping to and fro was $120. Upon arrival I cleaned the Daly bores- they were very good remarkably so actually. One rather small pit in front of the right chamber and some very minor roughness here and there. If the bores were the only reason you passed on the gun you made a big mistake...the $4500 didn't factor into did it?

To be happy with this gun, I would had to 1) do a butt transplant to fix the check and raise the comb 2) have the barrels done by Dale E. 3) have the action polished and re-engraved and case hardened and 4) start a weight program so I could lift and move the gun...
