Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953
Secure Transactions provided with 
There is something refreshing about a plain old single shot, and the Charles Daly 101 keeps that tradition alive without feeling cheap about it. This one comes chambered in 20 gauge with a 26 inch blued barrel, a 3 inch chamber that also runs 2-3/4 inch shells, and synthetic furniture wrapped in woodland camo. At right around 5 pounds, it is the kind of gun you can sling over your shoulder at dawn and forget you are carrying by lunch. That light weight, paired with the softer-recoiling 20 gauge, is exactly why so many folks pick the 101 as a first shotgun for a young hunter or a beat-around truck gun.
The break action design is about as simple as shotguns get. Pop the lever, drop in a shell, close it up, and you are ready. There is a manual safety, an extractor to lift spent hulls for easy removal, and a brass bead up front that gets the job done on flushing birds, squirrels, rabbits, and clays alike. The receiver and barrel wear a blued steel finish, and the stock includes a rubber recoil pad plus sling studs, a nice touch on a gun built for covering ground.
Unlike a lot of budget single shots with fixed chokes, the 101 uses Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke threads and ships with a Modified tube installed. That means you can screw in a Full for turkey season, an Improved Cylinder for close-flushing grouse, or whatever else the situation calls for, and Mobil pattern tubes are easy to find just about anywhere.
A single shot forces good habits. You make the first shot count, and there is real value in that, especially for someone learning the ropes. Simple to clean, simple to operate, light enough for anybody in the family, and camouflaged for the woods. The Charles Daly 101 is proof you do not need to complicate a shotgun to end up with a genuinely useful one.
Yes. The 101 has a 3 inch chamber, so it handles both 3 inch magnum loads and standard 2-3/4 inch 20 gauge shells. That covers everything from light target loads to heavier hunting loads without any issue.
This model is threaded for Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern chokes and comes with a Modified tube already installed. Mobil is one of the most common choke systems out there, so aftermarket tubes in Full, Improved Cylinder, and specialty turkey constrictions are widely available and affordable.
It is a popular pick for exactly that. The single shot break action is simple and easy to learn, the 20 gauge keeps recoil manageable, and at about 5 pounds it is easy for smaller-framed folks to carry and handle. Loading one shell at a time also teaches patience and shot discipline.
No, it uses an extractor rather than an ejector. When you break the action open, the extractor lifts the spent hull partway out of the chamber so you can pull it free by hand. It is a simple setup that also makes it easy to keep track of your empties in the field.
