Pump shotguns have guarded doorways and truck cabs for over a century, and the Charles Daly 301 Tactical carries that torch without asking much of your wallet. This 12 gauge runs a 3 inch chamber, feeds from a 5+1 magazine tube, and pairs a steel 18.5 inch barrel with a lightweight aluminum receiver. Total weight lands around 6.8 pounds with a 40.25 inch overall length, so it swings quick in tight hallways and stows without a fight.
A lot of budget pump guns give you a bead and call it a day. The 301 goes further with a fiber optic front sight and a ghost ring rear sitting just ahead of a receiver-mounted Picatinny rail. That combo is fast up close, precise enough for slugs at distance, and the rail gives you a home for a red dot if that's more your speed. The barrel wears a classic heat shield, which looks the part and keeps your support hand away from hot steel during longer range sessions.
Here's the sleeper feature: the barrel is threaded for Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke tubes, and Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full tubes all come in the box. Most defensive shotguns are stuck with a fixed cylinder bore. This one can tighten up for turkey season, stretch patterns for clays, or run wide open for buckshot duty. One gun, a lot of jobs.
The Flat Dark Earth synthetic stock and forend shrug off weather and rough handling, the fixed pistol grip gives you solid control during pump strokes, and sling attachment points on the stock and forend make it easy to set up for carry. Add auto ejection, a single trigger, and a manual thumb safety, and you've got a straightforward workhorse that covers home defense, range days, and cheap trigger time. If you want a do-it-all pump gun without the do-it-all price tag, this one earns its spot in the safe.
Yes, and that's one of its best features. The barrel is threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern, which is one of the most common thread patterns out there. It ships with Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full tubes, and you can add anything else in the Mobil pattern down the road.
You can. There's a Picatinny rail mounted on top of the receiver, just behind the ghost ring rear sight. Most compact red dots with a Picatinny mount will bolt right on, and the fiber optic front sight still works well if you prefer to run irons.
It has a 3 inch chamber, so it handles both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch 12 gauge shells. Birdshot, buckshot, and slugs are all fair game. Capacity is 5+1 with standard length shells in the magazine tube.
It checks the right boxes. The 18.5 inch barrel keeps it maneuverable indoors, the ghost ring and fiber optic sights are quick to pick up in a hurry, and the pump action runs on just about any ammo you feed it. The pistol grip stock and roughly 6.8 pound weight also make it manageable for follow-up shots.
