There's something about carrying a side by side through a field that a pump or semi-auto just can't replicate, and the Charles Daly 500 Field delivers that experience without the heirloom price tag. This 12 gauge double wears checkered walnut on the stock and forend with a soft recoil pad out back, paired with 28 inch blued steel barrels and 3 inch chambers that handle everything from light target loads to heavier field ammo. At 45 inches overall, it swings the way a bird gun should, smooth and predictable on crossing shots.
Plenty of budget doubles cut corners on the trigger, but the 500 Field runs a single-selective trigger with a mechanical reset, so your second shot comes fast and the follow-up doesn't depend on recoil to set it. The barrel selector rides on the tang safety, letting you slide left or right to pick which choke fires first, which is a big deal when a bird flushes close or hangs up at distance. Extractors lift your hulls for easy removal, and it's a friendlier setup for anyone who likes to pocket their empties for reloading.
Both barrels are threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern, and Charles Daly includes all five tubes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That's a full spread of patterns from skeet distances out to late-season pheasants, and the Mobil thread means aftermarket tubes are easy to find. A fiber optic front bead picks up light nicely against brushy backgrounds, and the gun comes ready for a two-point sling, a thoughtful touch for long walks between covers. For a first double gun, a truck gun for the farm, or just a good excuse to shoot clays the old-fashioned way, the 500 Field is a lot of shotgun in a classic package.
This model uses a single-selective trigger with a mechanical reset, so one trigger fires both barrels in sequence. The selector is built into the tang safety, and sliding it left or right chooses which barrel fires first. That lets you pick your choke on the fly depending on how a bird presents.
The barrels are threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern, one of the most common systems out there. It ships with a full five-tube set covering Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. Aftermarket Mobil-pattern tubes are widely available if you want extended or specialty chokes down the road.
It uses extractors, which lift the spent shells out of the chambers when you break the action open so you can pluck them out by hand. Ejectors that fling hulls clear are typically found on pricier doubles. Many hunters and reloaders prefer extractors anyway since the empties stay put instead of landing in the grass.
Yes, the 3 inch chambers happily accept 2 3/4 inch shells, which is what most people will shoot for clays, dove, and quail. The longer chambers give you the option of stepping up to 3 inch loads when you need more payload. Just stick with quality factory ammo and you're set for pretty much any wingshooting job.
