There is something refreshing about a shotgun that does one thing and does it well. The Charles Daly 101 is a break-open single shot in 20 gauge, and it keeps the whole experience simple: drop a shell in, close the action, and hunt. No magazine tubes to fuss with, no action to short-stroke, just a clean trigger press and an extractor that lifts the spent hull right where you can grab it. At about 5 pounds it barely registers on a sling, which matters a lot more than people admit by hour four of a squirrel or pheasant walk.
This version of the 101 pairs TrueTimber Prairie synthetic furniture with a Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish on the barrel and receiver, a combo that blends into open country and shrugs off weather better than blued steel and walnut ever will. The 26 inch barrel gives you a smooth swing and a longer sighting plane over the brass bead front sight, and the 3 inch chamber handles everything from light 2 3/4 inch field loads up to heavier 3 inch shells when the situation calls for it. A manual thumb safety keeps operation straightforward for newer hunters.
The barrel is threaded for Beretta/Benelli Mobil chokes, one of the most common patterns out there, and it ships with a Modified tube installed. That means you can tighten up to Full for longer shots or open up for close flushes without hunting for oddball tubes. It is a small detail that turns a basic single shot into a gun you can tune for doves, rabbits, upland birds, or a turkey blind.
A gun like this makes a great first shotgun, since knowing you get one shot teaches patience and shot discipline in a way nothing else does. It is also a smart truck gun, camp gun, or lightweight backup that will not break the bank. The 20 gauge chambering keeps recoil manageable in a light package, and the 101's simple design means there is very little that can go wrong with it.
The 101's barrel is threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern, which is one of the most widely supported systems on the market. It comes with a Modified tube already installed, and you can pick up Full, Improved Cylinder, or extra-full turkey tubes from most major choke makers if you want to change your pattern for different game.
Yes. The 3 inch chamber handles both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch 20 gauge shells, so you can run light field loads for practice and small game or step up to heavier 3 inch loads when you need more payload. Just stick with the choke recommendations on your ammo, especially with tighter constrictions.
It is one of the better options out there for that role. The break-open action is about as simple and easy to check as shotgun designs get, the 20 gauge chambering keeps recoil reasonable, and the single shot format builds good habits around making the first shot count. The light weight also helps smaller-framed hunters carry it comfortably all day.
The 101 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 pluck it out by hand. It is a simple, reliable setup that also means no empties flying off into the brush.
