Description
There's a reason the 28 gauge keeps winning people over. It swings quick, patterns better than its size suggests, and won't beat up your shoulder over a long day in the field. The Charles Daly 202 puts that sweet-shooting bore in a traditional over/under package without the traditional over/under price tag. The engraved white receiver sits nicely against the blued 26-inch barrels and checkered walnut stock and forend, so it looks the part whether it's riding in the truck or resting on the gun rack at the clays course.
What the Charles Daly 202 Brings to the Field
The 26-inch chrome-lined barrels wear a vent rib topped with a fixed fiber optic front sight, which picks up fast on flushing birds and crossing targets alike. Chambers are cut for 3-inch shells, giving you room to run heavier loads when the situation calls for it. The single selective trigger uses a mechanical reset, meaning the second barrel fires even if the first shell is a dud or a light load, a practical touch you'll appreciate more than you'd expect. Barrel selection and safety both live on the tang where your thumb naturally lands, and extractors lift spent hulls for easy removal, which also makes saving your empties for reloading simple.
Choke Options Built Into the 202
Five choke tubes ship with the gun and thread into the familiar Mobil pattern, so aftermarket options are everywhere if you ever want something more specialized. Between the included constrictions you can set this gun up tight for late-season birds or open it way up for close skeet work without buying anything extra.
A 28 Gauge Over/Under That Earns Its Keep
At around 7.5 pounds with a 43-inch overall length, the 202 carries comfortably and swings smoothly for a full afternoon. It's a fine first over/under, a great excuse to get into the 28 gauge, or simply a good-looking break-action that does the job every time you open the case.

Frequently Asked Questions
What choke tubes come with the Charles Daly 202 28 gauge?
It ships with a set of five choke tubes covering constrictions from open to full, so you're covered for everything from close-range skeet to late-season upland birds. The tubes use the widely available Mobil thread pattern, which means finding replacement or specialty chokes down the road is easy.
Does the Charles Daly 202 have ejectors or extractors?
This model uses extractors, which lift the spent shells out of the chambers when you break the action so you can pull them by hand. A lot of folks prefer extractors since your empties never end up in the grass, which is a nice perk if you save hulls for reloading.
Is the 202 a good choice for a first over/under shotgun?
It's one of the more approachable ways to get into a break-action double. The single selective trigger with mechanical reset, tang safety, and included choke set cover all the fundamentals, and the 28 gauge chambering keeps recoil mild for new and experienced hands alike. You get classic over/under styling and function without a big investment.
Can the Charles Daly 202 handle 3-inch 28 gauge shells?
Yes, the chambers are cut for 3-inch shells, so it runs both standard 2-3/4 inch loads and the newer 3-inch 28 gauge offerings. That flexibility lets you step up to heavier payloads for tougher birds while still shooting light target loads for clays.
