There is a lot to like about a 20 gauge pump gun that does not take up half the truck. The Charles Daly 301 Field Compact trims the platform down to a 22 inch vent rib barrel and a shorter overall package, which makes it a natural fit for younger hunters, smaller framed folks, or anyone who just prefers a quicker handling shotgun in thick cover. The 3 inch chamber runs both 2.75 and 3 inch shells, and the 4+1 tube capacity keeps plenty on tap for a dove field or a walk through the grouse woods.
If you have ever run a classic American pump gun, the 301 will feel like home. The action layout, safety, and action release all sit where your hands expect them to be, and the design breaks down quickly for cleaning at the end of the day. The black anodized receiver is grooved on top, the barrel wears a vent rib for a clean sight plane, and the whole gun swings fast thanks to its trim dimensions. Reviewers of the 301 line consistently note smooth cycling, solid ejection, and reliable feeding across a range of loads, which is exactly what you want in a working field gun.
Plenty of budget pump guns ship with plastic furniture and a single fixed choke. This one gives you a proper fixed walnut stock with traditional looks, plus three screw-in choke tubes: Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full. The threading is the common Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern, so finding aftermarket tubes later is simple. That flexibility means one gun can pattern tight for late season birds or open up for close flushing quail and clays off the low house.
This is the kind of shotgun that gets handed down. It is affordable enough to take into the field without babying it, soft shooting in 20 gauge, and sized right for a first shotgun or a lightweight second gun for the seasoned hunter. Load it up, pattern your chokes, and go put it to work.
It is one of the better options in its price range for exactly that. The compact stock dimensions and shorter 22 inch barrel keep the gun manageable, and 20 gauge recoil is noticeably softer than a 12. The controls mirror the classic American pump layout, so the skills learned here carry over to just about any other pump gun down the road.
The barrel is threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern, one of the most common thread systems out there. It ships with Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full tubes, which covers everything from skeet distances to longer field shots. Since Mobil chokes are so widely available, adding specialty tubes later is easy and inexpensive.
Yes. The 3 inch chamber handles both shell lengths, so you can practice with light 2.75 inch target loads and step up to 3 inch magnum loads when hunting calls for more payload. Capacity is 4+1 in the tube magazine.
The short barrel and light handling make it a natural for upland birds, squirrels, rabbits, and busting clays at the range. The vent rib and included chokes give it more versatility than most guns at this price point. It also makes a fine all-around utility shotgun to keep behind the seat or in the camp cabin.
