Turkey hunting with a 20 gauge has caught on in a big way, and it makes sense. Modern loads pattern tight, the guns carry lighter, and your shoulder thanks you after a long season. The Charles Daly 301 Pump Turkey leans into all of that with a 22 inch vent rib barrel, a 3 inch chamber, and full TrueTimber Strata camo from buttpad to muzzle. Strata is a smart pick for the turkey woods too, since its open, high-contrast pattern breaks up your outline whether you are set up against early season hardwoods or late spring greenery.
The shorter 22 inch barrel is the heart of this setup. It swings fast in a blind, points quick when a gobbler hangs up off to your side, and keeps the overall package easy to maneuver through brush. Up top you get a fixed fiber optic front sight that grabs light at first legal shooting time, and the grooved aluminum receiver lets you clamp on a red dot or scope if you prefer glass. The barrel is threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern, one of the most common thread systems out there, so aftermarket turkey chokes are easy to find. Charles Daly includes three tubes (improved cylinder, modified, and full) along with a wrench and case, which means you can pattern loads right out of the box.
The synthetic stock and forend are checkered for grip in wet spring weather, and a rubber recoil pad takes the sting out of stout turkey loads. Sling studs come installed, so adding a sling for the hike to your setup takes minutes. With a 5+1 capacity fed from the under-barrel magazine tube, you have follow-up shots covered if a bird needs a second helping.
The 301 series has built a reputation as a working-class pump that runs without fuss, and this Turkey model is a natural fit for hunters who want a dedicated spring gun without tying up a pile of money. Pattern it, sling it, and go find a longbeard.
Yes. The aluminum receiver is grooved on top, so it accepts optic mounts designed for grooved receivers, which is a popular setup for turkey hunting. If you would rather keep it simple, the fixed fiber optic front sight works well on its own, especially in low morning light.
The barrel is threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern and ships with improved cylinder, modified, and full tubes, plus a wrench and case. Since Mobil is one of the most widely supported thread patterns around, finding an extended aftermarket turkey choke is easy. Just make sure any tube you buy is rated for the shot type you plan to run.
It does. The 3 inch chamber runs both 2-3/4 inch and 3 inch 20 gauge shells, so you can practice with lighter field loads and step up to magnum turkey loads for the hunt. The rubber recoil pad helps soak up the extra push from heavier ammo.
Absolutely, and plenty of hunters have made the switch. Modern turkey loads, especially TSS, pattern tight enough from a 20 gauge to cleanly take gobblers at ranges that used to be 12 gauge territory. The lighter gun and softer recoil are welcome bonuses on long spring mornings.
