There's something about carrying a double gun through bird cover that a pump or semi-auto just can't match, and the Charles Daly 500 Field delivers that experience without the price tag of a boutique double. This is a 20 gauge side by side with 26 inch barrels, a 3 inch chamber, and a checkered walnut pistol grip stock and forend that give it a proper traditional look. The break-open action keeps things simple: drop in two shells, close it up, and go hunting.
Instead of double triggers, the 500 runs a single-selective trigger with a mechanical reset, so you can pick which barrel fires first and your second shot doesn't depend on recoil to set the trigger. The manual safety keeps operation familiar, and an extractor lifts spent hulls clear of the chambers for easy removal by hand. Charles Daly threaded the barrels for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern, which is a big plus. Cylinder, Improved Modified, and Full tubes come in the box, and since Mobil is one of the most common thread patterns out there, finding additional constrictions is easy and affordable.
At roughly five pounds with a 43 inch overall length, this 20 gauge is scaled to the cartridge rather than built on an oversized frame, so it carries light and swings quick on flushing birds. A brass bead up front keeps your eye where it belongs, on the target. The rubber recoil pad takes the sting out of heavier loads, sling studs let you add a carry strap for long walks between covers, and the matte black finish shrugs off weather better than a high polish blue. Whether you're after quail, grouse, or clays on a Saturday morning, this is a double that earns its spot in the truck.
It uses a single-selective trigger, so there's just one trigger to manage and you choose which barrel fires first. The trigger has a mechanical reset, meaning the second barrel is ready to fire regardless of whether the first shell went off. That's a nice reliability touch compared to inertia-reset doubles.
The barrels are threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern, one of the most widely available thread systems on the market. Cylinder, Improved Modified, and Full tubes ship with the gun along with a wrench. If you want a Modified or Improved Cylinder for closer-flushing birds, aftermarket Mobil tubes are easy to find.
Yes, both barrels are chambered for 3 inch shells, so it will run 2-3/4 and 3 inch loads. That gives you plenty of range, from light target loads for clays to heavier hunting loads when the situation calls for more payload.
No, it uses an extractor rather than automatic ejectors. When you break the action open, spent hulls are lifted partway out of the chambers so you can pluck them out by hand. Plenty of upland hunters prefer this since your empties end up in your pocket instead of on the ground.
