There's something to be said for a shotgun that does one thing and does it without drama. The Charles Daly 101 is a break-action single shot 12 gauge built around a 28 inch barrel and a 3 inch chamber, so it handles everything from light target loads to heavier 3 inch magnum hunting shells. Crack it open, drop a shell in, close it up, and you're ready. The extractor lifts spent hulls clear of the chamber for quick reloads, and the manual safety keeps operation straightforward for newer shooters and old hands alike.
Plenty of budget-friendly single shots ship with plain synthetic stocks, but this 101 wears checkered walnut on both the buttstock and forend, set against a gloss black steel receiver and blued barrel. It gives the gun a traditional field look that stands out at this end of the market, and the checkering adds real grip when your hands are cold or wet. Up top, a simple brass bead front sight gets your eye on target fast, the way a field shotgun should.
The barrel is threaded for Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke tubes and comes with a Modified choke installed, which is a solid all-around pattern for doves, rabbits, squirrels, and clays off the thrower. Because Mobil threads are so common, picking up a Full for turkey season or an Improved Cylinder for close cover work is cheap and easy.
At roughly 5 pounds with a 43.75 inch overall length, the 101 is the kind of gun you sling for a long walk without thinking twice. That makes it a natural fit as a truck gun, a farm and pest gun, a backpacking companion, or a first shotgun for someone learning the fundamentals. One shot at a time teaches good habits, and owners consistently report these run reliably and hold up to regular field use.
Yes. The 101 has a 3 inch chamber, so it handles both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch 12 gauge shells. Just keep in mind this is a light gun at around 5 pounds, so heavy magnum loads will have noticeably more felt recoil than target loads.
The barrel is threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern, which is one of the most widely available thread systems out there. A Modified choke comes installed from the factory, and you can add Full, Improved Cylinder, or other constrictions from just about any major choke maker.
It's a great fit for that role. The break-action design makes it easy to see when the gun is loaded or clear, the manual safety is simple to operate, and loading one shell at a time builds solid fundamentals. The light weight also makes it easy for smaller-framed folks to carry and handle.
The 101 uses an extractor rather than an auto 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. A lot of hunters prefer this since your empties end up in your pocket instead of on the ground.
