Description
There is something about a 20 gauge over/under that just feels right in the grouse woods, and the Charles Daly 202E nails that feeling without emptying your wallet. The engraved steel receiver gives it the look of a much fancier gun, and the checkered walnut pistol grip stock keeps things traditional. At roughly 7.1 pounds it carries comfortably through a long day of walking hedgerows, and the 26 inch barrels swing quick enough for tight cover birds while still tracking smooth on crossing clays.
What Sets the 202E Apart in the Field
This is the ejector model in the 202 lineup, which is a nice step up for anyone who has spent time plucking spent hulls out of a break action with cold fingers. Pop the gun open and your empties kick clear, so reloads happen fast when a covey flushes late. The single selective trigger lets you choose which barrel fires first, handy when you want a tighter choke ready for that second, farther shot. A fiber optic front sight sits on the vent rib for quick eye pickup in low morning light, and the 3 inch chambers give you room to run heavier loads when the situation calls for it.
Choke Options for the Charles Daly 202E 20 Gauge
The barrels are threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern, one of the most common choke systems out there, so finding extended or specialty tubes down the road is easy. Three chokes come in the box along with a wrench, letting you set up one barrel open and one tight right out of the gate. Pattern it with your favorite field load and you are ready for doves, quail, pheasant, or a casual round of skeet.
For a first double gun, a lightweight upland companion, or just a good looking wood and steel shotgun to keep in the rotation, the 202E is an easy one to like. It handles well, functions the way a break action should, and looks sharp doing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Charles Daly 202E have ejectors or extractors?
The 202E is the ejector version of the 202 series, which is where the E in the name comes from. When you break the action open, fired hulls are kicked clear of the chambers automatically instead of just being lifted for you to pull out by hand. That makes for quicker reloads in the field and is a feature usually found on pricier doubles.
What choke tubes fit the Charles Daly 202E 20 gauge?
The barrels are threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern, which is one of the most widely supported systems around. Three tubes and a wrench come with the gun, and aftermarket options from Carlson's, Briley, and others are easy to find if you want extended or specialty chokes later on.
Can the 202E handle 3 inch shells?
Yes, both barrels are chambered for 3 inch 20 gauge shells, so you can run everything from light 2-3/4 inch target loads up to heavier 3 inch field loads. That flexibility makes it a solid pick for anything from clays practice to pheasant season.
Is the Charles Daly 202E a good upland hunting shotgun?
It fits that role really well. At around 7.1 pounds with 26 inch barrels, it carries easily on long walks and comes up quick when birds flush. The single selective trigger, fiber optic front sight, and interchangeable chokes give you plenty of versatility for quail, grouse, doves, and pheasant.
