The Charles Daly 301 Field Compact in .410 bore is exactly what it looks like: a no-fuss, wood-stocked pump gun built for getting out and hunting. Manufactured by Chiappa Firearms and sold under the long-running Charles Daly name, this compact version of the 301 field series pairs a 22" steel vent-rib barrel with a fixed checkered walnut stock and forend. The aluminum receiver wears a black anodized finish and features a grooved top rail, so if you ever want to drop a red dot or scout scope on it, the option is already there. The 3" chamber handles both 2.75" and 3" shells, and the tube-fed magazine holds four rounds with one in the chamber.
The combination of a 22" barrel and .410 bore keeps this gun short, light, and easy to carry through thick cover all day. The controls follow a straightforward layout: cross-bolt manual safety behind the trigger, an action release lever to open the action without firing, and a single-stage trigger. It feeds from the tube magazine with automatic extraction, and the action cycles with the kind of solid, predictable feel that pump guns are known for. Three Beretta/Benelli Mobil-pattern choke tubes are included right out of the box, Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder, which gives you a lot of versatility for different ranges and game. The brass bead front sight is simple and fast to pick up in the field.
The checkered walnut stock and forend aren't just for looks. The texturing gives you a positive grip even with cold or wet hands, and real wood furniture is always going to have a certain feel that synthetic can't fully replicate. The grooved receiver means sling studs and optic mounts are options down the road. For small-game hunting, quail, squirrel, or rabbit, the .410 bore is a classic choice that rewards accurate shooting and makes for a genuinely fun day in the field. The compact overall length also makes this a comfortable fit for smaller-framed adults who find a standard-length shotgun awkward to mount and swing.
It can work well for smaller-framed adults and older youth, mainly because the 22" barrel shortens the overall package and the .410 bore is one of the lightest-recoiling shotgun options available. That said, it uses a standard adult stock, so the length of pull isn't shortened the way a dedicated youth model would be. It's worth having the shooter mount the gun before buying to confirm fit.
It comes with three choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. The barrel is threaded to accept Beretta/Benelli Mobil-pattern choke tubes, which is one of the most widely available thread patterns on the market. That means a broad selection of aftermarket chokes from brands like Carlson's, Kicks, and others will fit without any modification.
The 3" chamber on this gun handles both standard 2.75" and 3" .410 bore shells. That covers most of what you'll find on store shelves, from light target loads to heavier field loads for small game. Just stick with lead or appropriately rated non-toxic shot for the choke you're running.
Yes. The aluminum receiver has a grooved top rail that's compatible with clamp-on scope or red dot mounts made for grooved receivers. It's a simple setup, not a full Picatinny rail, but plenty of low-profile mounts will fit and open up options like a compact red dot for close-cover hunting.
The 301 series is manufactured by Chiappa Firearms, an Italian company that produces Charles Daly branded shotguns. The 301 pump is built in Turkey, which is where the majority of the world's pump-action field shotguns at this price point are produced. Chiappa has a long track record with this platform and it's become a well-regarded affordable field gun.
The .410 is a small-bore, relatively light payload gauge that really shines on small game at reasonable distances: squirrels, rabbits, quail, and woodcock are the classic applications. It rewards clean shooting over volume of shot, which some hunters prefer. The 22" barrel and compact size make it easy to carry and handle in dense brush where longer guns get hung up.
