There's a reason single-shot 20 gauges have taken over the turkey woods, and the Stevens 301 Turkey XP is a big part of it. Modern TSS loads changed the math. You no longer need a heavy 12 gauge to put dense, lethal patterns on a gobbler's head at real hunting distances, and the 301's 26 inch barrel was set up with those heavier-than-lead payloads in mind. Pair it with the included extra-full choke and you've got a combination built to stack pellets exactly where that dot is sitting.
The XP part of the name is the good news for anyone who doesn't want to shop for an optic separately. Stevens mounts a 1×30 red dot on a removable one-piece rail at the factory, so all that's left is confirming zero and patterning your load of choice. There's still a bead up front if you ever pull the rail off and want to run it old school. The break action itself is about as simple as shotguns get. One shell, a thumb safety, and nothing to jam or shortstroke when a longbeard hangs up at 40 yards and your heart rate spikes.
At 5.07 pounds bare and 41.5 inches overall, this thing carries like a dream whether you're running and gunning ridges or slipping into a blind before daylight. The synthetic stock and forend wear Mossy Oak Bottomland, a pattern that has become the unofficial uniform of serious turkey hunters, and the matte black barrel keeps glare down when a sharp-eyed tom is scanning your setup. A 13.75 inch length of pull and factory recoil pad make it comfortable for a wide range of hunters, and it's a popular pick for getting a new hunter started without a bunch of complexity.
The barrel threads accept Win Choke pattern tubes, so swapping or upgrading chokes down the road is easy and affordable. The 3 inch chamber handles the full range of 20 gauge turkey loads, from budget lead to premium TSS. Spend a session at the pattern board before opening day and this little single shot will hold up its end of the bargain.
Yes, the XP package ships with a 1×30 red dot mounted on a one-piece rail from the factory. You'll still want to zero it and pattern your turkey load before season, but there's no extra optic purchase or mounting work required. The rail is removable if you'd rather use the bead sight or mount a different optic.
It was built for them. The 26 inch barrel and 3 inch chamber are optimized for heavier-than-lead TSS payloads like Federal HEAVYWEIGHT TSS, which is what makes a 20 gauge so effective on turkeys these days. The included extra-full choke helps deliver the tight, dense patterns TSS is known for.
The barrel is threaded for Win Choke pattern tubes, one of the most common thread patterns out there. An extra-full turkey choke comes in the box, and aftermarket options from brands like Carlson's and TRUGLO are easy to find if you want to fine-tune your pattern.
It's one of the most popular picks for exactly that. The single-shot break action is simple to learn and easy to check clear, and at just over 5 pounds it's manageable for smaller-framed hunters. With TSS loads, 20 gauge recoil stays reasonable while still delivering plenty of pattern density for spring gobblers.
