There is something to be said for a shotgun with no bells and whistles to fuss over. The Stevens 301 from Savage Arms is a break action single shot in 12 gauge, and it does the basics right. Crack it open, drop in a shell, thumb back the hammer, and you are in business. The 3 inch chamber handles both 2-3/4 and 3 inch loads, so the same gun covers everything from light dove loads to heavier waterfowl and turkey shells.
At 5.6 pounds with a 41 inch overall length, the 301 is the kind of gun you can carry all day without thinking about it. The 26 inch carbon steel barrel wears a matte black finish that shrugs off weather and does not throw glare, and the black synthetic stock and forend hold up to brush, rain, and truck beds far better than a budget wood stock would. Molded checkering gives you grip when things get wet, sling swivel studs come standard, and the soft rubber recoil pad takes real bite out of 12 gauge loads in a gun this light.
Unlike a lot of old fixed choke single shots, this one ships with a removable modified choke tube in the common Winchoke pattern, so you can swap constrictions to match the job. A brass bead up front keeps sighting simple, an ejector kicks hulls clear when you break the action, and the manual hammer plus two position safety give you clear control over when the gun is ready to fire. A button on the forend pops it free for quick takedown, which makes cleaning and compact storage about as easy as it gets.
Whether it is a first shotgun for a new hunter, a knockaround truck gun, or a lightweight small game setup, the 301 covers a lot of ground for very little fuss.
Yes. The 301 uses the common Winchoke thread pattern, so standard Win-Choke style screw-in tubes will fit. That means you can run a full choke for turkey, improved cylinder for close flushing birds, or whatever else the hunt calls for.
It does. The 3 inch chamber handles both lengths, so you can run light target loads for practice and step up to 3 inch magnum loads for waterfowl or turkey. Keep in mind that heavier loads will have noticeable recoil in a gun this light, though the soft rubber pad helps a lot.
It is one of the most popular picks for exactly that. The break action is simple to learn, the exposed hammer makes it obvious when the gun is cocked, and loading one shell at a time encourages making the shot count. At 5.6 pounds it is also easy for smaller-framed hunters to carry, though new users should start with lighter 2-3/4 inch loads.
No, this 12 gauge model is not drilled and tapped and does not have a rail. It is set up as a traditional field gun with a brass bead front sight, which works well for wing shooting and general small game use.
