There is something to be said for a shotgun with no frills to fuss over. The Stevens 301 from Savage Arms is a break-action single shot in 20 gauge, and it does exactly what a gun like this should do: open easy, load fast, go bang every time. The 3 inch chamber handles both 2-3/4 and 3 inch shells, so you can run light field loads for practice one weekend and heavier hunting loads the next without changing a thing.
The 26 inch carbon steel barrel wears a matte black finish that will not throw glare on a sunny morning, and the whole gun tips the scales at a hair over five and a half pounds. That light weight is a real advantage when you are covering ground, and the 20 gauge chambering keeps recoil manageable enough that newer hunters will not develop a flinch. A brass bead up front keeps the sight picture dead simple, and the synthetic stock and forend shrug off rain, mud, and briars in a way wood never will. A rubber recoil pad on the back end takes some sting out of stouter loads.
Unlike a lot of budget single shots with fixed chokes, the 301 ships with a removable modified choke tube threaded for the common Win Choke pattern. That opens the door to swapping in tighter or looser tubes depending on the job, whether that is patterning for turkeys, busting clays, or chasing rabbits through the brush. The two-position manual safety and simple takedown lever make the controls easy to learn, and the whole gun breaks down quick for cleaning or stashing in a pack.
As a first shotgun, a loaner for camp, or a knockaround gun that lives behind the seat, the 301 covers a lot of bases without asking much in return. Single shots have taught generations of hunters to make that first shot count, and this one carries the tradition forward with a few modern upgrades where they matter.
The 301 has a 3 inch chamber, so it runs both 2-3/4 inch and 3 inch 20 gauge shells. That covers everything from light target loads to heavier hunting loads for turkeys and waterfowl. Just match your shot type and choke to whatever you are hunting.
Yes. The barrel is threaded for the widely used Win Choke pattern and comes with a modified tube installed. That means finding tighter turkey chokes or more open tubes for close work is easy, since Win Choke tubes are some of the most common on the market.
It is a great fit for that role. The single shot break action is about as simple as a shotgun gets, the 20 gauge chambering keeps recoil mild, and the light 5.6 pound weight is easy to handle in the field. Plenty of hunters learned on a gun just like this, and the recoil pad and synthetic stock make it even more comfortable than the old classics.
Overall length is 41 inches with a 13.8 inch length of pull, which fits most adult and older youth frames. The break action also lets the barrel pivot down for a compact package during transport, and takedown for cleaning or packing is quick and tool-free.
