Overview — Purpose-Built for the Field
The Charles Daly 301 (930226) blends modern ergonomics with practical features that hunters care about: a balanced 26" vent-rib barrel for improved sighting and patterning, a durable checkered synthetic stock and forend finished in Mossy Oak Obsession camouflage for true concealment, and reliable semi-auto cycling that accepts 3" magnum shells for flexible load choices. Whether you’re hunting upland birds, dove, or pairing it with waterfowling gear, the 301 is built to be light on the shoulder and heavy on performance.
Key Features & Benefits
20 Gauge, 3" Chamber: Accepts 3" shells for a wide range of factory loads—from light target loads to heavier hunting payloads—while keeping recoil manageable for extended shooting.
4+1 Capacity: Holds four rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber for quick follow-ups.
26" Vent Rib Barrel: Vent-rib design improves sight alignment, reduces glare, and helps keep patterns consistent; the longer barrel length aids swing and follow-through on flying targets.
Full Coverage Mossy Oak Obsession Camouflage: Factory-applied full-coverage camo finish on stock and forend for maximum concealment in woods and marshes.
Checkered Synthetic Stock & Forend: Tough, weatherproof synthetic materials with checkering for secure grip in cold, wet, or muddy conditions.
Semi-Automatic Action with Auto Ejection: Smooth cycling and positive auto-ejection for fast follow-up shots and quick reloads in the field.
Includes 3 Choke Tubes: Comes with a set of three choke tubes for patterning at multiple ranges—ideal right out of the box for both close and medium-range shots.
Durable Finishes & Corrosion Resistance: Built to withstand the elements encountered in waterfowl and upland hunting environments.
Ergonomic Handling: Designed for intuitive mounting, natural point of aim, and quick target acquisition.
Performance & Shooting Characteristics
The Charles Daly 301 is tuned to be an all-around hunting companion. The 20-gauge format gives you an excellent balance of pellet payload vs. recoil management—an ideal choice for hunters who want extended shooting comfort without sacrificing terminal performance. The 26" vent rib promotes smooth swing dynamics and helps shooters hold a steady sight picture on passing birds. With the included choke set, you can pattern tighter for longer shots or open up for flushing birds at close range.
Construction & Durability
Engineered for real-world field use, the 301 features a rugged semi-automatic action engineered to cycle reliably with common 3" 20-gauge loads. The synthetic stock and forend resist moisture, swelling, and impact; the checkering provides tactile purchase even when wearing gloves. The Mossy Oak Obsession finish is applied for full-body concealment and is tough enough for repeated use and harsh field conditions.
