Description

The Charles Daly 301 Pump Turkey Shotgun 20 Gauge 22 in Strata Camo is a purpose-built pump-action shotgun for the serious turkey hunter who values reliability and concealment. Chambered in 20 gauge with a 22-inch vent rib barrel and 3-inch chamber, this shotgun delivers a balanced blend of handling ease and pattern density. The TrueTimber Strata camouflage finish blends flawlessly into hardwood and pine forests, while the fixed synthetic stock provides a stable, weather-resistant platform. With a grooved receiver that accepts optics and a Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke system including IC, M, and F tubes plus a wrench and case, the 301 is ready for the woods right out of the box. According to Charles Daly specs, the single-stage trigger and 5+1 capacity make it a dependable choice for both spring gobblers and fall field use.

Key Features

• TrueTimber Strata Camouflage Finish – Why it matters: This pattern breaks up the shotgun’s outline in dense woods and along field edges, helping you stay hidden from sharp-eyed gobblers.
• Grooved Receiver for Optics – Why it matters: Allows easy mounting of red dots or scopes without a gunsmith, giving you faster target acquisition when a tom hangs up at 40 yards.
• Beretta/Benelli Mobil Choke System – Why it matters: Includes three chokes (IC, M, F) plus a wrench, so you can dial in your pattern for close or long-range shots using widely available aftermarket tubes.
• 22-Inch Vent Rib Barrel – Why it matters: The shorter barrel swings quickly in thick cover, and the vent rib helps dissipate heat while providing a crisp sight plane for accurate wing or bead shooting.
• Fixed Synthetic Stock with 5+1 Capacity – Why it matters: The weatherproof stock stands up to rain and mud, and the 5+1 capacity gives you enough rounds for multiple shots without adding bulk.

Who It’s For

This shotgun is built for the southern turkey hunter who walks miles of river bottoms and pine ridges each spring. It’s also a fine choice for the dove hunter who wants a lightweight, reliable pump for late-season birds. If you prefer a 20 gauge for its reduced recoil and quick handling, the Charles Daly 301 fits right into your vest pocket.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Lightweight and easy to carry all day; excellent camouflage pattern for southern timber; affordable price point under $350; accepts popular Beretta/Benelli Mobil chokes.

Cons: The fixed synthetic stock lacks adjustable comb or length of pull, which may require a stock shim or pad for shorter or taller shooters. This is a minor trade-off for the price.
