Description

If you’ve been looking for a 20-gauge over-under that handles like a fine bird gun and doesn’t break the bank, the Charles Daly Triple Crown 20ga 26 in 3 in chamber is worth a long, slow walk through the dove field. This is a break-open shotgun built for the shooter who appreciates walnut, steel, and the simple elegance of a traditional field gun. Chambered for 3-inch shells and fitted with a 26-inch barrel, it’s a natural fit for quail, dove, and the occasional round of sporting clays. The receiver wears a polished steel/white finish that contrasts handsomely with the blued barrel, and the checkered walnut stock and forend give it that classic, well-balanced feel. It ships with RemChoke-pattern tubes, so you’ve got options whether you’re swinging on a fast-mounting covey or picking a single at the clay range. At just a hair over seventeen hundred dollars, this is a solid entry-level to mid-grade over-under that delivers where it counts.

Key Features

• 26-inch Vent Rib Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: That shorter barrel swings fast on close-rising birds, yet the vent rib gives you a clear, uninterrupted sight plane for those follow-through shots.
• Checkered Walnut Stock & Forend — WHY IT MATTERS: Walnut isn’t just pretty; it absorbs recoil better than synthetics, and the cut checkering gives you a positive grip even with sweaty hands on a hot September afternoon.
• RemChoke-Compatible Tubes — WHY IT MATTERS: You can swap from Improved Cylinder for close quail to Modified for doves or Full for longer clays, all with the turn of a wrench. No need to buy a whole new barrel.
• Polished Steel/White Receiver — WHY IT MATTERS: The bright finish resists rust better than blued steel in humid duck blinds or early-morning dew, and it just looks right on a classic field gun.
• Fixed Fiber Optic Front Sight — WHY IT MATTERS: That little red dot picks up light fast, helping you align on a rising bird without squinting. It’s simple, durable, and works in low light.

Who It’s For

This shotgun is built for the Southern shooter who values tradition and reliability. It’s perfect for the hunter who spends more time walking up birds than sitting in a blind. If you’re a dove hunter who wants a 20-gauge that points naturally and swings smoothly, this is your gun. It’s also a fine choice for the clay shooter who prefers a lighter, more nimble gun for sporting clays or five-stand. Beginners will appreciate the manageable recoil and straightforward manual of arms. Experienced shooters will respect the classic lines and RemChoke flexibility. If you’ve been shooting a pump or semi-auto and want to step into an over-under without selling a kidney, this is the gateway.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Excellent fit and finish for the price; lightweight at roughly 6.5 pounds; RemChoke system offers broad tube availability; traditional walnut stock looks and feels great; polished receiver resists corrosion.
• Cons: The fixed fiber optic front sight isn’t adjustable, so if you prefer a bead or a different height, you’ll need to have a gunsmith swap it. Also, some shooters find the safety/selector a bit stiff out of the box — it does break in with use.
