Charles Daly 101 Compact Shotgun 410 ga 3" Chamber Single Shot 20" Barrel Mossy Oak Bottomland

The Charles Daly 101 Compact Shotgun in .410 is a lightweight, maneuverable break-action shotgun built for hunters and shooters who prioritize portability without sacrificing capability. At just 2.7 pounds with a 20-inch barrel, this single-shot .410 ga shotgun excels in tight spaces—from thick brush to small-game hunting and training—where a full-size 12-gauge would be cumbersome. The 3-inch chamber handles both 2.5-inch and 3-inch loads, giving you flexibility in ammunition selection. Its compact 37.75-inch overall length makes it ideal for younger or smaller-framed shooters, or anyone who values easy handling in confined terrain.

Built on a break-open action with manual extraction, the Charles Daly 101 is straightforward to load, shoot, and clear. The synthetic pistol-grip stock and foregrip provide a secure, weather-resistant grip in wet or brush conditions, and the manual safety is intuitive to operate. A fixed fiber-optic front sight comes standard, paired with a Picatinny rail for mounting optics or accessories if you want to extend its capability. The matte finish in Mossy Oak Bottomland camo helps you blend into natural cover without drawing attention.

The shotgun accepts Beretta/Benelli Mobil Choke threads (MC-1, XXF), so you can tailor your shot pattern for different hunting scenarios—tighter for distant targets, more open for close work. Whether you're introducing a new shooter to shotguns, hunting small game, or running training drills, the Charles Daly 101 Compact delivers reliability and ease of use in a genuinely packable package.
