Charles Daly Chiappa 301 930.314 12 28 3" Trutimber

The Charles Daly Chiappa 301 is a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun built for hunters who need a reliable, fast-cycling workhorse in the field. With its 28-inch barrel, fixed fiber optic front sight, and proven pump action, this gun handles upland game, waterfowl, and clay work with equal competence. The TrueTimber Prairie camo finish on the checkered synthetic furniture blends into natural settings while the flat dark earth Cerakote receiver and barrel resist weather and wear—a solid choice whether you're grinding through early season grouse or setting up over a duck pond.

This Chiappa-manufactured shotgun feeds from a 4+1 magazine tube, cycling smoothly through the action without fuss. The manual safety is intuitive, and the single-stage trigger breaks cleanly. An aluminum receiver paired with a steel barrel keeps weight reasonable at 7 pounds, so you won't be dragging all day. The Beretta/Benelli Mobil Choke thread (MC-3 ICMF) means you can swap chokes to match your game and conditions—tight modified for ducks, open improved cylinder for flushing birds.

The fixed fiber optic sight gives you a fast, low-light-friendly aiming reference right out of the box. Auto ejection dumps empties reliably, and the checkered grip surfaces on both stock and forend keep the gun stable even when your hands are cold or damp. At 48.25 inches overall, it's maneuverable enough for brush and thick cover without sacrificing sight radius or balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What chokes are compatible with this Charles Daly pump shotgun?

The Chiappa 301 accepts Beretta/Benelli Mobil Choke threads (MC-3 ICMF). You can swap chokes to match your hunting situation—use a tighter modified choke for distant ducks or a more open improved cylinder for flushing upland birds.

Is this shotgun good for hunting and clay shooting?

Yes. The 28-inch barrel, pump action, and 3-inch chamber make it versatile for upland game, waterfowl, and target work. The fiber optic sight helps with quick target acquisition in the field.

What finish does it have and will it hold up in wet conditions?

The receiver and barrel are finished in flat dark earth Cerakote, a hard, durable coating that resists corrosion and wear. The TrueTimber Prairie camo on the stock and forend provides both camouflage and weather resistance in the field.

What's the capacity and how fast can I reload?

The magazine tube holds 4 rounds plus 1 in the chamber (4+1). The pump action cycles smoothly, so reloads are fast—typical pump-action speed—and the checkered grip surfaces help you manage the gun even with wet or cold hands.
