Charles Daly Chiappa 301 930.315 12 24 3" Mobl

The Charles Daly Chiappa 301 is a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun built for hunters and sport shooters who want a versatile, maneuverable gun without breaking the bank. At 24 inches with a 3-inch chamber and 4+1 capacity, this compact platform strikes a balance between handling in tight cover and delivering enough firepower for most hunting scenarios. The aluminum receiver and steel barrel are finished in flat dark earth Cerakote, keeping weight down to 6.2 lbs while resisting corrosion in the field.

The Chiappa 301 accepts Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke tubes (MC-3X standard), so you can swap between chokes to match your quarry and conditions without special tools or adapters. The synthetic furniture wears a Mossy Oak Bottomland camo pattern—practical both for aesthetics and grip texture—and the checkered forend and stock help you maintain control even when things get wet or muddy.

Sights include a fiber optic front bead for fast target acquisition and a top-mounted Picatinny rail for mounting optics, red dots, or scout-style scopes. The manual safety is straightforward and accessible, and the gun employs automatic ejection so your empties clear cleanly with each cycle. At 44.25 inches overall, the Chiappa 301 remains nimble in a truck rack or brush, making it a solid choice for deer, upland birds, or clay shooting without the premium price tag.
