Charles Daly Chiappa 601 930.313 12 24 Mobl

The Charles Daly Chiappa 601 is a gas-operated semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun built for hunters and sport shooters who want a modern, reliable platform without breaking the bank. With its 24-inch barrel, compact profile, and lightweight design, it's equally at home in a duck blind, a turkey roost, or at the clay range. The aluminum receiver keeps weight down to just 6 pounds, while the steel barrel wears a Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish that resists corrosion and pairs well with the Mossy Oak Bottomland synthetic furniture.

This shotgun feeds from a 4+1 magazine tube and cycles reliably thanks to its proven gas-operated rotary bolt system. The Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke thread pattern gives you flexibility—swap between the included flush-mounted Modified choke and the extended-ported Extra Full for different hunting scenarios. A fixed fiber optic front sight sits atop the barrel, and a Picatinny rail at the rear gives you room to mount a red dot or scope if your hunting demands it. Manual safety, single-stage trigger, and auto-ejection round out a straightforward, user-friendly control layout.

At 44.25 inches overall, this Charles Daly handles like a carbine, making it a solid choice for tight blinds or thick cover. The checkered synthetic stock and forend provide a secure grip in wet conditions, and the entire package weighs light enough to carry all day without fatigue. Whether you're chasing waterfowl, upland birds, or clays, the Chiappa 601 delivers no-nonsense performance at a sensible investment.
