Stevens 22437 320 Field Compact 20 Gauge Pump 3" 5+1 22" Matte Black Vent Rib Barrel, Matte Black Aluminum Receiver, Fixed Matte Black Synthetic Stock, Ambidextrous
The Stevens 22437 320 Field Compact is a 20-gauge pump shotgun built for hunters who want a lighter, more nimble gun without sacrificing reliability or capacity. At just 7 pounds with a 22-inch barrel, this is a genuinely handy upland and field gun—ideal for young shooters, smaller-framed hunters, or anyone who values quick target acquisition over a heavier magnum-capable platform. The 3-inch chamber handles both 2¾" and 3" 20-gauge loads, giving you flexibility at the range or in the field.
What sets the 320 apart is its straightforward, no-nonsense design. The aluminum receiver keeps weight down while the matte black finish resists glare and corrosion. The 22-inch barrel sports a vented rib for better sight picture and airflow, and the fixed synthetic stock won't warp or swell like wood in wet conditions. The pump action cycles smoothly and reliably—you get 5 rounds in the magazine plus 1 in the chamber for a practical 5+1 capacity. Ambidextrous controls mean left- and right-handed shooters operate the gun with equal ease.
This isn't a tactical platform or a long-range waterfowl gun. It's a field gun: light enough to carry all day through brush, simple enough to trust in the moment, and affordable enough that you won't flinch when branches find the barrel. Pump-action shotguns reward deliberate shooting and gun handling, and the Stevens delivers on both counts.
