Charles Daly 101 Shotgun: Refined Elegance in 28 Gauge

The Charles Daly 101 represents a thoughtful approach to shotgun design—a 28-gauge over-under that respects both tradition and practical shooting. This is a firearm built for those who understand that smaller gauges demand skill and reward precision.

Key Features

  • Gauge & Barrel Length: 28-gauge with 26-inch barrels—a combination that balances handling and pattern performance
  • Action: Over-under design provides natural pointing and reliable operation
  • Receiver: Black finish with clean lines and professional appearance
  • Stock & Furniture: Walnut furniture provides classic aesthetics and comfortable handling
  • Sighting System: Bead sight for quick target acquisition
  • Chamber: 3-inch chambers for versatility with standard and magnum loads

Why the 28 Gauge?

The 28-gauge occupies a unique position in shotgunning. It delivers sufficient shot charge for upland game and clay targets while producing minimal recoil—an advantage for younger shooters, those sensitive to recoil, or anyone who values shot placement over raw power.

Practical Application

This shotgun excels in upland hunting for quail, woodcock, and grouse. It's equally at home on the clay course, where its handling characteristics and reduced recoil allow for faster follow-up shots. The 26-inch barrels provide excellent maneuverability in brush and timber.

The Charles Daly 101 is a refined choice for shooters who understand that sometimes, less is more.
