The Charles Daly 601 20 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun is engineered for consistent performance across a range of applications, from dynamic field use to structured target practice. Its design integrates proven mechanical reliability with durable construction, providing a functional platform for discerning shooters.
Key Features
Construction & Materials
The core of the Charles Daly 601 is its precision-machined receiver, crafted from solid aluminum alloy. This construction method ensures a lightweight profile without compromising structural integrity or long-term durability. The FDE (Flat Dark Earth) finish applied to both the receiver and barrel provides a resilient barrier against environmental corrosion, critical for sustained field operations. The stock and forend feature a Mossy Oak Bottomland camouflage pattern, selected for its effective visual disruption in diverse wooded environments, enhancing user concealment during hunting applications.
Performance & Reliability
The semi-automatic gas-operated system is calibrated to reliably cycle both 2.75-inch and 3-inch shotgun shells, offering broad ammunition compatibility. The 22-inch vent rib barrel is purpose-designed to facilitate efficient heat dissipation during prolonged firing sequences, thereby mitigating barrel distortion and maintaining consistent point of impact. The vent rib further aids in rapid target acquisition and sight plane alignment. To optimize shot patterns across varying engagement distances and target types, the shotgun includes three interchangeable choke tubes, enabling precise pattern density management for diverse scenarios, from waterfowl hunting to sporting clays.
Field Utility
The Mossy Oak Bottomland camouflage pattern on the stock and forend is not merely aesthetic; it provides effective concealment in wooded environments, making this platform highly suitable for varied hunting applications. Its balanced profile aids in maneuverability and reduces user fatigue during extended use.
