(80 oz.), this is a genuinely light gun to carry through the woods all morning. The fiber optic front sight helps with target acquisition in low-light conditions, useful at dawn or dusk when turkeys are most active. The break-action loads and unloads quickly, and the 3-inch chamber handles standard turkey loads without issue. The Picatinny rail gives you the option to mount a red dot or scope if you prefer a magnified sight picture for longer shots. The synthetic stock holds up to wet weather better than wood would at this price point. It's a one-shot-at-a-time gun, which suits turkey hunting well. Most shots happen at close range after a careful setup, not in a rapid-fire situation. ### Typical Uses - Turkey hunting - Entry-level shooters learning with a simple, low-recoil platform ## What Reviewers Say *Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews. Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.* > This is starting to get uncomfortable on the 20 gauge uh just because it is plastic and it is a pretty light shotgun. > > — [The Hunting Gear Guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhA7HunEVio&t=162s) > With slugs a lot of recoil a lot of uh a lot of torque on it just shooting this thing and again you're going to want to slip on pad. > > — [The Hunting Gear Guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhA7HunEVio&t=270s) > Only if you put a slip-on butt pad on this thing because it's just rude it's just like a lot of knock and it's quite a light shotgun. > > — [The Hunting Gear Guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhA7HunEVio&t=573s) > I think my favorite by far is the is the 410 uh it's just so compact so lightweight. > > — [The Hunting Gear Guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhA7HunEVio&t=589s) ## What Customers Say *AI-generated insights from customer reviews* Hunters who discuss the 101 Turkey generally like it for what it is: a light, affordable 20-gauge that doesn't try to do too much. The weight is frequently mentioned as a genuine plus. Carrying a 5-lb. gun on a long morning hunt is noticeably less tiring than heavier alternatives. The 20-gauge recoil is manageable for most shooters, including younger or smaller-framed hunters, and that comes up often in positive feedback. The fiber optic sight gets consistent praise for low-light visibility, which is relevant given when turkeys tend to move. Users who've added a red dot via the Picatinny rail report improved confidence on longer shots. On the critical side, some users would like more customization options or upgraded materials. The synthetic furniture is functional but plain. A few compare it unfavorably to higher-priced turkey guns in terms of fit and finish. The single-shot limitation is accepted by most as appropriate for hunting but wouldn't suit anyone wanting more follow-up capacity. Overall the feedback skews positive, particularly from hunters who value simplicity and light carry weight over features. ## Pricing **6 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Grabagun Com | $149.99 | | Kygunco Com | $151.48 | | Gritrsports Com | $151.99 | | Centerfiresystems Com | $152.99 | | Buds Gun Shop | $158.99 | | Guns Com | $197.99 | ## Similar Products - [Daly 101 Turkey .410 GA, 20" Single Shotgun](https://gunsnation.com/p/daly-101-turkey-410-ga-20-single-shotgun/UD2Hn5Dzgm) - [Charles Daly 101 Hunter 12GA Single Shot, 20" Black Synthetic](https://gunsnation.com/p/charles-daly-101-hunter-12ga-single-shot-20-black-synthetic/UD2Hn5DzaA) - [Charles Daly 202A Elite Break-Open Shotgun 20 Gauge - Fiber Optic Sight](https://gunsnation.com/p/charles-daly-202a-elite-break-open-shotgun-20-gauge-fiber-optic-sight/UCwj1HW6) - [Charles Daly 101 Compact Woodland Camo 20GA Single Shot Shotgun](https://gunsnation.com/p/charles-daly-101-compact-woodland-camo-20ga-single-shot-shotgun/UD2Hn5E0Bz) - [Charles Daly Truetimber 101: Lightweight 20 Gauge Single Shot Shotgun](https://gunsnation.com/p/charles-daly-truetimber-101-lightweight-20-gauge-single-shot-shotgun/UD2Hn5E0BE) - [Charles Daly Tri-Barrel 12GA Shotgun - 28" Fiber Optic Sight](https://gunsnation.com/p/charles-daly-tri-barrel-12ga-shotgun-28-fiber-optic-sight/UD2Hn5Dzu9) --- *Data from [GunsNation](https://gunsnation.com)*
