The Charles Daly 101 is a break-action, single-shot 20 Gauge shotgun with a 20-inch barrel and a 3-inch chamber. The steel barrel and receiver carry a black finish, and the synthetic stock and fore-end are done in a Mossy Oak Bottomland camo pattern (listed as ODG/Mossy Oak Bottomland on some offers). A Picatinny rail on the receiver adds a mounting point for optics alongside the fiber optic front sight.

Single-shot break-actions like the 101 draw owners who want the simplest possible mechanism: one shell, one shot, and almost nothing to go wrong mechanically. The tradeoff owners mention most is the lack of a fast follow-up shot, which matters more for some hunting styles than others.

The Mossy Oak Bottomland furniture and Picatinny rail get called out as practical touches for a gun in this price range, since mounting a red dot for turkey hunting doesn't require extra parts. The fiber optic front sight is generally liked for quick target acquisition in low light at dawn.

Opinions on value tend to be positive for a dedicated single-purpose gun, though a few owners note the single-shot format feels limiting if it becomes a primary field gun rather than a specialty or backup piece. The XX-Full choke that ships with it suits turkey and small-target work more than general upland use.
