The Charles Daly 101 Turkey is a break-open single-shot shotgun chambered in 12 GA (3"). It is built around the turkey hunting use case: Mossy Oak Bottomland camo, a fiber optic front sight, a Picatinny rail for optics mounting, and an extended ported XXF choke on the Beretta/Benelli Mobil thread pattern.

Features 

 
The break-open action loads and unloads quickly and keeps the overall length down to 37.75 inches, which helps in tight cover. At 5 lbs it is easy to carry for a full morning in the woods. The checkered synthetic stock in Mossy Oak Bottomland handles wet conditions without warping. Manual thumb safety sits in a natural position that doesn't require shifting your grip. The fiber optic front sight works well in low early-morning light, and the Picatinny rail lets you add a red dot or scope if you prefer an optic for the longer shots. 
 

Usage 

 
At its price point this gun makes sense for hunters who want a dedicated turkey setup without spending much. The single-shot capacity isn't a limitation in turkey hunting where the first shot is usually the only one that matters. The XXF extended choke is already matched to the application.

Owners of the Charles Daly 101 Turkey generally like the Mossy Oak camo pattern and appreciate that it sells for less than most dedicated turkey guns. The lightweight build gets consistent praise from hunters who cover a lot of ground before setting up.

The most common concerns are build quality and recoil. Some users find certain components feel less solid than pricier options, and durability questions come up after extended use. Recoil with heavy turkey loads is noticeable on a 5 lb gun, and a few hunters wish there were better recoil pad options. Customization choices are limited compared to higher-end platforms.

Customer service experiences are mixed. Some warranty and parts requests have gone smoothly, while others report slow responses. For a budget turkey gun it handles the job, and most users frame the trade-offs clearly: you give up some build quality and recoil comfort in exchange for a dedicated camo setup at a low price.
