The Charles Daly 204X is a 12 GA over/under chambered for 3.5-inch Maxi-Mag loads, finished in Mossy Oak Obsession camo. With a steel frame, synthetic stock and forend, and Rem-choke compatible tubes, it is built for field work in conditions where a walnut-stocked O/U would be out of place.

Detailed Features
The 3.5-inch chamber is the defining spec here. It opens the door to heavier waterfowl and turkey loads that 3-inch-only guns cannot run. Five included choke tubes (CYL through XXF) cover everything from close-range birds to patterned turkey work. The single-selective mechanical reset trigger lets you pick barrels per shot.
At 8.6 lbs the 204X is on the heavier end for an O/U, which does help absorb recoil from 3.5-inch shells. The checkered synthetic stock handles weather and rough use without issue, and the Mossy Oak Obsession pattern works well for waterfowl and turkey setups. The fixed fiber optic front sight is visible in low-light conditions at dawn or dusk.
Usage Scenarios
Primarily useful for waterfowl and turkey hunters who want an O/U that handles magnum loads. Also works for upland hunting and range practice. The camo finish and synthetic stock make it a practical field gun; buyers wanting something for clay sports would likely look at a plainer O/U instead.
