Owners of the 301 Pump Field in 12 Gauge describe the pump cycling as dependable once the gun is broken in, with a few mentioning it needs a little use before it runs completely smooth. The synthetic stock and FDE/Tan finish are seen as practical for a shotgun meant to live in a truck or blind.

The longer 28-inch barrel is generally liked for a steady, controlled swing on longer shots. The fiber optic sight gets consistent praise for helping with target pickup at dawn and dusk, and the pump action holds up over repeated firing during a full day in the field.

Most buyers see the 301 Pump Field as solid value for a hunting shotgun that comes with a set of chokes instead of a single fixed choke. A few wish the trigger were crisper, but overall it is viewed as a dependable field gun for the price.
