Owners of the Charles Daly 601 in 20 GA generally appreciate the semi-automatic platform at an accessible price. The TrueTimber MC4XXF finish is a consistent positive in feedback from hunters who want a camouflaged field gun without paying a premium for domestic name brands.

The 20 GA chambering keeps recoil light, and the 22-inch barrel gets favorable comments for balance in dense cover. Some owners note variability in fit and finish between individual units, and a few report needing a break-in period before the action cycles reliably across different ammunition types.

Aftermarket support for the Charles Daly 601 is narrower than for major domestic shotgun lines, which comes up in discussions about choke tube compatibility and replacement parts. Buyers who treat it as a working field gun tend to be satisfied; those expecting the same fit and finish as higher-tier brands occasionally express disappointment.
