Owners of the Charles Daly 601 Field in 20 Gauge generally find it a capable field gun for the price. The Mossy Oak Bottomland finish is appreciated for its practical camo utility in hunting settings, and the 26-inch barrel length gets good marks for swing-through on upland birds.

The semi-auto action cycling is well-received with standard hunting loads, though a few owners note the 601 prefers 3-inch shells to cycle consistently. Fit-and-finish is described as solid for the price tier, with the camo pattern applied evenly across the stock and receiver.

Value is the most consistent positive theme in 601 Field feedback. Buyers coming from more expensive semi-autos sometimes note the trigger pull is heavier than premium alternatives, but most consider the 601 Field a good entry into 20 Gauge semi-auto field guns without a large investment.
