Detailed Features 

 
The pump action cycles reliably through the 3-inch chamber, handling everything from light target loads to heavier hunting rounds. The vent rib barrel gives a clean sight plane and dissipates heat during rapid fire. The brass bead front sight is fast to pick up in varying light. 
 
Three interchangeable chokes are included: full, modified, and improved cylinder. That covers most field situations from tight patterns for waterfowl to wider spreads for upland birds. The manual thumb safety sits where you'd expect it, operable without shifting your grip. 
 
At 46.25" overall and 6.60 lbs, this gun fits a range of shooters, including younger or smaller-framed individuals who find heavier 12 GA guns uncomfortable.

Owners of the Daly 301 Field 20 GA mostly appreciate the light weight and mild recoil of the 20-gauge chambering. It gets recommended often as an entry-level hunting shotgun, particularly for upland game, where the Mossy Oak Obsession finish is seen as a practical bonus rather than just cosmetic.

On the negative side, some users report cycling issues with certain loads, and build quality draws occasional criticism compared to established brands at similar price points. These concerns are not universal, but they come up often enough in discussions to be worth noting before purchase.

The overall consensus is that the 301 Field is a solid value for someone who wants an affordable, lightweight 20 GA for hunting or casual sport shooting, with the understanding that it is not a match for higher-end pumps in fit, finish, or long-term durability.
