Detailed Features
The break-open action loads and unloads quickly with no moving parts beyond the hinge. At 5.4 lbs, it's light enough for youth shooters and older hunters who want a gun that doesn't fatigue on a long walk. The recoil pad absorbs some of the snap from 20-gauge loads. The modified choke tube gives a mid-range pattern suitable for upland birds and small game. Disassembly for cleaning is straightforward.

What Reviewers Say
Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews. Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.
It did feel a little cheap right here like it's not the tightest thing ever.
This type of gun having a manual hammer on it there's not really much you can do to mess up the operation of it this does have a hammer block in here as well.
When it's closed I can actually feel a little bit of movement in between the receiver and the barrel when I wiggle a little bit.
I actually think the stock on this is thicker than what you would get on a ruger american it's not like super high quality the bluing is ample.
At 25 yards the accuracy was more than ample the patterning was pretty good and i'm very happy with this shotgun.
Customers Say
AI-generated insights derived from customer reviews and discussions on popular gun-enthusiast forums.
The Savage M301 in 20 gauge gets a straightforward response from owners. It's a budget-priced single-shot that does what it's supposed to.
Affordability is the most common positive comment. Buyers frequently recommend it as a first shotgun or as a utilitarian option for occasional use. The lightweight build is appreciated for carrying during hunts, and the simple break-action operation makes it accessible for newer shooters.
The negatives are predictable for a lightweight single-shot 20 gauge: recoil is sharper than some users expect, especially during extended range sessions. A small number of users find the trigger pull heavier than they prefer. The lack of adjustable chokes or upgraded sights limits versatility compared to over/under or pump options at higher price points. Aftermarket accessory availability is limited.
Overall the gun fits its intended market, entry-level and light use, without pretending to be more.
