At 5.07 lbs, this is one of the lighter 20-gauge options for turkey hunting. The break-open action is simple — no cycling, no jam risk. The Extra Full choke is included specifically for turkey patterns at distance. The Mossy Oak Bottomland finish blends well in timber and wooded terrain. 
 

Usage 

This is a turkey hunting gun, and it's set up well for that purpose. The light weight makes it easy to carry during long sits or walks to a blind. The single-shot format pushes you to make the first round count, which suits the deliberate nature of turkey hunting. It's also a reasonable fit for beginners or youth hunters who want an approachable 20 gauge.

Owners of the Stevens 301 Turkey XP in 20 gauge generally like the lightweight build — 5.07 lbs is comfortable to carry in the field without fatigue. The Mossy Oak Bottomland camo gets good marks for blending into wooded environments. The single-shot format is seen as a plus for people who want to develop shooting discipline.

Affordability is a consistent theme. Most buyers consider it solid value for an entry-level turkey gun.

The main complaints are about trigger pull weight, which some find heavier than preferred, and recoil that can be noticeable for lighter-framed shooters given the gun's weight. A few users note that being limited to one round can be a disadvantage in situations where a follow-up shot is needed. These are trade-offs inherent to the design rather than defects. Overall, the sentiment is positive among turkey hunters who want a practical, lightweight 20 gauge at a reasonable price.
