CHARLES DALY 601 12GA

Design and key specifications

The CHARLES DALY 601 12GA is chambered for 12GA 3″ shells, giving shooters flexibility from light target loads to heavier defensive or hunting rounds. It comes with a 4rd magazine tube capacity and interchangeable chokes (IC, M, F) to tailor pattern density for your application. The front fiber optic bar sight improves rapid target acquisition in low to medium light, while the True Timber Prairie stock provides a durable, camo-ready finish suited for field use.

Sighting and ergonomics

The front Fiber Optic Bar sight is a standout for quick, instinctive aiming—especially useful for sporting clays, upland game, or closer-range defensive shots. The stock geometry on the True Timber Prairie configuration offers a natural cheek weld and consistent eye alignment with the optic, reducing follow-up shot time.

Choke options and tube capacity

Interchangeable chokes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, Full) let you tune spread for different targets: IC for tight close-range patterns, M for mixed-range versatility, and F for dense, longer-range patterns. Combined with a 4rd magazine tube, the platform balances capacity with handling—ideal for hunters who need maneuverability without excess weight.

Applications of the 12GA 3″ chamber

A 12GA 3″ chamber widens ammunition choices: light target loads for practice, magnum field loads for larger game, and defensive payloads where stopping power matters. For shooters who demand a single platform that covers range, field, and home-defense roles, this configuration is practical and cost-effective.

Priced at $344.99, the CHARLES DALY 601 12GA delivers established brand heritage with practical features—front Fiber Optic Bar sighting, a True Timber Prairie stock, 3″ chambering, 4rd magazine tube, and three choke options—making it a versatile choice.
