The Charles Daly 500 (Charles Daly Chiappa part no. 390.340) is a full-size 20-gauge side-by-side shotgun built around a silver-engraved stainless steel receiver and gloss-blued barrels, giving it a dressier presentation than a plain working gun. Checkered oiled walnut furniture rounds out the classic double-gun profile, and the 26-inch barrels keep it light and lively for upland hunting or clays. A bead front sight and break-open action keep the shooting experience straightforward.
