The Stevens 301 12 gauge is a single-shot, break-action shotgun with a 26-inch barrel, a rugged black synthetic stock and a modified choke tube (Savage part no. 22557). It has a 3-inch chamber, so it handles the common 2-3/4 inch and 3-inch field loads. A forearm release makes takedown easy, and a soft recoil pad takes the edge off. The simple break action is easy to load, unload and clean, which makes it a good first shotgun or a dependable truck gun. Dove, rabbit and other small game are well within its reach.
