The Stevens M301 (brand part no. 23218) is a break-action single shot shotgun chambered in 20 gauge, giving hunters a lighter-recoiling option than a 12 gauge without giving up range on turkey or upland loads. It’s built around a 26-inch barrel with an included extra-full choke for a tight, effective pattern, and a manual thumb safety keeps the gun secure between shots. The Mossy Oak Bottomland finish blends into hardwood timber, making it a solid choice for hunters covering ground on foot. Simple, light, and purpose-built, it’s an easy shotgun to carry all day.
