- We’re switching gears on this episode as we start talking about Turkey hunting! Spring is right around the corner and we can’t help but have Turkey hunting on our brains!
I used to have a Remington 870. Mine was a 20 gauge. I sold it a few years back when I needed some money, and now regret it big time! I preferred the 20 gauge in the 870 because the 12 gauge kicked pretty hard, and I am a small built female. I recently went out and picked up the Charles Daly 601 field semi-auto 12 gauge. I haven't shot it yet. Glad to hear that the recoil isn't as bad as the 870.
Thanks for the feedback! Hope it works out for you!
Wow same I had a Remington 870 20 gauge that I used for turkeys than got the 601
Just shot mine today for the first time. I Shot 100 shells at a sporting clays event. Had 2 shells that didn’t eject. May have been cheap soft brass shells or break in issue. Not worried about it. Other shooters had the same issue today. It pointed and shot great. Low recoil. Great deal on a semi auto for $269 new. Great patterns in your video. 👍🏻
2 out 100 is good odds! I’ll take that. Thanks for the feedback!
I JUST PICKED UP A MINT USED FOR $150.00
The only thing that gun needs is for pat to grow his epic mustache again this year
You know it’s coming! Thanks for the feedback
Remington 870 have been around for 72 years. Don't sell it, because you may be back to using it some day. Great pattern with it that choke & Winchester loads. Longbeards make most guns look great these days.
Thanks for the feedback! Our general rule of thumb - never sell a firearm, just buy a bigger gun safe! 👍🏻
I can get one for $199 right now. I think its worth it even if I just use it as a fun range toy.
Definitely worth that! That’s a good deal
I just got a used one at a take or it leave it sale and it's in moderate condition for 150 but does anyone know if it's specced for shooting rifles slugs or can it only handle bird shot?
I will ask a reliable source for this answer. I will comment back when I have one. Thanks for the feedback!
Yes, you can shoot rifled slugs out of this gun. However, it won't be as accurate as shooting them through a slug barrel. This gun takes 2 3/4" and 3" shells. I prefer the Remington 3" Slugger Rifled Slugs. That is what I used in my Remington 1100 for years. They are more accurate. However, I have not shot any slugs through the Charles Daly 601 Field gun yet.
I'm thinking about getting one. How was the cycling?
some years ago, '20' bought a Charles Daly 601 or very similar. after a time, the firing pin failed, sent it back, they repaired it and no troubles since, tho seldom used.
attached note said, after some use, the buffer from the bolt travel could become worn and if so, return and they would take care of it.
good repair policy. become my home protection, with buck.
Great review. I've been looking at one, too. Would love to see your turkey bunny and good luck. Happy Hunting.
Thanks for the feedback! Good luck this season!
Helluva pattern for those distances.
Thanks for the review

I'm looking for a multi purpose shot gun and found the Charles Daly 601 Tactical which comes with dual barrel lengths, and I'm wondering if this 601 Field you have routinely cycles the 7.5 - 8 shot 2 3/4 inch shells that you can buy in Federal bulk packs from Walmart ?
If no, what would be the minimum sized shot shell that will prove reliable in your experience in regards to cycling ?
I appreciate your time spent in responding, thanks.
We recently had this gun at local shoot and shot approximately 150 rounds. It jammed one time towards the end of the day. I believe that’s what was being used in it. Wasn’t really sure why it jammed but it was quickly cleaned and oiled and didn’t have another problem.

Thanks for the response but I was hoping you could actually answer my questions...
Any 12 gauge shell will work in any 12 gauge as long as the shell doesn’t exceed length specs
I need something to shoot 3 1/2” shells. Semi auto and cheap. Got any recommendations? The one that has felt the best in my hands is the Winchester X4 but they are around $900 which is too much.
Do you have any issues with the longbeard cycling in your 601
Not at all. They cycled just fine.
Why are some of these guns so cheap? Do they rust extra fast?
Just a lower price point. They will likely use less expensive material when building to save cost of the item. Does that affect the quality? sometimes yes. But in this case it seems the quality is well and price is matched. The same obviously can not be said across the board. I hope this helped! Thanks for the feedback!
Pat you didn't tell me you started a channel. I'm looking at buying one this weekend, probably going with camo though
Yeah buddy!
I ordered the Primos JellyHead Beretta Benelli mobile choke and the threads are not fitting on my Charles Daly 601.
my older model takes Remchokes.
hey so im looking at picking one of these up. what choke tube did you use?? I see mixed things some say remington chokes interchange and some say the beretta/benelli fit. Thanks in advance.
Beretta/Benelli® Mobil Choke Thread MC-3 is the choke tube used in this video. It was a Primos JellyHead, worked great! Hope this information helps.
@@HuntingHospitality thank you think I'm picking one up Friday and wanna get a steel shot approved choke but makes it hard with conflicting information. I appreciate the reply. Have a happy Thanksgiving.
Very nice !
Thank you! Be sure to subscribe and check out some of the other review videos that we have!
Had one for 2 years love mine killed a lot of squirrel
Thanks for the feedback! It has mixed reviews across the internet, But seems like a great buy!
Nice!!! I cut the feet off the ones that don’t die right away
GREAT VIDEO
Thanks for the feedback!
Which choke did you end up using in this video..I just purchased this shotgun 2 days ago..thanks
This was a Primos Jellyhead -- Beretta/Benelli Mobil Choke Thread MC-3, is what you need to look for when shopping for a choke tube. Hope this helps!
I don’t know anything about guns and I bought one of these what is the cap that you can unscrew under the barrel
That is for the magazine tube . Holds ammunition in the tube and can be removed to remove the barrel. Be careful . If not familiar might shouldn't remove . Can be spring loaded and small parts can be gotten out of place or lost.
@@larryalexander4833 thank you
@@dominickmcgee7907 welcome
Well your not moving up if your comparing this to your 870 but you did do a good job in this review
What choke tubes fit this gun? I'm thinking about buying one.
Most places like Dicks Sporting Goods, Dunham’s Sports, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Academy etc will have it.
It’s a Benelli Beretta Mobile.
Looking for a new gun think this might be the one giving a follow also seem like a hood man
Good*
It is a great shooting gun for the price for sure! Thanks for the follow!
I love mine but can’t find parts for it to save my life
Have you tried your local dealer?
Contact - Chiappa firearms for parts.
Killed alot of deer with this gun love it no jams
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!

You can take it apart that way you can also take the spring out which is what the shells push when your loading and take out the price if it's in for hunting to only hold 3 and it'll hold more shells but mainly just to take it apart
Or put it in for hunting
But if you take it out you can take out the barrel and put different barrels in it
Or just carry it around easier
