Charles Daly 930343 202 28 Gauge 3" 2-Round Walnut Stock Shotgun

The Charles Daly 930343 202 28 Gauge 3" 2-Round Walnut Stock Shotgun is a refined, lighter-recoil platform designed for hunters, sport shooters, and tactical operators seeking a reduced-report firearm without sacrificing stopping power. The 28 gauge sits between 20 and .410, offering shooters a lower recoil impulse and faster target reacquisition while maintaining effective pattern density at practical distances. This shotgun appeals to youth, smaller-framed shooters, and those managing hearing conservation—critical factors in both civilian and professional shooting environments.

Built on the Charles Daly/Chiappa platform with proven Italian craftsmanship, this 28 gauge features a walnut furniture set that balances traditional aesthetics with functional reliability. The 3-inch chamber accommodates both 2¾" and 3" loads, expanding ammunition versatility for different hunting scenarios and clay sport disciplines. The 2-round capacity keeps the firearm lightweight at 7.6 pounds and manageable across diverse terrain, while the 30.2-inch overall length provides adequate sight radius and maneuverability in brush and close-quarters environments typical of upland hunting and tactical training scenarios.

This shotgun excels for upland bird hunting, youth shooting sports programs, and law enforcement or security training where hearing damage reduction justifies smaller-gauge selection. The walnut stock provides classic ergonomics and durable field durability, while the compact profile suits vehicle storage and rapid deployment. Users accustomed to 12 or 20 gauge platforms will find the 28 gauge transition seamless, with standard 2¾" ammunition widely available and economical, making this Charles Daly model ideal for high-volume training and recreational shooting without excessive wear on shooter physiology.
