Charles Daly 214E 12 3" Over/Under, 3" chamber Shotgun

The Charles Daly 214e O/U 12/30 Field Bl/Wd 3" is a classic over-under shotgun built for upland hunting, clay sports, and field work where reliability and balance matter. This 12-gauge platform delivers the time-tested handling characteristics that make side-by-side and over-under shotguns the preferred choice for hunters and sport shooters who demand consistent performance in the field. With a 30-inch barrel and 3-inch chamber, this shotgun accommodates modern ammunition loads while maintaining the elegant profile that has defined field shotgun design for generations.

The 214e features a blued steel barrel paired with a white receiver and checkered walnut wood stock—a combination that resists corrosion while providing the aesthetic and ergonomic qualities serious shooters expect. The fiber optic front sight enhances target acquisition in varied light conditions, a critical advantage during early-morning hunts or overcast days. The two-round capacity (one round per barrel) is standard for over-under shotguns, eliminating the need for fast magazine changes during typical hunting scenarios. At 47.6 inches overall length with a manageable weight distribution, the 214e balances pointability with sustained accuracy, allowing shooters to swing smoothly through moving targets without undue fatigue.

This shotgun is ideal for hunters transitioning from semi-automatic platforms or those who prioritize mechanical simplicity and durability over high-capacity designs. The 30-inch barrel excels with steel shot, bismuth, and lead ammunition, making it versatile for waterfowl, upland game, and clay target competition. The wood furniture requires standard shotgun maintenance—regular cleaning, occasional oiling, and careful storage in dry conditions—but rewards users with a firearm that handles intuitively and maintains its value through proper stewardship. Compatibility with standard 12-gauge chokes and shells makes ammunition selection straightforward for any hunting season or shooting discipline.
