The Savage Arms 301 Turkey 20-gauge break-action shotgun is a lightweight, straightforward choice for turkey hunters who want simplicity and reliability in the field. Built on a proven single-shot action, the 301 strips away complexity—no moving parts to foul, no gas tubes to clean—and delivers the kind of dependability that matters when a gobbler is in range. The 26-inch barrel is purpose-built for modern turkey ammunition, and at just 5.6 pounds, it handles easily during long sits in the blind or hikes to your setup.

Dressed in Mossy Oak Obsession camouflage with a synthetic stock and fore-end, the 301 Turkey blends into hardwoods and field edges. A removable one-piece optic rail lets you mount a red dot or low-power scope for faster target acquisition—a practical upgrade for aging eyes or low-light conditions. The gun ships with an extra-full choke (Winchester .032UN pattern) tuned for tight, dense patterns, and the bead sight plays well with aftermarket TruGlo optics if you prefer iron sights. Swivel studs front and rear make it easy to add a sling for carry, and the recoil pad helps manage the push, even with modern turkey loads.

This is a 20-gauge, not a .410, which matters: you get more pattern density and knockdown authority than lighter gauges without the flinch factor of a 12. The 3-inch chamber accepts standard and magnum 20-gauge rounds, so you're not locked into one load type. Manual hammer-blocking safety, ambidextrous operation, and a 13.8-inch length of pull make it accessible to a wide range of shooters. If you hunt turkeys, value field reliability over feature creep, and want a tool that does one job exceptionally well, the Savage 301 deserves a look.
