Single-shot break-action shotguns are the oldest formula in the book, and they endure because they're light, simple, and there's nothing to go wrong. Charles Daly's 101 in .410 bore with a 20" barrel and black synthetic stock is set up for turkey work — a bore that has become surprisingly capable in that role since modern TSS loads arrived, throwing dense patterns from a gun that recoils gently enough for young hunters. The short barrel and light weight make it easy to hold on a bird through a long sit. Also a sensible first shotgun, since the manual of arms enforces deliberate, one-shot discipline.
