Mjollnir For Gobblers: The Stevens 301 .410 Turkey Gun

Because turkey hunting doesn’t have to hurt…well, not you, anyway.

A couple of months back, we announced that Federal Ammunition had a new .410 turkey load…

When we first heard the news that Federal Premium was coming out with a new .410 shotshell load suitable for hunting turkeys, it came as a relief–after all, is there anything more punishing to the shoulder than trying to pattern 3 1/2-inch magnum 12-gauge turkey loads? We did, however, wonder where were were going to find a .410 that was wearing enough camo to fool a tom turkey’s unbelievably sharp eyes…and that’s where the Stevens 301 .410 Turkey, clad in your choice of Mossy Oak Bottomland or Mossy Oak Obsession, comes in.

Of course, there’s more to the Stevens 301 than a chambering and a camouflage dip. The .410 platform’s single-shot, break action is simple and incredibly reliable, and the 26-inch barrel is optimized for Federal’s Heavyweight TSS payloads. The removable one-piece rail makes it easy to equip the 301 with an optic of your choice. With an extra-full choke tube included as well as a recoil pad and swivel studs for mounting a sling, this is one nifty little self-contained thunder-chicken gun. Best of all, the MSRP is a mere $200, which means that dealer prices are likely to be lower. Shipments are arriving at dealers right now–click here to find one near you.
