Description
The Charles Daly 335 Maxi-Mag 12 Gauge Pump is a full-coverage camo field gun with a 3.5 inch chamber, made for turkey hunters and waterfowlers who want magnum shell capability without paying for a semi-auto. This model (Charles Daly 930.347) wears Mossy Oak Greenleaf on the stock and metal.
Charles Daly 335 Maxi-Mag 12 Gauge Pump Overview
The 335 Maxi-Mag pairs a 24 inch barrel with a 5+1 magazine tube, a length that swings quickly in a blind or turkey setup yet still carries enough sight radius for passing ducks. 5 inch gun. That light weight is great for long walks in the timber, but it also means heavy magnum loads will kick hard. A fiber optic front bead is easy to see at dawn, and the receiver carries a Picatinny rail for a red dot or turkey optic.
Chokes for Turkey and Waterfowl
Charles Daly includes modified and full tubes plus an extended extra-extra-full turkey choke, all in the Beretta/Benelli Mobil thread pattern. Use the modified tube for decoying ducks with steel shot, and the turkey choke with lead, Hevi-Shot or TSS loads for gobblers. Always check a choke’s marking before shooting steel or other hard shot through a tight constriction.
3.5 Inch Shells
The 3.5 inch chamber gives you access to the heaviest waterfowl and turkey loads, but you do not have to shoot them. The gun also handles 2.75 and 3 inch shells, which are cheaper and far more comfortable for practice and early season birds. Pattern your turkey load on paper at 20, 30 and 40 yards before the season.
Choosing Shells
Pattern your shotgun with several loads at the distances you expect to shoot, since every barrel and choke combination behaves differently. Use the right shot size for your game or target and follow local rules on nontoxic shot where required.
Fit and Mounting
A shotgun that fits lets you look straight down the rib with your cheek firmly on the stock. Practice smooth gun mounts at home with an unloaded gun to build consistency in the field and on the clay range.
Care and Maintenance
Clean the bore, chokes and action after each outing, especially after rain or salt water. A light coat of oil on metal parts and a clean action keep the shotgun running reliably for years.
Ownership Notes
The 335 is a value-priced pump; expect a stiff action until it breaks in and basic fit and finish. Camo dip finishes can wear at contact points over years of hard use. Lipsey’s lists it as compliant in all states.
Choke Selection
Tighter chokes such as modified and full extend effective range for waterfowl and turkey, while improved cylinder and skeet chokes open patterns for close birds and clay targets. Always use chokes rated for the shot you are shooting, especially steel.
Recommended Accessories
Eye and ear protection, a cleaning kit, extra choke tubes and a padded case are smart additions. Hunters may want a sling, while clay shooters often add a shell pouch and recoil reducing pad.
