Stevens 320 Field Shotgun 12 Gauge 28 in Mossy Oak
Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 7.60 lbs — 0.8 lbs lighter than the Mossberg 500 Field model
- 28-inch barrel with vent rib — reduces weight and improves sight alignment
- 5+1 capacity — standard for field use without extended tubes
- Mossy Oak camo finish — effective concealment in grass and brush environments
Trade-offs
- Fixed modified choke only — limits pattern versatility for different game, requiring $20-40 per additional choke
- Pump action requires break-in — first 200 rounds may feel stiff compared to smoother actions like the Beretta A300
- Synthetic stock lacks adjustment — no length or comb height options, unlike higher-end shotguns

About this product
The Stevens 320 Field Shotgun 12 Gauge 28 in Mossy Oak is a pump-action shotgun designed for field hunting applications with Mossy Oak camo furniture. It combines a 28-inch vent-rib barrel with a modified choke and fiber optic sight, weighing 7.60 lbs and measuring 48.7 inches overall. Built for reliability in upland and turkey environments, it offers straightforward operation and a 5+1 capacity.
What is the Stevens 320 Field Shotgun used for?
This shotgun is optimized for upland bird and turkey hunting in wooded or grassy environments. Its Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades camo pattern provides effective concealment, while the 28-inch barrel and modified choke deliver balanced patterns for shots within 40 yards. The fiber optic front sight enhances target acquisition in low-light conditions typical of dawn or dusk hunts.
How does the Stevens 320 Field Shotgun compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U?
The Stevens 320 is better for rugged field use and rapid follow-up shots, while the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U excels in controlled clay shooting scenarios. The 320’s pump action allows for quicker cycling in adverse conditions, but the 555’s over-under design offers faster second-shot readiness with its dual barrels. For hunters prioritizing durability and cost-efficiency, the 320 provides superior value at $279.99 versus the 555’s higher price point.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This shotgun weighs 7.60 lbs (121.6 oz) and measures 48.7 inches in overall length with a 28-inch barrel. The synthetic stock contributes to its manageable weight, making it suitable for extended carries through fields. The barrel’s vent-rib design reduces weight slightly and aids in heat dissipation during rapid firing sequences.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun is not ideal for competitive trap or skeet shooters who require specialized chokes or smoother actions. The pump mechanism, while reliable, lacks the refined feel of higher-end models like the Beretta A300, and the fixed modified choke limits versatility for varied target distances. Hunters seeking lightweight options for mountain pursuits might prefer the the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win for its 6.5 lb weight.
What's in the box?
The package includes the shotgun with Mossy Oak synthetic stock, one modified choke tube (Win choke pattern 1/2-32UN), and a fiber optic front sight pre-installed. No additional chokes or cleaning kits are provided, which is standard for field-grade shotguns at this price. Buyers should budget for a case and choke tool if patterning different loads.
Is the Stevens 320 Field Shotgun worth it at $279.99?
Yes, it offers exceptional value for hunters needing a dependable, camo-clad shotgun without breaking the bank. The 5+1 capacity and drilled receiver for optics mounting add versatility, though the pump action requires practice for smooth operation. Compared to Mossberg’s 500 Field model at $350, the Stevens 320 saves $70 while delivering similar performance in field conditions.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with aftermarket chokes?

- Does it fit in a standard shotgun case?
- Yes, its 48.7-inch length requires a case rated for 50 inches or longer, such as Plano’s All-Weather 52-inch model. Most universal cases accommodate this size, but always verify internal dimensions before purchase.
