Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 101 Field is a classic over-under shotgun renowned for its balance, craftsmanship, and shootability, particularly in upland game and clay shooting applications. Originally introduced in the 1960s and manufactured in Japan by Olin-Kodensha, the 101 quickly earned a reputation for offering high-end features and performance at a more accessible price point. Built on a slim, low-profile receiver, the 101 Field is known for its fast handling and natural pointability—traits that made it a favorite among bird hunters and sporting enthusiasts. Key features of the 101 Field include chrome-lined barrels, ventilated rib, mechanical trigger, and automatic ejectors. Many models feature engraved receivers, high-gloss walnut stocks, and Winchester’s durable bluing on the barrels. The 101 Field has been offered in various gauges over the years—most commonly 12, 20, 28 gauge, and .410 bore—with barrel lengths ranging from 26 to 30 inches. Its fit and finish, especially on earlier models, rival that of much more expensive European over-under shotguns, making it a popular choice among discerning shooters. Although the original 101 production ceased in the late 1980s, the model was later revived by Winchester under the Herstal Group with updated features and modern manufacturing. Still, the original Japanese-made 101 Field models remain particularly sought after for their quality and smooth handling. Their reputation for durability, combined with classic styling and versatile field performance, has cemented the Winchester 101 Field as a timeless and reliable choice for both collectors and avid sportsmen.
