Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Stevens Model 311A, produced under the Savage Arms Corporation banner, is one of the most recognizable and widely used American side-by-side shotguns of the mid-20th century. Manufactured primarily from the late 1940s through the 1970s, the 311A continued the long Stevens tradition of offering sturdy, affordable double guns intended for field use rather than fine sporting display. Built with a boxlock action, dual triggers, extractors, and plain walnut stocks, the model emphasized practicality and reliability. It was chambered in a variety of gauges—most commonly 12, 16, 20, and .410 bore—making it accessible to hunters of all skill levels and suitable for everything from small-game to upland birds. Though simple in appearance, the 311A earned a strong reputation for durability and ease of maintenance, traits that endeared it to generations of hunters.

Throughout its production lifespan, the 311A reflected the postwar American demand for dependable working guns at reasonable prices. Savage/Stevens achieved this through efficient manufacturing methods and rugged design choices that allowed the shotgun to withstand hard field use. Over time, incremental updates in stock styling, finishes, and minor mechanical details appeared, but the core action remained unchanged due to its proven reliability. Today, the Stevens 311A is appreciated by collectors as a quintessential “everyman’s” double gun—unpretentious, mechanically sound, and representative of an era when American manufacturers prioritized sturdy construction and affordability. Well-kept examples remain fully serviceable and continue to be used in the field, preserving the long legacy of this iconic utility shotgun.
