Double Down: CZ-USA’s Best Bet on Upland Shotguns

Mountain hunting and double shotguns go hand in hand. Discerning highland hunters want a shotgun that is light, reliable and lively, all of which add to the enjoyment in the field. CZ rises to the challenge, hand-selecting three of his best double shotguns for fur and feathers. These fine shotguns come with either a black chrome finish or a nail-resistant Cerakote finish and magnetic chambers on the All-Terrain series. Whether it’s a flock on the rise, a reddened rooster, or a scampering rabbit, CZ shotguns are a solid choice.

The CZ All-Terrain Series is a twist on the features and finish of classic shotguns. They are coated in a muted OD green Cerakote finish but retain the traditional walnut stock. The finish makes them ideal for field work, making them nearly impervious to the elements.

All-Terrain upland over/under and side-by-side include a set of rare earth magnets installed in the extractor or ejectors. With these magnets in place, most modern projectiles are retained in the gun even when flipped over. Offroad shotguns come equipped with swivel slings and extended chokes for added versatility.

mountain ultralight It is a trim over-and-under shotgun, ideal for long days in the field. CZ encases the metal in a weather-resistant, non-reflective matte finish and features a sport-style walnut stock.

The Upland Ultralight works like a charm, with a precision CNC cut aluminum alloy frame. On the exterior, the most noticeable feature is the lack of a center rib between the barrels, which removes precious ounces from the ultralight design and gives the shotgun a modern look. The Upland Ultralight is offered in 12 and 20 gauge with a standard finish or as part of the All-Terrain series.

the Duck represents an exceptional value in over-and-under shotguns. It features the same CNC action and internals as other CZ double shotguns and includes an extractor, single selectable trigger and laser cut checkerboard. The Drake is available in 12, 20, 28 and .410 with 28″ barrels, and ships with a set of 5 interchangeable flush chokes (except .410, which has a fixed IC/MOD). Like the Upland Ultralight, the Drake forgoes a center rib between the barrels in favor of less weight. The Drake is offered in a left-handed variant, which is a left-handed release for left-handed shooters.

Two All-Terrain models in 12 and 20 gauge round out the line and feature the durable Cerakote finish and rare earth magnets to hold cartridges where they belong.

Bobwhite G2 CZ The side-by-side shotgun is back by popular demand. The updated Gen 2 has a modern CNC receiver and internals that slim down the action while increasing longevity and reliability. The Bobwhite features dual triggers for on-the-fly choke decisions and an English-style straight grip for comfortable reach on the triggers.

The standard model uses a durable black chrome finish from head to toe, while the All-Terrain model sports a muted OD green Cerakote metal guard. Both finishes resist rust much better than a traditional blued gun.

Built on specific gauge frames, the Bobwhite G2 is available in 12, 20 and 28 gauge. The Bobwhite’s 28″ barrels are threaded for choke tubes and ships with five flush chokes ranging from Barrel to Full. A left-handed variant suits left-handed shooters to enhance success on the field.
