I have a few CZ shotguns. I think a decent gun for the price point. Quality from my understanding has improved the past few years.
Have a bobwhite and use for quail and Huns. Light and points ok for me.
How much did you pay? Use it for upland?26 inch?

That's a good deal, and just about perfect configuration for a bird gun.

Made in Turkey by Huglu. I think they have leaf springs which can have issues. I prefer coil springs. If you want it tuned up DeHaan Shotguns are worth checking out.

Drummond, I have the same model as yours except in 28 ga. I've shot the chitt out of mine over the last 7 years and it's still as tight as it was when I got it new. I seriously doubt that you can wear it out in your lifetime. Shoot it and enjoy it, then hand it down to one of your kids when they get old enough to hunt.
They retail for around $800, so you made a great deal on your purchase.

CZ makes good guns, wether rifles, handguns or shotguns.
Not very experienced with the Bobwhite model, but I had an O/U made by BRNO (which at one point was also made by CZ, or the other way around :)). ZH301, unusual setup, double trigger (front trigger for top, rear could do both in U/O order). Tough gun, tight action system despite thousands of rounds at clays, doves, ducks and partridges in Peru... and I was the 3rd owner. Sold it when I move to the US, but regret it and would love it back.
Drummond, based on my experience with CZs, you will do well with that gun.

Looks like it's going to be a great season, with all the rain we've had this year. I'm seeing a ton of sunflowers & dove weed this year.

A buddy has the same gun. He has had about the same experience as CI above shoots it all the time no problems and death on birds both clay and real. Nicegrab.
