Customer Reviews for CZ Drake 12 Gauge Shotgun

Great product and price and good transaction through Bud’s. I already own same model in 20ga and purchased one in 12ga. Have shot 3 rounds of skeet with it and very pleased. The reason I picked the Drake was no auto safety and extractors rather than ejectors. Also naturally fit me well. Used for skeet and sporting clays. Comes with 5 chokes (with wrench & case) and a nice hard case for gun. Nice My first 20ga had some issues with fit of barrels to reciever. Sent in under warranty and CZ-USA sent me a whole new gun in less than 2 weeks.

I was not sure what to expect when I purchased this shotgun. I needed a gun for sporting clays so I purchased the CZ Drake 12 gauge OU shotgun. My first impression when it arrived was that it appeared to be of good quality. I own 4 other CZ firearms and they have functioned flawlessly. The action was stiff as others stated so I broke it down and cleaned as greased per CZ's recommendations. I took the gun to the range and fired about 50 rounds with different chokes to check the patterns. They were consistent and it was comfortable to hold and shoot. It's an entry level OU so no extensive scrolling or details but it functions well. I've used it for 2 sporting clay events and I like this gun more each time I shoot it. The action is breaking in and for a non nonsense OU you can't go wrong. I highly recommend its purchase.

Purchased a CZ Drake O/U 12ga. from Bud's. Painless, easy, efficient and economical. Would and will buy more firearms from Bud's. Will be using this shotgun for pheasant and chukar hunting.

Picked it up from my FFL and shot two rounds of skeet with it the next morning, after giving the action an application of STOS grease. It functioned perfectly, and I prefer the extractors to ejectors for skeet. It's a field grade gun, and weighs considerably less than my Browning 725 Sporting 32" does, but it breaks clays just fine. Fit is exceptional, finish is typical of CZ, function is excellent. It's a quality firearm that will last a lifetime of hunting, and has five chokes to allow adjustments appropriate for any hunting use. It's probably the best buy in it's price range. It's very tight, but will loosen up as it breaks in, and the lighter weight will be appreciated in the field.

comes in a decent plastic case. the feel of the wood is slightly disappointing, but everything looks great to the eye. The action is extremely stiff on mine. It needs to be polished and broken in. For the price point it is very difficult to find something comparable that isn't an aluminum receiver.

You ever stop at that hole-in-the wall diner in a small midwestern town, and end up having the best bacon cheeseburger in your entire life??? That’s kinda what it’s like owning this shotgun!

I purchased this shotgun for trap, I have several other shotguns, however this is my dedicated trap gun, excellent quality.

Very happy with the drake, highly recommend!

I currently own a Remington 870 Express and after purchasing the CZ over and under Drake 12 gauge shotgun there is absolutely no comparison. This shotgun from CZ is amazing! Not only is it extremely well made, but it is a thing of beauty! Can't wait to use it out in the field.

Great Gun. I was looking for something budget minded but wanted to make sure I got high quality. This gun is a great balance. The only thing I would change about it is the action. The break open action is a little stiff and can get harder to use after shooting some rounds.

Fit and finish are great. The guns shoots and points well. Unfortunately I had to send it back to CZ with a week of getting it because the trigger would not reset when shooting from the bottom barrel first. I have not received the gun back yet but as long as they have fixed it I will be happy.

I think this is a great shotgun. It has taken me some time to learn how to: assemble easily and hold correctly while shooting. I feel that the recoil is a bit too much so I invested in a recoil pad and installed that myself. That has taken out the recoil issue. For the money, it's a great shotgun.

Great over under. Fells very well made and shoots great. Fit and finish are excellent.

A Gun!!!!!!
Ok. For the money i give it 6 stars!
I love seeing people buying expensive guns that shine !
This gun is a CZ. Nothing else to say

Very happy with my purchase. Buds had the best price I could find. The whole purchase process went very smoothly. Also very happy with my new CZ Drake. Fit and finish are very nice. As to be expected with a new gun the break action is a little tight. Nothing a little gun grease and normal breaking time won't cure. I recommend the CZ Drake for someone who is looking for an entry level over under. I recommend you purchase yours from Buds also.

Buds has great service. This shotgun I bought was at a great price. I couldn’t find it anyplace else for a better price. I researched over/under shotguns and finally settled for the Cz Drake. It is probly the best lower priced shotguns that is if a very good quality. The Drake is well manufactured and an all around solid weapon. I test fired it and it was operational as expected. I look forward to shooting clays and upland birds with it. Thanks again Buds for great service as always.

I am really impressed with the quality of this weapon. After getting it back from the the gunsmith for a quick shortening of the stock and installation of an adjustable butt pad, I am really looking forward to summer trap leagues and sporting clays. The action is very smooth, trigger feels great and it hasn't had any FTF. I do recommend installing a better recoil pad since the one that is on it from the factory is pretty much useless unless you are only shooting it a half dozen times in a day. I'm really happy with the stock on the shotgun I received. Grain is beautiful and I'm very happy with the fit and finish of everything. After extensive research and handling the B's and many of the cheaper brands, I don't think there is a better budget over under on the market. Additionally, the extractors we're a big selling point for me, since I will be shooting a decent bit of trap with this shotgun. Only time will tell if this weapon will hold up, but I am confident it will last me a long time shooting a 1000 plus rounds a year.
