Customer Reviews for CZ 712 G2 28" 12 Gauge Shotgun

I could not be happier with the purchase of my CZ 712 G2 from Bud's Gun Shop. I have been a Remington 1100 shotgun fan since childhood, but recently decided I would like to try a different brand of shotgun for the upcoming dove season. I have been researching several different semi-auto shotguns from different manufacturers, to include Weatherby, Tristar, Stevens, and finally decided to go with CZ. Bud's made the purchase, FFL locator, and shipping process simple and quick. Once the gun arrived I cleaned it, lubricated it, and assembled it. I was able to go out yesterday and run several boxes of light bird loads through it without a single hiccup. The gun shot cycled smooth, patterned well with the choke I inserted, and the recoil was very minimal. I am looking forward to September 1st, and opening day of this year's dove season.

I really like this shotgun. It’s my first semi auto. After about 100 rounds through it I’m getting used to it enough to be able to hit clays with it. Have shot mostly target loads down to 1180 ft./s Not one malfunction.
The walnut on my gun is really nice for this price range. It comes with a hard case that is the nicest gun case I own. You do have to take the barrel off to fit it in the case. 5 choke tubes.
I expected it to take a while to get it. Bud’s shipped it within a couple days And it got to the FFL quicker than I expected.

First off, Buds has an excellent layaway program. Now for the review of CZ 712 G2. This shotgun comes with 5 choke tubes and tube wrench. Also a hard plastic case. It was in a purple cloth. Impressive. I cleaned everything, reassembled and today shot about 250 rounds. This gun likes a hotter shell to work the action. Maybe 5 stovepipes out of three different kinds of shells. The best performance came from shells that were 1255 fps. Maybe after a few more trips to the range it will loosen up a bit. I would definitely buy another CZ product.

Nice , but I did expect it to be smoother than it actually is. The piston should take up more of the recoil. In honesty , I have not used it enough , maybe it will settle later with more use.

Great shotgun for the price or a couple hundreds more. I would give 5 stats but there are some finish issues on the stock. I sent one back because the stock was scratched on both sides. The 2nd gun I received had some finish issues as well, but I did not want to send it back again. Gun is light, well balanced and has handled a wide variety of 12 gauge shells. Overall, I am very happy. I do wish the stock would have been perfect, but I can live with it.
