CZ Ringneck 20 or 28. Trying to find one!

[drakes only]

Anybody know of any dealers with a CZ Ringneck in 20 or 28 gauge? Any owners out there with opinions on the gun?

I think there was a 20 gauge Ringneck on the EE not long ago. You would have to go through the listings to see if it's still there. I didn't have a subgauge but I had a Ringneck 12 gauge. It was a decent gun for the money.

28ga is a tough one. Only remember seeing one on the EE in the last 2 years or so

It seems there is an overall shortage of mid to "higher end" CZ shotguns in Canada.

Irunguns LLC site (the US side) shows stock on both the 20 and 28. Shouldn't be hard to get one of those.

I saw those guns but I'm hoping to go through a Canadian dealer in the event I have warranty concerns. Thanks for the info nonetheless!

Check out Wolverine. They had some CZ's a while ago.

Does it have to be a Ringneck? Epps listed a CZ Canvasback 20 ga. O/U f/s two weeks ago. I p/u'd one from Jo-Brooks. So far so good.

The Bobwhite is a nice gun, I have one in 20 gauge. Haven't handled a Ringneck but would expect much the same. My advice would be to look at it before you buy.

Mine's a 20 ga., too. We weren't sure what to expect in terms of durability with the CZs when they came out, but with the benefit of hindsight, they hold up very well, indeed.

I like your advice. Purchasing a new firearm sight-unseen is just as risky as buying a used one without handling it in person. I've purchased lots of guns over the internet and over the phone, but I agree it's to be avoided where possible. The CZs in particular have been inconsistent at times with the aesthetics of their stocks. I'm sure they're all of the same functional quality, but I wouldn't want to be the guy who gets the one with knots in the wood. Overall, though, the CZs are great value.

Full disclosure: We did not have any relationship with CZ, dealers, or distributors when we wrote this review, before, or since. We bought the guns that we reviewed at retail. No consideration was sought or received for the review.

My thoughts are that the CZs are what they are, which is an inexpensive shotgun compared to traditional side by side or over-under pricing. Those that expect mirror finish bluing and splashy stock wood may be disappointed. I find them to be a good value for the money. As someone here put it, " it ain't no Browning, but neither is the price"..
Mine was an "ordered" gun that the prospective buyer found a reason not to buy, a minor flaw in the wood.

I shot the crap outta my mini Bobwhite in 28 with 7/8oz loads and NEVER had an issue with it, neither does the CGN member who is still using it!:>)

All great discussion guys! Thanks for the feedback as always. Countdown is on for my new gun to arrive and yep, I'm gambling on the wood and aesthetics but that's the chance you take with a special order gun I guess.
