Been looking at the new Gen2 CZ Bobwhites in 20ga / 28inch barrel and had a question for the group owners about their Bobwhite's weight.

I have a Gen1 version and it's been a great gun and I thought about upgrading to a Gen2 as they list the overall weight as 6 pounds, and I figured it maybe worth it to shed a 1/2 pound. I've always thought the 6 pound range was a great weight for a longer mile upland 20 ga.

I've ran across a few at local gun stores and the local Sportsman Warehouse(s) and everyone I've weighed has been 6# 4oz to 6# 6oz.

Does anyone have; or has anyone seen one in the 6 pound weight range? Or am I looking for hens teeth:-)

CZ has always lied about the weight of their guns.

I have the Gen I.

I have a G2 in 20 gauge and mine is 6.4 pounds. I have heard others comment that theirs are not 6 pounds. I guess when CZ says 6 pounds, they are saying 6 pounds in the broadest sense 6 vs 7 pounds. Regardless, it is still a nice light handling 20 gauge.

A little late to see this post but my G1 20Ga. Bobwhite is 6 lb. 11.2 oz on an accurate scale and my wife's G2 is 6 lb 5.2 oz.

I'd like to add that although they tend to be on the heavy side of their listed weights, all the Huglu guns I own or have owned were nicely balanced and handled well.

I handled a 20ga. yesterday at my LGS for about the third time and I really like it but the triggers are awful.

Nothing new about spec sheet showing optimistic gun weight, even making allowances for wood density.
When did you ever see a Browning Citori or BSS that met the weight specs?
That's why people ask real world questions on the Internet.

I'd agree that CZ's aren't known for having great triggers out of the box. And while I never did it with the CZ Bobwhite/20 that I once had, I did send my CZ Hammer Classic/12 back for a "warranty repair" to lighten the trigger pulls -- and I had it back in under 2 weeks and they did a great job on it. Fast too!

One would hope they'd do that work before they leave Turkey, but I'm guessing "Many complain, but few return them", and they made an economic decision to ship them as they are done.

Anyway, returning it is a pain -- but it's free, other than one-way shipping cost (and the hassle and loss of the gun for 2-3 weeks) -- but it works and fixes the problem.

Hope this helps another CZ owner.
