I shoot a 20 gague CZ Sharptail in my club's SXS shoots with good results. Thus far after about 10,000 rounds I have not experienced any issues. The trigger pull is in the 5# range from factory with no trigger issues some others have expressed. The only modification that has been done is a mid bead sight has been added. Other than this the gun is an off the shelf stock gun. And, yes I'd buy another one if I was in the need of another.

Steve Gould, exhibition and trick shooter, does gun reviews on his Target Focus YouTube Channel. He recently did a review on the Sharptail. If you are interested in a side by side I believe you would find good interest in his review of the Sharptail. Just Google CZ Sharptail review and it will be one of several listed.

Wishing All ... Good Shooting.

I bought a CZ bobwhite g2 20ga about 4 years ago. I've used it for recreational clays and upland hunting. Maybe 2k rounds through it so far. No problems and no complaints. At the time, police discount price was $500.

I could not match the features quality and price anywhere else. I would buy another one, even at full retail.

 

My brother has a Bobwhite G2 20ga. It doesn't get fired much. I've carried it for a day, and overall it seemed like a decent gun for the money. Except it is very stiff to start.

One thing I'd be aware of is the triggers. A friend got a Bobwhite G2, and the triggers were extremely heavy.

 

The CZ SxS do look good but I’d save money & try to find a Browning SxS (Japanese) as IMOO & talking w/ the guys at the Club a much better gun. FWIW I own a 452 .22 cal rifle and that thing is a tack driver for the $$$! Too bad they quit making the Mauser action rifles - I ALMOST bought an African series in .416 Rigby- one never knows when one will run into a huge bull Africanus Loxtonda

 

The difference is you're talking about at least a $1500 price difference between the CZ and the lowest grade of Browning. Even a FAIR is going to be $1k more.

Are they better? Sure, but probably won't make enough of a difference to make a difference for intended use. I have a good friend and hunting buddy that has an H&H for show. Since shooting my CZ, he bought one and it's the gun he actually carries in the field. He's situated well enough that if it ever breaks, he'll just buy another one.

 

Well I guess.....Throw away gun!

 

Based upon the feedback on the G2, probably not. I will not wear mine out in my lifetime. I doubt most people will. This is not intended or marketed as a 50k round clays gun nor do most people need one of those to shoot a few hundred rounds a year and kill some pheasants.

It's not that the B gun won't wear out too with the very high round count, it will. It's that the B gun has a known path of repair and refurbishment when it does wear out.

I'd certainly spend $1k to repair the $3k B gun, where at the same point I could spend the same money to replace the CZ.

The choice is do I buy the B gun that I'm worried about scratching, or the CZ that I have no qualms about going through woods, streams, foul weather and generally using in the field?

Want to see a grown man cry? Just watch what happens when his Kolar falls off a tailgate onto a gravel driveway.

I’ve witnessed a $13,000 Kolar fall off the cart I was pushing. Thank GOD it wasn’t my cart or that I put that gun on it.

 

The comment was directed to the post about something about if the gun went bad the person would just get a new one. Y’all
need to learn to read as I wasn’t making a derogatory comment! Ease up. Francis!

 

Gentlemen,
The CZ/Huglu SXS double guns have come a long way in the past few years, I own and use both a CZ Bob White G2, 28 gauge and a Huglu 200A, 28 gauge. Shoot Clays and hunt with both guns, have about 1000 shells thru each gun, and I have been very impressed with both these Turkish made double guns.
Now do not get me wrong they do not have the L.C. Smith or LeFever quality, however for the money I payed for both these mid level guns, they are more than worth the money I payed for them. The CZ Bob White is an entry level gun, but quality wise it's a good mid level gun, the 200A gun is a higher quality gun all the way with Beretta type SST and Beretta screw in chokes, weighing in at 5.2lbs, it is a serious Grouse gun with 3" chambers. Depending on which Turkish made gun a sportsman purchased, they are now worth owning, mine have had zero problems. I also purchased a Mossberg Silver Reserve II, 28/20 O/U combo gun and it has zero problems also, we use this gun shooting Clays and dog training quite a bit. Further I just purchased a Tristar Bristol Silver 16 gauge and it functions perfectly also. Now a few years back the entry level Turkish made guns were not worth purchasing, however all that has changed and the guns we now own prove it. Choose wisely and the Turkish made guns are now worth owning, especially for the money expended.

all the best,

CZ SXS Bob White 28 gauge double gun on a true 28 gauge steel frame, we shoot Clays & hunt Grouse & Woodcock with it, real nice Box Lock 28 gauge SXS double gun, for the money expended.

Mossberg Box Lock O/U on a 20 gauge frame, SR II 28/20 Combo-Gun in a Browning 2 barrel case, well worth the money we payed for it.

 

I saw a 12g bobwhite G2 at Walmart for sale yesterday for $650. That surprised me.

 

I have to agree that the Turkish doubles have gotten notably better in recent years. I think most of this is market driven. 20 years ago when the Turks were entering the American market, they really did not understand how Americans use our guns. The idea of a 50k round gun was just not within their norm or a reasonable expectation to them. Now I think the large makers, ATA, Yildiz, Huglu/CZ build a gun that will go the distance. I can find nothing wrong with my CZ and nothing touches it anywhere near the price point.
