Kansas City, KS (April 15, 2019) – Back by popular demand, and better than ever, the CZ Bobwhite G2 is still a traditional, double-trigger, side-by-side shotgun with an English-style grip.

CZ-USA’s done all this at a price that’s hard to beat.

The Bobwhite G2 has 28-inch. barrel and can be had in 12, 20 or 28 gauge. Also included are five different screw-in choke tubes to modify your pattern for any bird hunting adventure.
For 2019, CZ-USA added floating firing pins, coil-spring operated hammers and redesigned the sears.
Between the straight stock and the updated CNC-ed G2 receiver, the Bobwhite is downright dainty in the smaller gauges; in 28 gauge, it tips the scales at an easy-carrying 5.5 pounds. CZ-USA gave the Bobwhite’s barrels and receiver CZ’s own tough black chrome finish, making this handsome side-by-side less prone to rusting than a blued gun.

Light and rugged, the Bobwhite G2 mounts quickly, swings well, and brings home birds. It’s a shotgun made to work in the field, day in and day out.
