- Polished Nickel Chrome Receiver: Provides a distinctive, corrosion-resistant finish that stands out from standard blued models.
- Automatic Ejectors & Full Forend: Ejects spent shells automatically for faster follow-ups; the full forend offers a secure, traditional grip.

Weighing in at a manageable 6.9 pounds, this 20-gauge balances well for its 28-inch barrel length, promoting a smooth swing. The solid mid-rib adds stability and a clean sight picture. It ships in a protective hard case, which is a nice touch at this price point—often an add-on cost with other brands. Here’s the thing: you’re getting features typically found on guns several hundred dollars more.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is ideal for the upland hunter or recreational clays shooter who appreciates traditional craftsmanship but is budget-conscious. It’s for the shooter who wants a reliable, elegant workhorse that doesn’t require babying in the field. The 20-gauge chambering in 2 3/4″ makes it a great choice for those sensitive to recoil or pursuing lighter game like dove and quail.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional value for hand engraving and grade III wood. The polished nickel finish is durable and distinctive. The complete package—with case and five chokes—means you’re ready to shoot immediately. The 20-gauge offers lighter weight and reduced recoil compared to 12-gauge models, a practical tradeoff for all-day carry.
Cons: At just over six and a half pounds, some may find it slightly muzzle-heavy for a 20-gauge. The 2-round capacity is standard for an O/U but limits you versus a semi-auto. The polished finish, while beautiful, can show fingerprints and glare more than a matte finish—a minor consideration for a field gun.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What chokes does it use, and are more available?
A: It uses CZ’s extended choke tube system (threaded for Mobil-style patterns). The five included chokes cover all needs, but additional tubes from brands like Carlson’s or Briley that are compatible with CZ Supreme Field models will work.
Q: Is this suitable for a beginner?
A: It can be, thanks to the mild 20-gauge recoil. However, its price and craftsmanship make it a gun you’ll grow into, not out of. The fit and finish are excellent for a first quality shotgun, assuming the budget allows.
Q: How does it compare to a Browning Citori?
A: The Citori is a benchmark, but often starts at a higher price for similar engraving and wood grade. The CZ Supreme Field gets you about 90% of the way there for less money, making it a strong ‘bang-for-buck’ alternative. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, and this model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
If you’ve been looking for an over/under that bridges the gap between mass-produced and custom, the CZ Supreme Field represents a smart investment. Its combination of handwork, reliable mechanics, and complete kit at $1423.79 makes it a standout value for the serious shooter who watches the bottom line.
