Description
You’ve been on the move since dawn, the Missouri timber thick around you. A grouse flushes, a blur of motion and sound. You need a shotgun that’s an extension of your intent—light, fast, and utterly reliable. That’s the moment you understand the CZ 628 FIELD SELECT. It’s not just a tool; it’s your advantage when the action is sudden and the margin for error is zero.
The CZ 628 FIELD SELECT is a lightweight, 28-gauge pump-action shotgun built for the upland hunter. Chambered in 28 gauge with a 5-round capacity, it features a gauge-specific aluminum receiver, select Turkish walnut stock, and comes with five interchangeable chokes for versatile field performance. At 5.4 pounds and with a 28-inch barrel, it’s designed for all-day carry and fast handling.
When it comes to putting miles behind you in search of birds, every ounce matters. The CZ 628 FIELD SELECT addresses this with a purpose-built 7075 aluminum action. This isn’t a scaled-down 12-gauge frame; it’s engineered specifically for the 28 gauge, which shaves critical weight without sacrificing durability. The result is a shotgun that clocks in at a mere 5.4 pounds. That lightness translates directly to less fatigue and quicker swings when a bird presents itself. The deep, glossy blue finish on the metalwork isn’t just for show—it’s a durable layer of protection against the elements you’ll face in the field.
Control and customization are where this pump gun separates itself. The full-length forend and contoured pistol grip, crafted from select-grade Turkish walnut, provide a secure, comfortable hold whether you’re pushing through brush or mounting for a shot. This shotgun is drop-in ready with a set of five interchangeable chokes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full). This lets you precisely tune your pattern for different game and distances, from close-cover grouse to passing doves. The 28-inch barrel provides a smooth swing and a clean sight plane, while the 5+1 capacity gives you ample shots before a reload is necessary.
Here’s the thing—a hunting shotgun must be a trusted partner. The robust pump action is simple, proven, and less susceptible to environmental grit than more complex mechanisms. The design prioritizes balance, so the 5.4-pound weight is distributed in a way that feels natural, not muzzle-heavy. At a price point of $503.99, it represents a significant value, offering features and fit often found on guns costing considerably more. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.

It’s also an ideal choice for a younger or smaller-framed shooter who needs a lightweight, low-recoil option that doesn’t feel like a toy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 28 gauge powerful enough for hunting?
A: Absolutely. The 28 gauge is a highly effective and efficient cartridge for upland birds and small game. It offers ample power with significantly less recoil and weight than a 12 or 20 gauge, making it a favorite among seasoned hunters for its shootability and challenge.
Q: What chokes are included and are they compatible with other brands?
A: The CZ 628 FIELD SELECT comes with five CZ-branded choke tubes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. They use a common thread pattern, specifically the Beretta/Benelli Mobilchoke system, meaning a wide array of aftermarket tubes from brands like Carlson’s or Trulock will also fit.
Q: Is this a good first shotgun?
A: For a new hunter focused on bird hunting, it can be an excellent choice. Its light weight and mild recoil make it easy to handle and practice with. The simple pump action is easy to learn and maintain. Just be prepared for the slightly higher cost and lower availability of 28-gauge target loads compared to 12 or 20 gauge.
