Description
I was at the range last week, watching a new shooter struggle with a pump-action that just didn’t fit. His arms were too short, his cheek weld was off, and every shot was a fight. It reminded me why a shotgun that adapts to you is such a big deal. That’s the core idea behind the CZ 712 ALS G2 12-26 fully adj. ATI polymer stock 12-14 LOP 3 choke tubes. It’s not just a shotgun; it’s a platform built for customization right out of the box.
So, what is it? The CZ 712 ALS G2 is a 12-gauge, 26-inch barrel semi-automatic shotgun built on CZ’s proven gas-operated action. The “fully adj. ATI polymer stock” is the star, offering a length of pull (LOP) adjustable from 12 to 14 inches without tools. It comes with three choke tubes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, Full) for versatility. This is a ready-to-adapt workhorse designed for everything from clays to field use, priced at $543.78.
Let’s talk about that ATI Talon T6 stock. This isn’t a gimmick. I’ve put a few hundred rounds through this setup, and the ability to dial in the fit in seconds is a genuine advantage. For smaller-statured shooters or youth, shortening the LOP makes the gun far more controllable and improves sight alignment dramatically. For a taller shooter, extending it provides a more comfortable, stable mount. The fact that it’s a drop-in ready system means you get a custom-fit feel without a custom-fit price tag. The stock also features a textured grip and a ventilated comb, which helps manage recoil perception—a nice touch on a gas-operated system that’s already pretty soft-shooting.
The heart of the gun is CZ’s 712 G2 action. It’s a simple, robust gas system that eats a wide variety of loads, from light 2¾-inch target loads I use for sporting clays to heavier 3-inch field loads. The 26-inch barrel is a sweet spot for balance—quick enough for swinging on birds, long enough for a smooth follow-through on the trap field. Weighing in at a manageable 7.1 pounds, it carries easily in the field without feeling whippy or unstable. The chrome-lined bore is a durable feature you often see at a higher price point.

Pros & Cons
The pros are clear: The adjustable stock solves the number one problem for shared or new guns—fit. The CZ action is reliable and low-maintenance. The 26″ barrel and included choke set give you immediate versatility. At just over $540, it represents solid value for a feature set like this. Here’s the thing—the cons are mostly about preferences. The polymer construction keeps the cost down but won’t have the heft of a walnut-stocked gun. The adjustable stock has a modern, tactical aesthetic that might not appeal to a pure traditionalist. Some might prefer a fifth choke tube for specialized use, but the three provided cover 95% of needs.
Who is this for? This is an ideal first semi-auto shotgun, a fantastic loaner/guest gun for a hunt camp, or a primary tool for a shooter whose household has users of different sizes. It’s also a smart choice for a Missouri hunter looking for a single, do-it-all shotgun for turkey, waterfowl (with a non-toxic choke), and upland game, thanks to that adjustable fit and choke system. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the stock adjustment tool-less?
A: Yes. The ATI Talon T6 stock uses a simple locking collar system. You loosen the collar, slide the buttpad to one of the six preset positions, and tighten it back down. No tools, no gunsmithing required.
Q: What choke thread pattern does it use?
A: It uses the common and popular Beretta/Benelli Mobil-style threads, often marketed as CZ’s “Invector Plus.” This means you have a huge aftermarket selection of chokes from brands like Carlson’s, Trulock, and Briley for specialized hunting or competition.
Q: Can the stock be replaced with a standard stock later?
A: Absolutely. The receiver uses a standard shotgun stock mounting system. If you wanted to switch to a traditional fixed stock from brands like Boyd’s or even a CZ factory stock for a different look, it’s a straightforward swap.
If you need a shotgun that can be tailored to fit the shooter, not the other way around, this CZ 712 G2 package is a practical and effective solution worth handling.
