Description
Picture this: a coyote is working the treeline at the edge of your property, or a flock of doves is dipping into a cut cornfield. You need a shotgun that shoulders fast, cycles reliably, and doesn’t punish your wallet. That’s the exact scenario where the CZ 712 G2 Semi Auto 12 Ga 3 Chamber 28 4rd Turkish Walnut Stock Matte Black Chrome shines. It’s a gas-operated, 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun built for real-world use, blending classic aesthetics with modern function.
The CZ 712 G2 is a versatile 12-gauge semi-auto built for hunters and shooters who demand reliability without the premium price tag. It features a 28-inch barrel, a 3-inch chamber, a 4+1 capacity, and combines a Turkish walnut stock with a matte black chrome metal finish for a look that works in the field or on the range. This shotgun is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Let’s break down what makes it work. The heart of the system is a proven gas-operated action. This design soaks up recoil far better than a recoil-operated gun, making follow-up shots quicker and your shoulder happier after a long day. It’s designed to cycle a wide range of loads, from light target loads to heavier 3-inch hunting shells—no gunsmithing required to switch between them. The 28-inch barrel provides a smooth, consistent swing for wingshooting, and the chrome-lined bore resists corrosion and is easy to clean. Look, you want a tool that just works, and the gas system here delivers that.
The Turkish walnut stock isn’t just for show. It provides a solid, traditional anchor point that many shooters prefer over synthetic, and it’s paired with a matte black chrome finish on the metalwork. This combo is tough, resists fingerprints, and handles the elements without fuss. The shotgun comes with a set of five choke tubes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full) giving you immediate flexibility for anything from close-range clays to passing geese. With an overall length of 49 inches and a weight around 7.3 pounds, it balances well and won’t feel cumbersome in a blind or while walking a field.

Every tool has its trade-offs. The pros are clear: reliable gas-operated performance, classic and durable aesthetics, and immediate out-of-the-box versatility with included chokes. The walnut stock and chrome finish offer a step up in appearance from basic synthetic models. At $459.46, it sits in a sweet spot of value. On the cons side, the fixed 4-round magazine tube isn’t as easily expanded as some competing models, and the traditional stock dimensions may not suit every shooter without adjustment. That said, for the price, you’re getting a lot of proven shotgun.
So who is this for? It’s for the Missouri waterfowler needing a dependable, weather-resistant gun for the marsh. It’s for the upland hunter covering miles who appreciates the recoil reduction of a gas gun. It’s for the recreational clays shooter or the landowner who wants a capable, multi-role shotgun for sport and security. If you need a workhorse semi-auto that looks good doing it, this CZ fits the bill.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What chokes does it come with and are they compatible with other brands?
A: It includes five CZ-branded choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F). These use a common thread pattern and are often compatible with chokes from brands like Carlson’s or Briley made for the CZ 712 series, but always verify thread specs before purchasing aftermarket tubes.
Q: Can the magazine capacity be increased?
A: The magazine tube is fixed and not designed for simple extension by the end user. The capacity is 4 rounds in the tube plus 1 in the chamber. Some gunsmiths may offer modification services, but it is not a drop-in process.
Q: Is it reliable with light target loads?
A: Yes, the gas system is designed to cycle a wide range of ammunition, from light 2¾-inch target loads (typically 1-1/8 oz or heavier) up to 3-inch magnums. For absolute reliability with the lightest loads, ensuring the gas system is clean is key.
