Description
The CZ Bobwhite G2 28 Ga, 28″ Barrel, 3″, Straight English Style Stock Black Chrome is a side-by-side shotgun designed for fast, instinctive shooting in the field. It combines classic aesthetics with modern manufacturing for a reliable upland and small game hunting tool. With a straight English-style stock and 28-gauge chambering, it prioritizes quick handling and a lighter recoiling experience over high-volume firepower.
Key Features
- Straight English Stock: Designed for fast mounting and intuitive pointability, ideal for flushing birds in dense cover.
- 28-Gauge Chamber (3″): Offers a balanced mix of effective pattern density with significantly less recoil than a 20 or 12 gauge.
- Black Chrome Finish: Provides durable corrosion resistance that stands up to moisture and brush without constant polishing.
- Double Triggers: Allows instant selection of barrel (choke) without a mechanical selector—pull the front trigger for the first barrel, the rear for the second.

Who This Shotgun Is For
This is a specialist’s tool. It’s for the upland hunter chasing quail, woodcock, or grouse in tight timber where a fast, first-shot opportunity is everything. The straight stock shines when you need to mount and fire in one motion as a bird flushes. It’s also an excellent choice for a seasoned shooter looking for a more refined, challenging, and low-recoil experience in the field. That said, it’s not a high-volume waterfowl gun or a tactical home defense firearm—its purpose is defined and focused.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Extremely fast and natural pointability. The 28-gauge offers effective performance with mild recoil, making long days in the field more pleasant. The black chrome finish is low-maintenance and tough. The double triggers provide immediate, manual choke selection. Its classic look stands out in a world of synthetic stocks.
Cons: The straight stock and double triggers have a learning curve for shooters used to pistol grips and single selective triggers. Ammunition cost and variety for 28-gauge is higher and less common than for 12 or 20 gauge. The lighter weight can mean more perceived recoil with maximum 3-inch loads compared to a heavier gun.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the straight stock difficult to use for someone used to a pistol grip?
A: It requires a different technique. You don’t “pull” it into your shoulder like a pistol-grip stock; you place the butt in the hollow of your shoulder and push forward, leading with your head. Once mastered, it’s often faster for instinctive shooting.
Q: What chokes does it come with?
A: The CZ Bobwhite G2 typically comes with a set of five interchangeable choke tubes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full), providing flexibility for different game and ranges.
Q: Can it handle steel shot for waterfowl?
A: With the appropriate aftermarket choke tubes rated for steel shot—such as those from brands like Briley or Carlson’s—and using 28-gauge steel loads that are available, it can be used for waterfowl within its effective range. Always check choke compatibility first.
