Description
Picture this: you’re moving through a Missouri woodlot at dawn, the underbrush crackling underfoot. A covey erupts—a blur of wings and motion to your left. Your hand instinctively finds the front trigger, the shot breaks, and the gun swings smoothly to the right for the second. That’s the instinctive, fast-handling promise of the CZ BOBWHITE G2. It’s a modernized side-by-side shotgun built for the field, blending classic aesthetics with CNC-machined reliability for the practical shooter who values tradition that works.
The CZ BOBWHITE is a 20-gauge side-by-side shotgun featuring a CNC-machined receiver, double triggers, and an English straight-grip stock. This updated G2 model slims the action for faster handling while improving longevity, all cloaked in a rust-resistant black chrome finish. It’s a purpose-built field gun for instinctive shooting.
Let’s talk about what makes this gun work where it counts. The heart of the Bobwhite G2 is its CNC-machined receiver. This isn’t just for looks—it means tighter tolerances, a slimmer profile that carries and points naturally, and a foundation built for hard use. The modern internals translate to smoother operation and less worry about wear over thousands of cycles. You get a gun that feels like a classic but works with modern precision. At 12.6 lbs., it has a solid, stable feel that soaks up recoil without being cumbersome in the field.
The double triggers are a non-negotiable for a true field side-by-side. Why? Speed and selectivity. The front trigger for the right barrel, the rear for the left—it allows instant, mechanical selection of choke or load without fumbling for a selector. It’s pure muscle memory. Paired with the English-style straight grip, the setup promotes a heads-up, aggressive shooting stance. You’re not hunkered down on a pistol grip; you’re guiding the gun with your forward hand, making those snap shots on flushing birds second nature. The black chrome finish is a practical upgrade, offering significantly better corrosion resistance than traditional bluing when you’re dealing with morning dew, rain, or sweat.

Pros & Cons
The pros are clear: the double-trigger, straight-grip configuration is unmatched for fast, instinctive field shooting. The CNC receiver and modern internals promise greater durability, and the black chrome finish is a legit advantage for all-weather use. The price point of $601.19 is accessible for a gun with these features. The cons? It’s a specialist. The double triggers and straight stock have a learning curve if you’re used to modern repeaters. It’s a two-shot gun, so for some high-volume applications, a pump or semi-auto might be more suitable. That said, for its intended role, it’s focused and effective.
So who is this for? The upland hunter who covers ground and values a fast, pointable gun. The shooter who appreciates mechanical simplicity and classic lines but doesn’t want to baby a wall-hanger. It’s for the Missouri wingshooter chasing quail, grouse, or dove where quick shots at varied ranges are the rule. This gun is drop-in ready for that life—no gunsmithing required to take it from the case to the field. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide to compliant states.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the black chrome finish durable?
A: Yes. CZ’s black chrome finish is specifically engineered to be far more resistant to rust and corrosion than traditional blued steel, making it an excellent choice for humid environments or hard use in the field without constant worry.
Q: What chokes does it use?
A: The CZ Bobwhite G2 typically uses standard, interchangeable choke tubes (often Mobil-style). This gives you flexibility—run Improved Cylinder and Modified for a versatile upland setup, or tighten them up for other uses. Always confirm the specific choke system with the current product details.
Q: Are double triggers difficult to get used to?
A: There’s a short learning period if you’ve only shot single-trigger guns. However, most adapt quickly. The advantage is direct, immediate barrel selection without taking your hand off the grip. For rapid, close-range shots on different targets, many find it faster once mastered.
If a no-nonsense, fast-handling side-by-side built for real field work fits your needs, the CZ Bobwhite G2 is a compelling option. See the full details and availability.
