Description
The CZ BOBWHITE G2 is a modernized, no-nonsense side-by-side shotgun. It takes a classic double-trigger, straight-grip field gun design and updates it with a CNC-machined receiver and a durable black chrome finish for better rust resistance. At its core, it’s a reliable, quick-handling two-shot built for the uplands and clay fields, shipping with five choke tubes for versatility right out of the box. I’ve put a few hundred target and hunting loads through one, and it’s a shooter that fits out of the box without any fuss.
Here’s the thing—while it looks traditional, the G2’s updates are all about longevity and handling. That CNCed receiver isn’t just for show; it tightens up the action, making the lockup crisp and the overall profile slimmer in the hand. The 28-inch barrels are perfectly balanced, and at 7.3 lbs., it carries easily all day but still swings smoothly on crossing shots. The black chrome finish is a practical win, shrugging off moisture and field wear far better than traditional bluing while keeping a clean, understated look.

This isn’t a safe queen. The CZ Bobwhite G2 is for the hunter who covers ground—the walker chasing pheasants in Missouri’s CRP or quail in the hedgerows. It’s for the shooter who appreciates the simplicity and speed of a double-trigger setup, where your finger selects the barrel. It also makes a fantastic introductory side-by-side or a dedicated clay gun for sporting clays courses that value presentation. With a price point of $606.59, it delivers serious value in a handsomely finished package.
Pros: The handling is immediate and intuitive—the straight grip and double triggers create a direct connection between you and the shot. The choke system is versatile, and the finish is genuinely tough. It’s a classic design without classic-gun maintenance headaches. Cons? It’s a two-shot, so you need to make them count. The straight stock has a learning curve if you’re used to a pistol grip, and some purists might miss the case-colored receiver, though the black chrome is arguably more practical.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the chokes compatible with other brands?
A: The Bobwhite G2 uses the common, industry-standard Invector-style choke threads. This means you have a wide range of aftermarket options from major manufacturers like Briley, Carlson’s, and Trulock for specialized hunting or competition.
Q: Is the black chrome finish durable?
A: Yes, significantly more so than traditional bluing. Black chrome is an electroplated finish that is much harder and provides excellent resistance to rust, scratches, and the general wear of field use. It wipes down easily and maintains its look with minimal care.
Q: Is this a good first side-by-side?
A: Absolutely. The combination of modern reliability, a manageable weight, and the included choke set makes it an excellent entry point. The double triggers teach barrel selection instinctively, and the overall quality at this price is hard to beat. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases when you order online.
If you’re looking for a field-proven, quick-handling double that blends traditional form with modern function, the CZ Bobwhite G2 deserves a close look. This shotgun is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide to compliant states.
