Description
The CZ Redhead Premier All-Terrain 12 Ga, 30″ Barrel, OD Green, Walnut Stock, 2rd is a purpose-built over/under shotgun designed for the demanding waterfowler and upland hunter who operates in wet, muddy, and abrasive environments. It combines classic aesthetics with modern, corrosion-resistant materials to deliver reliable performance when the conditions are at their worst.
Key Features:
- All-Terrain Finish: The OD Green Cerakote finish on the receiver and 30-inch barrels provides a durable, non-reflective shield against moisture, salt, and abrasion.
- Walnut & Utility: A satin-finished Turkish walnut stock offers traditional beauty, while the textured grip and fore-end ensure control with wet hands or gloves.
- Hunting-Optimized Barrel: The long 30″ barrels with 3″ chambers and fixed chokes (Improved Cylinder & Modified) provide a smooth swing and effective patterns for pass-shooting and field loads.
- Mechanical Reliability: A single selective mechanical trigger and automatic ejectors offer consistent, hands-free operation when you need to follow up quickly.

Who It’s For: This shotgun is for the hunter who doesn’t call it a day when the skies open up. It’s built for the Missouri waterfowler standing in a flooded timber hole, the pheasant hunter pushing through dew-soaked CRP grass, or anyone who needs a tool that won’t falter in precipitation and muck. The 30-inch barrel length, a specific data point that affects balance and swing, is ideal for creating a long, smooth follow-through on crossing shots over decoys or in open fields.
Pros & Cons:
Pros: The corrosion-resistant Cerakote is a legitimate advantage in humid climates and blind environments. The mechanical trigger and ejectors are simple and dependable. The walnut stock provides a classic feel that’s often missing from purely tactical guns. At $921.66, it represents a solid value in the durable over/under market. Here’s the thing—it’s a working gun first, with the finish to prove it.
Cons: The fixed chokes limit versatility compared to models with interchangeable tubes. The two-round capacity is standard for the platform but a limitation for some high-volume scenarios. The 30″ barrel can feel long and less maneuverable in extremely tight cover.
Weighing approximately 7.5 pounds, this shotgun manages recoil effectively while maintaining a pointable heft. It’s compatible with a wide range of standard 12-gauge ammunition, from light target loads to 3″ magnum waterfowl shells from brands like Federal, Winchester, and Fiocchi. The build quality is such that it fits out of the box and is ready for the field with no gunsmithing required, a key point of reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the chokes really fixed, and can they be changed?
A: Yes, this model comes with fixed Improved Cylinder and Modified chokes. They are not user-interchangeable. This setup is ideal for general hunting where quick transitions between close and moderate ranges are needed without fiddling with tubes.
Q: Is the OD Green finish just cosmetic?
A: No. The Cerakote ceramic-based finish is applied for corrosion and wear resistance. It’s significantly more durable than traditional bluing, protecting the steel from rust caused by constant exposure to moisture, sweat, and abrasive brush.
Q: What is the warranty and where can I get it?
A: CZ-USA provides a 5-year warranty. This firearm is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide. All purchases require an FFL transfer for firearm purchases to ensure legal compliance.
