Description
The CZ REDHEAD PREMIER is a purpose-built over/under shotgun engineered for competitive clay target shooting. With a 30-inch barrel, extended chokes, and a specialized 10mm stepped rib, this 12-gauge delivers the consistent pointability and swing dynamics needed to dominate sporting clays and trap fields. It’s a dedicated competition tool that fits out of the box, requiring no gunsmithing to start breaking targets.
When you shoulder a shotgun on the stand, waiting for the call, you need a system that becomes an extension of your intention. The CZ REDHEAD PREMIER Target is that system. It’s not a field gun dressed up; it’s built from the ground up to crush clays. Here’s the thing—the difference is in the details engineered for repeatable performance under pressure.
- Extended Chokes: Provides optimal patterning for varied target presentations and allows for quick, tool-free changes between stations.
- 10mm Stepped Rib: A competition-grade sighting plane that reduces glare and promotes a consistent, heads-up shooting posture for faster target acquisition.
- Monte Carlo Stock: Designed with a raised comb to align your eye perfectly with the rib, shot after shot, improving sight picture and reducing felt recoil.
- Laser-Cut Checkering: Offers a secure, non-slip grip in all weather conditions, ensuring control doesn’t slip when your hands do.
- Silver Finish: A durable, corrosion-resistant finish that stands up to the elements and the wear of frequent range use.

This shotgun is for the shooter who has moved past casual weekend clays and is committed to lowering their score. It’s for the competitor who understands that an 8.9-pound weight in a 30-inch barrel configuration isn’t a burden—it’s a stabilizer that smooths your swing and soaks up recoil for follow-up shots. At $1340.99, it represents a serious entry into the dedicated target gun category without the custom-shop price tag. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The specialized target features like the stepped rib and Monte Carlo stock provide a tangible competitive edge. The build quality and finish are robust for high-volume shooting. It uses common Beretta/Benelli Mobil-style chokes, giving you vast aftermarket patterning options from brands like Carlson’s or Briley. The heft manages recoil effectively.
Cons: The 8.9-pound weight is ideal for the range but makes it less suitable for field carry. The dedicated target configuration limits its versatility for hunting. The two-round capacity is standard for the discipline but requires precise first shots.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What chokes does it use and are they included?
A: The CZ Redhead Premier Target utilizes the common Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke thread pattern. It comes equipped with a set of extended choke tubes, typically including Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full, providing immediate versatility for different clay games.
Q: Is the Monte Carlo stock adjustable?
A: The stock is a fixed, traditional Monte Carlo design. It is not adjustable, but its dimensions are engineered for an optimal heads-up shooting stance common in target sports. For a perfect custom fit, the stock can be professionally cut and shimmed.
Q: How does it handle different 12-gauge loads?
A: Built for the range, it cycles reliably with standard target loads (2 ¾-inch, 1145-1200 fps). Its 3-inch chamber can handle heavier field loads, but the gun’s balance and purpose are optimized for the consistent, lower-recoil ammunition used in competition.
