Specifications & Details
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Gauge/Caliber | .410 Bore (3″) |
| Barrel Length | 28 inches |
| Overall Length | Approx. 45.5 inches |
| Weight | Approx. 6.3 lbs |
| Capacity | 2 Rounds |
| Chokes | Fixed (likely Improved Cylinder & Modified) |
Weighing in at roughly 6.3 pounds, the Sharp-Tail handles lightly, which is a plus for long walks in the field. The fixed chokes (typically Improved Cylinder and Modified) are a practical trade-off at this price point—they’re simple and reliable, though they lack the versatility of interchangeable tubes found on more expensive guns. That said, this choke combination is perfectly suited for the .410’s typical role on small game and close-range clays. The price of $1069.62 positions it as a value-focused alternative to higher-end American or Italian doubles that can cost two or three times as much.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This CZ is for the shooter who appreciates classic aesthetics but has a practical budget. It’s an ideal first side-by-side for a new hunter, a dedicated .410 enthusiast looking for a quality field gun, or a clay shooter wanting a fun challenge on the skeet or sporting clays range. It’s also a great choice for a younger or smaller-framed shooter due to the .410’s light recoil. The gun is drop-in ready for its intended use—no gunsmithing required to start hunting or shooting.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Outstanding value for a finished gun with case coloring and real walnut. The .410 bore is low-recoil and economical to shoot with target loads. The 28″ barrel offers a classic profile and smooth swing. CZ’s reputation for reliable imports adds confidence.
Cons: The .410 has limited range and power compared to 20 or 12 gauges. Fixed chokes limit versatility. Some purists note the action is manufactured by Huglu in Turkey, not in the Czech Republic—but the quality control and finish are overseen by CZ.
Here’s the thing—while the .410 requires more skill for clean kills on game or breaking distant clays, mastering it is part of the appeal. The cartridge itself is a specific data point: it fires a 2.5″ or 3″ shell with a standard shot payload of 11/16 oz to 7/8 oz. Compared to investing in a used American double, this new CZ offers predictable quality and a modern warranty, a solid bang-for-buck proposition for a specific niche.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .410 bore suitable for hunting turkey or waterfowl?
A: For turkey, with specialized TSS loads in 3″ shells, it can be effective at close range in expert hands. For waterfowl, it is generally not recommended or legal due to its limited range and payload; always check specific state and federal regulations.
Q: Can the chokes be changed or is the barrel threaded for tubes?
A: This model features fixed chokes. The barrels are not threaded for interchangeable choke tubes, which is a common cost-saving measure that helps keep the price point accessible.
Q: What is the difference between this and a CZ Bobwhite?
A: The Sharp-Tail typically features more elaborate engraving and higher-grade wood than the plainer-finished Bobwhite. Both are built on the same reliable action, so you’re paying primarily for upgraded aesthetics with the Sharp-Tail.
If you’ve been looking for an heirloom-quality side-by-side that won’t break the bank, the CZ Sharp-Tail in .410 delivers classic looks and reliable performance. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
