Description
The CZ SUPREME FIELD 12GA is a premium over-under shotgun built for the serious upland hunter or clay shooter who demands reliability and classic aesthetics without a custom shop price tag. It’s a 12-gauge workhorse that balances beautifully in the field, offering the kind of fit and finish that makes you confident on every shot. I’ve put a few hundred rounds of everything from light target loads to 3″ magnums through one, and here’s my take.
Look, an over-under is a personal tool, and this one hits a sweet spot. At 7.9 lbs., it has a solid, substantial feel that soaks up recoil but isn’t so heavy it’s a burden on a long walk. The 28-inch barrels provide a smooth, consistent swing. The price point of $1558.79 positions it as a serious contender against other imported field guns, offering features you often have to pay significantly more to get.
- Hand-Engraved Receiver: Deep, crisp scrollwork on the steel receiver gives it a classic, custom look right out of the box.
- Single Selective Trigger: A mechanical trigger for reliable ignition, with a manual selector to choose which barrel fires first.
- Automatic Ejectors: Spent shells are positively ejected, speeding up reloads in the field or on the sporting clays course.
- Five Choke Tube System: Comes with a set of CZ Extended Choke Tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F), giving you versatility for any game or target presentation.
This isn’t a gun that needs tweaking. The walnut stock is well-fitted, and the action is tight but smooth from the start—no gunsmithing required to get it into the field. It’s a true ready-to-hunt platform. For the Missouri hunter chasing pheasants in CRP or doves over a sunflower field, its handling characteristics are spot-on.

Who it’s for: This shotgun is for the hunter or recreational clays shooter who has moved past entry-level pumps and autos and wants a dedicated, elegant double-gun. It’s for someone who appreciates traditional craftsmanship but also expects modern performance and reliability. If you’re stepping up to your first quality over-under, this is a fantastic place to land.
Pros & Cons
The Good: Exceptional value for the level of finish. The hand engraving is a standout feature rarely seen at this price. The mechanical trigger is a plus for reliability purists. It comes with a complete, usable set of choke tubes. The 28-inch barrel length is a versatile choice for most applications.
The Considerations: At just under 8 pounds, some shooters preferring ultra-light field guns might find it substantial. As with many over-unders, the two-round capacity requires a deliberate shooting pace. It’s a specific tool for a specific shooter—those wanting high-volume capacity should look at a semi-auto.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the warranty on the CZ Supreme Field?
A: CZ-USA backs this firearm with a comprehensive 5-year warranty, which is a strong vote of confidence in their manufacturing. Always retain your original proof of purchase.
Q: Is the stock length adjustable?
A: The stock comes at a standard length of pull. For a perfect custom fit, aftermarket pads and spacers from brands like Kick-EEZ or Pachmayr can be used, or a gunsmith can fit a custom stock—though most shooters find the factory dimensions fit out of the box very well.
Q: Can it handle steel shot for waterfowl?
A: Yes, with the appropriate choke tubes. The barrels are steel-proofed. Just ensure you use choke tubes rated for steel shot (typically not the Full choke for high-velocity steel) and follow standard steel shot guidelines for barrel constriction.
That said, if you’re ready for a shotgun that blends old-world artistry with modern shootability, the CZ SUPREME FIELD 12GA deserves a close look.
