Description
You’ve been in the field since dawn, the damp Missouri air clinging to your clothes. The last thing you need to worry about is your shotgun. The CZ UPLAND ULTRALIGHT is a purpose-built 20-gauge over/under designed for the serious hunter who covers ground. It’s a lightweight, durable field gun that prioritizes reliability and handling over everything else, making it a tool you can trust when the miles add up and the weather turns.
Here’s the thing—a field gun lives a hard life. It gets rained on, banged through brush, and carried for hours. That’s where the Upland Ultralight’s OD Green Cerakote finish earns its keep. This isn’t just for looks; it’s a hardened ceramic coating that shields the metal from moisture, corrosion, and scratches. It’s near impervious to the elements, so you can focus on the hunt, not on babying your firearm. At a trim 5.3 lbs., this 20-gauge won’t wear you down on long walks to the blind.
Practical features are integrated, not added as an afterthought. The forend uses rare earth magnets to securely retain spare shells—a small detail that means you won’t be fumbling in your pocket when you need a reload. It’s equipped with sling swivels right out of the box, so adding a carrying sling is a simple, no-gunsmithing-required task. The 28-inch barrels provide a smooth swing for crossing shots on upland birds, and the classic walnut stock offers a solid, traditional anchor point. The entire package is built for movement and endurance.

This shotgun is for the active hunter. It’s for the walker, the pusher, the hunter who values covering ground over waiting in a static blind. If your season involves chasing pheasant through CRP fields, grouse in the hardwoods, or doves over cut fields, this is a tool that matches your pace. It’s a working gun, priced at $815.39, that delivers proven performance without unnecessary frills. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide to qualified purchasers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the OD Green finish just cosmetic?
A: No. The Cerakote finish is a functional, ceramic-based armor. It significantly increases the metal’s resistance to rust, abrasion, and chemical corrosion compared to traditional bluing, making the gun far more suitable for wet or abrasive field conditions.
Q: How does the shell retention system work?
A: The forend incorporates powerful rare-earth magnets. These securely hold two spare shells against the wood, allowing for quick access. They’re strong enough to retain shells even if the gun is turned upside down, a thoughtful feature when navigating rough terrain.
Q: What type of chokes does it use?
A: The CZ Upland Ultralight utilizes the common and versatile CZ Mobilchoke system. This gives you a wide range of aftermarket choke tube options from brands like Carlson’s, Patternmaster, or Trulock to tailor your pattern for different game and distances.
