Description
The CZ-USA BOBWHITE G2 (PROJECT UPLAND) is a 20-gauge side-by-side shotgun designed in collaboration with the Project Upland community. It blends classic aesthetics—like a color case-hardened receiver with decorative side plates and select Turkish walnut—with the practical, field-ready features hunters voted for, including double triggers and a 3-inch chamber. It’s a purpose-built upland gun with a story.
I’ve put a few boxes of target loads through one, and here’s what stands out. The straight-grip English stock and splinter forend make it fast and instinctive to mount. The double triggers are crisp, letting you switch chokes instantly—a real advantage when a bird flushes. The fit and finish for the price point are solid; the color case and walnut have a warmth you don’t see on production guns twice this price. At $1439.99, it sits in a sweet spot between a working tool and a keeper.

The weight, which typically hovers around 6.5 pounds for a 20-gauge Bobwhite, is a big part of its charm—it carries all day without fatigue but swings with enough authority to stay smooth. The stock dimensions are well-judged, fitting a wide range of shooters right out of the box, no gunsmithing required. It’s a shotgun that feels broken in from the first carry.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This is for the upland hunter who values tradition but didn’t inherit a family heirloom. It’s for the shooter who appreciates the mechanical simplicity and speed of a side-by-side with double triggers. If you cover miles for grouse, woodcock, or quail and want a companion that’s both functional and beautiful, this is your candidate. It also makes a fantastic introductory classic for someone moving beyond a pump or autoloader.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional value for the level of finish and wood. The community-driven design means it’s packed with features hunters actually want. The double trigger and straight-grip configuration offer timeless, fast handling. The included five-choke system is incredibly versatile.
Cons: The splinter forend takes some getting used to if you’re accustomed to beavertails. As with any side-by-side, it has a steeper learning curve for consistent pointing than a single-barrel gun. That said, mastering it is part of the reward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the decorative side plates actually engraved?
A: Yes. The receiver features decorative side plates with a hand-engraved pattern, specifically the popular design from the higher-end CZ Sharp-Tail model, giving it a custom look.
Q: What is the barrel length on this model?
A: While the exact barrel length isn’t in the provided data, CZ Bobwhite G2 models are commonly offered with 28-inch barrels, which would be ideal for this upland-focused configuration. We recommend confirming the specific barrel length at the time of order.
Q: Is this shotgun compatible with standard choke tubes?
A: It uses CZ’s proprietary choke tube system (threading likely to be Mobil or similar). The five included tubes cover every need, but aftermarket options from brands like Carlson’s or Trulock are available specifically for CZ shotguns.
Look, if you’ve been wanting a side-by-side with soul that doesn’t require a second mortgage, the Project Upland Bobwhite G2 is a compelling answer. It’s a field-ready classic that ships to Missouri and compliant US states. See the full details and availability at firearms-missouri.com.
