Who This Shotgun Is For
This is the workhorse for the dedicated upland hunter chasing pheasant, quail, or grouse across varied terrain. It’s equally suited for the recreational clay shooter who wants a reliable, classically-styled over/under for weekend competitions without the complexity of a high-maintenance competition gun. If your priority is a durable, no-fuss firearm that performs out of the box, this CZ fits the bill.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The value proposition is clear—you get proven CZ reliability and quality walnut at an accessible price. The mechanical trigger offers a crisp pull, and the Invector-Plus choke system is widely supported, allowing you to use tubes from brands like Briley or Carlson’s for specialized patterns. Its weight distribution makes it manageable for shooters of various builds.
Cons: As a production field gun, it lacks the hand-fitted feel and extensive engraving of premium European over/unders. The stock dimensions are standard, so shooters requiring a significant length of pull or cast adjustment may need aftermarket modification. That said, for most hunters, it’s drop-in ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What chokes are included with the shotgun?
A: The CZ Wingshooter Elite typically comes equipped with a set of flush-mounted Invector-Plus choke tubes (often Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full). This gives you the flexibility to handle everything from close-range skeet to longer-distance turkey or waterfowl patterns.
Q: Is this shotgun suitable for a beginner?
A: Absolutely. Its straightforward operation, automatic safety, and balanced handling make it an excellent first over/under. The single selective trigger eliminates the complexity of double triggers, allowing a new shooter to focus on fundamentals like mounting and swing.
Q: Can it handle steel shot for waterfowl hunting?
A: Yes, with the correct choke tubes. The barrels are steel-shot proofed. You must use Invector-Plus choke tubes rated for steel shot. Never fire steel shot through a full choke or any tube not explicitly rated for it, as this can damage the barrel.
