The CZ 712 series, encompassing both the G2 and the latest G3 models, is a versatile line of gas-operated semi-automatic shotguns designed for a wide range of shooting applications, from upland game hunting to competitive shooting. The CZ 712 G2 offers various configurations, including the Synthetic Camo and Green models, both built on a lightweight alloy receiver and designed for 3-gun competition with a 9+1 round capacity and synthetic stock. The Target G2 variant, specifically designed for trap shooting, features a 30-inch barrel with a 10mm stepped rib for enhanced performance on rising targets. The newly introduced CZ 712 G3 takes these features further, offering a gas-operated system that reduces recoil while reliably cycling both 2¾-inch and 3-inch shotshells. The G3 includes two pistons, allowing users to switch between light loads for target shooting and heavy loads for waterfowl hunting. The G3’s chrome-lined barrels, coupled with five extra-long Active-Choke tubes, ensure consistent patterns and durability under extended firing conditions. The receiver and barrel are finished in a sleek, matte black coating that reduces glare, with stock options including black synthetic, camo, and walnut. The innovative design, coupled with superior performance and adaptability, earned the CZ 712 G3 the NRA 2024 Golden Bullseye “Shotgun of the Year” award, solidifying its reputation as a top choice for hunters and sport shooters alike.
