CZ 712 is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun built on a lightweight alloy receiver. CZ 712 can use both 2 3/4″ and 3″ shells, and it has 26″ or 28″ barrels, making it a reliable shotgun for both upland game and waterfowl. CZ 712 will resist corrosion after many seasons in the field. The 712 comes with a magazine tube plug installed for waterfowl. If the plug is removed, it gives the upland hunter a 4+1 capacity. CZ 712 line keeps evolving, and the team from CZ keeps on upgrading the original 712 series with new generation shotguns, such as CZ 712 G2 and CZ 712 G3, from which many great models emerged.
