Fine upland game guns trace their linage from the slender, well-balanced English guns developed for driven birds. Though perfect for their intended use, these fine double guns were built primarily for overhead shooting, where as the upland game in America is normally taken over a pointing dog at the flush. Whether ruff grouse from thick New England cover or bobwhite in the Georgia pines, American upland game shooting is as often as not the quintessential snap-shot.
To meet the demands of American upland gunners, CZ has crafted a selection of side-by-side game guns unsurpassed in elegant grace and specifically designed for flushing birds. Each gun in the line is built on frames proportionate to their specific gauge. Ringneck Shotguns are built on specific frames to give them proportion and balance found on no other production gun on the market.
In addition to their frame-specific construction, each gun is stocked in beautifully sculptured Turkish walnut with a conventional American pistol grip with a single trigger. It is hand checkered 20 lines to the inch with a hand engraved frame.

The 28 gauge was introduced in 1903 by Parker Brothers, famous for double-barrel shotguns. With a nominal bore diameter of .550-inch, it is considered a "small gauge" shotgun, and 28 gauge is one of the four officlal events in American skeet. Case length is 2 3/4 inches and the standard charge is just 3/4-ounce of shot. That said, with modern shells the 28 gauge is surprisingly effective on both clay targets and upland birds. Although definitely an "expert's shotgun," the 28 gauge has the advantage of low recoil, can be built into very light shotguns, and is much more effective than the .410. Over the years it was kept alive mostly by serious skeet shooters, but today is often chosen by serious upland bird hunters. Because of pellet count it is most effective with smaller shot sizes (7 1/2, 8, and 9), so is rarely employed by waterfowlers. — Craig Boddington
