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. Unlike other manufacturers that mount 28 ga. barrels on a 20 ga. frame and call it good enough, CZ's Bobwhite quail-guns are built on a petite 28 ga. 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 straight English style grip and double triggers. Each gun is hand checkered 20 lines to the inch.
A side-by-side of perfect balance with beautiful wood mated to polished steel lacks only one element to make it a true classic - hand engraving. The Bobwhite side by sides feature hand engraving. These color case hardened shotguns are available in 12, 20 and 28ga with 5 screw in chokes in 12 and 20 ga. and fixed chokes of IC & Mod in .410.

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
