Thoughts on CZ USA shotguns.

I have a CZ upland light. It is a budget shotgun made in turkey and branded as a CZ (I think most are.) All in all it is a great gun, but the action is a little tight, as in it can be a bit hard to unlock the action if you are not assertive with it. My wife does not like it for this reason, but most guys that have shot it don't have a problem. Recoil is a bit more than a semi because of the light weight, but again, my wifey doesn't mind the recoil and shoots it very well.

I would not hesitate to buy another CZ over/under.

All of those shotguns from the Makers that do armsco/huglu/dehaan/cz come really tight from the factory. I have shot the living piss out of my U2 (and in terrible mud and salt conditions.) It is not tight any more. It survived a 100 foot slide across the bridge over mary's creek when it got thrown out of the boat, when the boat trailer flipped in the ice. It still shoots, but when I hit the lever, the action falls open from gravity.

Well, I took the plunge and ordered a CZ Hammer Classic in 12 gauge a couple of days ago from Bud's. I've never owned a db with sidelocks or screw-in chokes or 30" barrels for that matter. Heck this is my first shotgun that is rated for steel! Anyway, I am looking forward to some fun times.
