Kansas City, KS (July 12, 2023) – It’s easy to fall in love with the new CZ 712 G3. The next-generation shotgun inherits the best features of the G2 while adding enhancements like enlarged controls, adjustable comb, stock shims, and CZ’s Active chokes for an even better shooting experience than its predecessor. This gas-operated semi-automatic uses a lightweight alloy receiver and handles a variety of shotshell loads due to the two pistol system, making it an all-arounder shotgun for clays, upland game, or waterfowl. The 712 G3 Target delivers exceptional performance at an affordable price.
A Turkish walnut stock and forend, matte black finish, and 7mm wide ventilated rib barrel distinguish this shotgun. Its 30-inch barrel balances the shotgun and swings smoothly, while a redesigned butt pad improves comfort and tames recoil.
CZ knows that good eye-to-barrel alignment improves shooting. So the new 712 G3 Target features an adjustable comb and a stock shim set that allows cast-on or cast-off and up or down adjustments for a perfect custom fit.
The addition of an oversized bolt handle makes the G3 easier to operate, while its enlarged bolt release facilitates faster reloads. The safety was moved to the front of the trigger guard and enlarged; it’s out of the way yet still easy to access. The designers also moved the bolt lock to the right side of the shotgun, forward of the safety. And it’s now easier to push and close. The enhanced ergonomics make the CZ 712 G3 Target super intuitive!
The G3 includes five of CZ’s new Active-Choke extended choke tubes. They feature a longer parallel section, delivering the best patterns possible from its .735-inch diameter bore (an upgrade from the .730-inch bore in the older 712s). Extended chokes are easy to change, tighten without tools, and the mid-body threads keep the choke securely in place. Active chokes make swapping constrictions for different target presentations a breeze.
An ability to use a wide range of ammunition elevates the G3 to the next level of performance and versatility. The CZ 712 G3 includes two interchangeable pistons; one that cycles light 2¾” target loads and another for 3-inch magnum field loads for heavy and light loads. Either piston accepts a wide range of shot shells within its designation. With the light piston installed, shooters appreciate soft recoiling shot shells for target shooting that can be cycled easily.
The next-generation 712 G3 Target checks all the boxes for shotgunners looking for improved useability and performance. It’s available at dealers now.
