Frequently Asked Questions
What choke tubes are included with the CZ Redhead Premier, and what loads does it handle?
The Redhead Premier ships with 5 interchangeable choke tubes — Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full — giving you the flexibility to adapt to virtually any hunting or clay shooting scenario. With 3-inch chambers, it handles standard target loads, field loads, and heavier hunting loads with ease. Steel shot-compatible chokes are recommended for waterfowl use if applicable in your area.
How does the CZ Redhead Premier compare to other over/unders in its price range?
The Redhead Premier stands out by offering a 1-piece CNC-machined receiver, automatic ejectors, laser-cut checkering, and a genuine Turkish walnut stock — features that are often reserved for significantly more expensive shotguns. CZ's manufacturing standards and the inclusion of five choke tubes make this one of the best-value over/unders available for both hunting and clay sports.
Is the CZ Redhead Premier suitable for a beginner, or is it geared toward experienced shooters?
The Redhead Premier is well-suited for both new and experienced shotgunners. Its manual tang safety, predictable trigger, and well-balanced 20-gauge platform make it approachable for beginners, while its refined fit, finish, and performance ceiling give seasoned shooters plenty to appreciate. The lighter 20-gauge recoil also makes it an excellent option for smaller-framed shooters or those transitioning from a single-barrel shotgun.
