Why the CZ 1020 G2 stands out
Platform and cycling
The semi-auto action in the CZ 1020 G2 is tuned for smooth follow-up shots and consistent cycling across a range of 20 gauge loads. The 3″ chamber increases versatility, allowing you to run higher-performance 3″ shells when you need extra payload or range, while remaining comfortable with lighter target loads for extended shooting sessions.
Barrel, rib, and sighting
The 28″ vent ribbed barrel gives a longer sight plane and helps with sight acquisition for upland and sporting clay shooters. The bead front sight is a simple, reliable reference that many shooters prefer for pointing and quick transitions. The vented rib also aids heat dissipation over long strings of shots.
Controls and ergonomics
Oversized controls on the receiver make operation intuitive whether you’re wearing gloves on a cool morning or simply prefer a more tactile interface. The drilled and tapped receiver lets you mount a red dot or peep sight if you want to modernize the setup for competitive or specialized shooting — without permanent modification to the base gun.
Included accessories and how they change the game
Out of the case, the CZ 1020 G2 arrives with five CZ Active Extended Chokes: Full (F), Improved Modified (IM), Modified (M), Improved Cylinder (IC), and Cylinder (C). These give you immediate shot-string control for patterning at different ranges and targets. Swapping chokes lets you tailor the shotgun for tight hunting patterns or broader sporting clays targets without changing barrels.
The premium lockable hard case included in the package protects the firearm and accessories during transport and storage. For anyone traveling to a field or to a club, a solid case reduces handling worries and keeps your setup secure.
Performance considerations: 20 gauge in modern use
The 20 gauge strikes a balance between manageable recoil and effective performance. It’s an excellent choice for youth shooters, hunters who want more shots per outing, and experienced shooters who prefer a lighter carry without giving up pattern density. The 3″ chamber opens the door to higher-velocity 20 gauge shells when additional downrange energy is required.
Patterning and load selection
To get the most out of the CZ 1020 G2, start your patterning with the included Modified and Improved Modified chokes using standard target or upland loads to find point-of-impact and shot distribution at 35-40 yards. For denser patterns at longer ranges, test the Full choke with heavier 3″ hunting loads. Documenting results with each choke and load combination ensures predictable performance on game day or match day.

Fit, finish, and field use
The walnut stock balances classic aesthetics with functional comfort. Walnut provides a solid, ergonomic cheek weld and helps dampen recoil in a way that synthetic stocks may not. The combination of Matte Black and Anodized Receiver Bronze Finish gives the CZ 1020 G2 a refined look that works in the field or at the club.
Maintenance and long-term care
Routine maintenance for the CZ 1020 G2 follows standard semi-auto practices: clean the gas system as recommended, inspect the bolt and carrier for wear, and ensure chokes are cleaned and lubricated before installation. Keeping the vent rib and barrel fouling-free will help preserve consistent patterns and sight picture.
Who should consider the CZ 1020 G2?
This shotgun is ideal for field and sporting shooters seeking a refined 20 gauge platform with modern features. It’s a strong fit for upland hunters wanting lighter recoil and for clay shooters who need a versatile choke selection out of the box. With the drilled and tapped receiver, the gun also adapts for those who prefer a small optic on a traditional platform.
At $749.99 with five extended chokes and a lockable case included, the CZ 1020 G2 represents a compelling combination of value and capability for shooters who want a ready-to-run semi-auto without extensive aftermarket work. UPC for inventory: 806703061351 (Dallas location).
