Design and Build

The CZ 720 G3 is chambered in 20 gauge and fitted with a 24-inch barrel, finished in matte black and paired with a Turkish walnut stock for a classic look with modern durability. The series uses a gas-operated piston to ensure smooth, reliable cycling across a range of loads. Noteworthy updates on the G3 include interchangeable pistons and an oversized safety placed at the front of the trigger guard for more natural manipulation under stress or when wearing gloves.

Chambering and Load Flexibility

The 720 series uses a 3-inch chamber while remaining compatible with 2.75-inch shells. That gives shooters the flexibility to run light target loads for recoil-sensitive shooters or heavier hunting and defensive loads when required. The inclusion of two pistons—one for light loads and one for heavy—optimizes the gas system for consistent performance, reducing felt recoil and cycling issues across the load spectrum.

Accessories and Practicality

CZ includes five CZ Active Extended chokes (F, IM, M, IC, C), enabling quick adjustments for patterning and a wide range of shooting scenarios from tight-group upland work to more open patterns for waterfowl and clays. A lockable hard case is supplied for secure transport and storage, enhancing the out-of-the-box value for $592.99. For shooters who appreciate a ready-to-use package, the included chokes and two pistons remove the guesswork and accessory hunting.

Handling and Applications

The 20 gauge configuration offers lower recoil than a 12 gauge while still delivering sufficient performance for most upland game and many defensive applications. The oversized safety ahead of the trigger guard contributes to intuitive control during carry and transitions. With its walnut stock and balanced 24-inch barrel, the CZ 720 G3 tracks well on the swing and shoulders comfortably for extended sessions.
