For serious clay shooters looking for a purpose-built target gun, fit and function matter as much as balance and finish. A dedicated over/under should track naturally, present cleanly, and deliver consistent patterns—traits that the right platform brings to the range and competition.

CZ REDHEAD is assembled specifically to crush clay targets. Built like the Redhead Premier with a target-focused intent, this over/under pairs a Monte Carlo-style stock with lasercut checkering to lock the gun to your shoulder while keeping your head high to track incoming targets. The stepped rib is tuned for rising trap targets and the righthand palm swell enhances grip and control through follow-through. Shop this product

Design and Ergonomics

The Turkish walnut stock and forend provide a classic look with functional grain stability for predictable mounting. The Monte Carlo profile raises cheek weld height for faster sight acquisition on rising clay angles. Lasercut checkering increases purchase without harsh edges, and the righthand palm swell is a practical touch for dominant-hand shooters who demand repeatable control.

Barrel, Rib, and Finishes

A long, stepped rib optimized for rising trap targets gives a clear sight plane and helps you judge lead on high birds. The pair of barrels—configured for target-length performance—are finished in gloss black chrome for durability and glare reduction, while the receiver wears a silver satin chrome finish for corrosion resistance and refined aesthetics.

Why This Model Fits the Range

At $1,399.99, this model positions itself as an affordable target-grade shotgun for shooters moving up from basic field guns. CZ’s reputation for solid mechanics and consistent triggers carries through here; the target-focused stock geometry, stepped rib, and long barrels make it a strong candidate for trap and sporting clays shooters looking for predictable patterns and a confident mount.

Practical Notes for Buyers

Consider ammunition selection and choke configuration to tailor patterns to your preferred discipline. The balance from the Turkish walnut and barrel length favors smooth swing and reduced muzzle rise, which helps stringing together targets in doubles or fast rotations.

For shooters serious about dialing in a true target gun without the premium price, CZ REDHEAD delivers targeted ergonomics and finishes built for clay work. Check current availability
