Also, the trigger pulls are atrocious..6.5Lbs and 8.5Lbs. respectively. Your's aren't all that bad. I shot a 20 ga. Ringneck that was 10 and 11.5 lbs. out of the box!

YGWYPF is that why you buy bottom feeder Spanish guns? YGWYPF certainly applies to what you call "bottom feeder" Spanish guns, as well. Doesn't take much to make your day, IM. I'm happy you got a thrill. Buy AMERICAN! Buy a Browning, Remington, Winchester, Savage, Mossberg, Smith & Wesson, Kimber, etc!

No inertia block in this gun. They have some kind of spring operated system. The trigger pulls have to be set at around 7lbs. to keep from doubling.
Look, these guns are pretty well made and really the only game in town at less than $1,000 in 28ga. From a price standpoint, I'm in this gun right...NIB at a little over $500 with tax. I don't apologize for owning the gun, customer service was great, and we'll get it right.
My question was directed toward those who own the gun and may have had a similar problem and how it was dealt with. I want to know that these issues can be resolved in a timely manner and won't happen on a continuing basis.
I have great SxS's and this gun will never be more than an foul weather option, BUT, I don't own guns for long than can't be relied on to function properly.

Buy AMERICAN! Buy a Browning, Remington, Winchester, Savage, Mossberg, Smith & Wesson, Kimber, etc! Sure, if it was still 1980.

You guys are Funny! I've gotta love Jim, his opinion and all! Now I know why I like this board. Time to make a donation. Super people. Tom don't blow a gasket. I have the same gun as you. No problems however. I like it so much that I might get Jim one for Christmas, 2025!

I arrived home last night from a Hermosillo, Mexico three day dove shoot. I took two 20 ga. CZ Bobwhites and I shot both of them. I had no problems of any kind. I did have to have the stocks bent down a little and the triggers adjusted to a lighter pull so I have about $825 in each gun. They are good guns for Mexico or Argentina trips.

Hello all,
I thought I would chime in since I had wondered about the CZ shotguns for a time and read the pro and con opinions for quite awhile. My conclusion from reading research was that 2nd hand and 1st hand opinions run about 50/50 pro/con with the con of course including those who do not own one of the guns. Their opinion is not to be dismissed however, but weighed properly and very often they compare CZs to more exspensive guns with more solid reputation, (beretta) which is fair because most people buy guns to shoot not just for pretty. From my research of opinions, I kindly say that I learned that a $800.00 doublegun has more quality problems than a $2000.00 double! The question remained however, is a CZ Ringneck worth $800.? This is what I beleive Jim is saying, though I by no means intend to put words in his mouth. If you only have $800. to put into a shotgun buy a Remington 870, 1100, a Winchester pump, or even a Mossberg. They are tested and can be relied on. If you want that in a double buy a Merkel,Beretta, or and SKB. But, If you are like me and just can't stop wondering about that nice looking CZ Ringneck for $800 bucks- buy one! I did and so far I can't find anything wrong with mine, but it is not heavily used. I like the egonomics of a sxs and own a few, but I needed to know about this low priced gun. As I have said absolutely nothing wrong yet(the trigger pull is good too), but if something like [doubling]shows up I am gonna say "YGWYPF". Then if it is still under warranty I'm going to send it back to get fixed and if the warranty has exspired I am going to take a look inside myself. I don't think I'll ruin the collecters value.
Best to all,
Kurt

So, how does this spring operated system of single trigger work?? Does it require 7# pulls to work reliably or are some of the guys just lucky and in for doubling trouble with their lighter pulls? I'm not knocking anything, just interested in how it works.

Citori; Citori; Citori - Purchase, remove from box; load; fire. Load; fire. Load; fire. Load; fire. Load; fire. Load; fire. Load; fire. Repeat for 25 rnds if skeet or trap shooting; 50 rnds. if Sporting Clays shooting. Disassemble gun; clean; reassemble; put back in gunsafe. Proceed directly to the next page of life today in this great country of ours. As for the current flood from the high altitude yurts where they grow the Circassian - absolutely nothing beats a "bargain project gun" right out of the box - all camel turds and soft metal - your gunsmith's friend for life - but it was a DEAL!
