Description
The CZ-USA Drake 28 Gauge Over/Under Shotgun with 28-inch barrels is a field gun built for the shooter who appreciates a light, fast-handling scattergun. Chambered in 28 gauge, this cz-usa drake 28 gauge over/under shotgun 28″ delivers the classic feel of a fine side-by-side alternative, with a vent-rib barrel and gloss black chrome metal finish that stands up to hard use. The Turkish walnut fixed pistol-grip stock, laser-cut checkering, and single selectable trigger make it a natural for dove fields and quail covers. Per CZ-USA specs, the action uses extractor operation and a manual tang safety, and it ships with five flush interchangeable chokes for versatility from the skeet range to the marsh.

Key Features
- Gloss Black Chrome Metal Finish — Why it matters: This finish resists rust and corrosion better than standard bluing, keeping your shotgun looking sharp after a wet morning in the field or a dusty dove hunt.
- Turkish Walnut Fixed Pistol-Grip Stock — Why it matters: The walnut is hand-selected for grain and figure, and the pistol grip helps you mount the gun consistently, reducing felt recoil in the light 28 gauge.
- Laser-Cut Checkering — Why it matters: Provides a sure grip even with sweaty hands or gloves, so you don’t lose control when that covey flush surprises you.
- Single Selectable Trigger with Manual Tang Safety — Why it matters: You can choose which barrel fires first, and the tang safety is easy to reach without breaking your grip—critical for fast follow-up shots.
- Five Flush Interchangeable Chokes — Why it matters: From tight patterns for longer shots on pheasants to open ones for close quail, these chokes let you adapt to any situation without buying extra tubes.
Who It’s For
The Drake is for the southern shooter who wants a lightweight, affordable over/under for bird hunting, sporting clays, or casual skeet. It’s a natural fit for dove hunters who carry all day, and for those who prefer the elegance of a 28 gauge without the price tag of a high-end Italian gun. If you’re a traditionalist who values walnut and steel over synthetic stocks and black finishes, this one’s for you.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at 6.2 pounds, easy to carry; includes five chokes; handsome wood; reliable extractor operation; good value for the price.
- Cons: The extractor operation means you have to manually remove fired shells—no auto-ejectors for fast reloading. Also, the fixed pistol grip may not suit shooters who prefer a straight English-style stock.
