Description
The CZ-USA Redhead Premier All-Terrain 12 Gauge 28 in, 5 Chokes is a field-ready over/under shotgun built for the hunter who expects his firearm to endure the same hard miles he does. Chambered in 12 Gauge with a 28-inch vent-rib barrel, this model pairs an OD Green Cerakote metal finish with a handsome walnut stock, so it stands up to rain, brush, and rough handling without losing its classic good looks. The break-open action features a magnetic assist in the extractor/ejector assembly to keep shells secure while you’re climbing over a fence or wading through a marsh. Five extended choke tubes come in the box, letting you dial in patterns from tight turkey to open dove loads. Whether you’re after quail in a cutover or wood ducks on a slough, this shotgun is ready to go.

- Magnetic Shell Retention – The extractor/ejector assembly uses magnets to hold shells in place while you’re moving. Why it matters: no more fumbling to keep empties from falling out when you’re crossing a ditch or climbing into a blind.
- OD Green Cerakote Finish – The entire metal surface is coated with tough Cerakote in a flat olive drab. Why it matters: it resists rust, scratches, and glare, so your shotgun stays functional and low-profile season after season.
- Five Extended Choke Tubes – The set includes Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder. Why it matters: you can switch from tight patterns for long-range pheasants to open spreads for close-flushing quail without owning a second set of barrels.
- 28-Inch Vent-Rib Barrel with 8mm Flat Rib – The barrel is 28 inches long with a wide 8mm flat vent rib that reduces heat mirage. Why it matters: you get a fast-swinging, pointable gun that sheds heat on hot days and gives a clear sight picture over the rib.
- Walnut Stock with Traditional Styling – The stock features a classic pistol grip and a semi-beavertail fore-end. Why it matters: it keeps the Redhead looking like a proper field gun while the ergonomics support a natural mount and quick follow-up shots.
The CZ-USA Redhead Premier All-Terrain is made for the hunter who spends more time in the field than at the range. If you chase doves across cut cornfields, walk up behind a pointing dog on a covey rise, or sit in a duck blind during a cold rain, this shotgun will handle the conditions without complaint. It’s also a solid choice for the shooter who wants a reliable over/under for sporting clays or informal trap—just swap chokes and go.
Pros: Durable Cerakote finish that stands up to wet weather; magnetic shell retention is a genuine convenience in the field; five chokes give versatility for any game; balanced and swings naturally for a field gun; walnut stock is attractive and functional.
Cons: The Cerakote finish, while tough, can show wear at high-contact points (like the barrel flats) after heavy use—it’s a coating, not a plating, so expect it to wear gracefully over time.

According to CZ-USA specs, the Redhead Premier All-Terrain weighs exactly 7.2 pounds—light enough to carry all day, heavy enough to soak up recoil from 3-inch magnums. The 28-inch barrel with an 8mm flat vent rib is a proven length for everything from dove to ducks.
What chokes come with the CZ-USA Redhead Premier All-Terrain 12 Gauge 28 in, 5 Chokes?
It includes five extended choke tubes: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder. These are standard 12-gauge Beretta/Benelli Mobilchoke pattern tubes, so you can also use aftermarket chokes if you prefer.
Is the CZ-USA Redhead Premier All-Terrain suitable for left-handed shooters?
This model is a right-handed version with a right-hand cast-off stock and a tang safety. Left-handed shooters may want to look for a left-handed or ambidextrous model, though some lefties shoot right-handed guns just fine.
How does the magnetic shell retention work on this shotgun?
Tiny magnets are embedded in the extractor/ejector assembly. When you open the action, the magnets hold the fired shells in place until you manually remove them. This prevents shells from falling out while you’re moving through brush or climbing into a blind.
Can I shoot steel shot through the CZ-USA Redhead Premier All-Terrain?
Yes, the barrels are proofed for steel shot. Use the appropriate steel-compatible choke tubes (the included tubes are steel-safe), and avoid using full choke with steel at high velocities to prevent barrel damage.
What is the warranty on the CZ-USA Redhead Premier All-Terrain?
CZ-USA offers a five-year limited warranty on the Redhead Premier All-Terrain. It covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. You can register your warranty on the CZ-USA website.
