Hi folks,
I'm interested in a new shotgun. I've liked the quality of the guns from CZ. I was looking at their website and see they are marketing shotguns, both O/U and autos from Turkey.

Has anyone seen the 712 or have experience with them?
Regards,

hey
i have a 712 with 26 in barrel if you want a great semi for not a bunch of money buy one you wont be dissapointed you can get them for 3 bills or less and they come with a 5 yr warranty they will accept the barreta/benelli chokes i shoot the carlsons sporting clays chokes in mine and they are awesome i am very happy with my 712 and it has functioned flawlessly since day one only thing you will have to get used to is they are a little tricky to tear down for cleaning the first time you do it
after that its a breeze

They're excellent guns for the money. Not actually made by CZ (CZ-USA is just the importer. They're actually made by Huglu in Turkey), but still good guns. I got mine about a month or so ago. Cycles everything I feed it and it holds an EXCELLENT pattern with turkey loads (full choke) and 00 buckshot (modified choke).

Only thing about it (and it's not really a negative) is that the load/unload mechanism works . . . differently . . . than most other semi's I've used (which is basically a Browning A5 and several different Remingtons). It's hard to explain, but you'll figure it out. Just don't give up on it (for the first 5 minutes I had mine I thought something was broken

Thanks to each of you for your reply and I appreciate the CZ forum link. I went to Austin, TX today. The shotgun was exactly what I had hoped it was. It was certainly not fancy, the checkering and stock looked great. It really felt good pointing. I purchased it and bought a few boxes of AA's to try it at the range.
