CZ Redhead Premier Double Barrel Shotgun Description
The Redhead Premier is a high-level, universal shotgun, and the flagship of CZ’s over/under line of shotguns, loaded with features that can’t be found on any other Over Under shotgun in its price range.
Speaking of features, this tried-and-true shotgun for hunting small game comes with the manufacturer’s new, 1-piece receiver that is precision CNC-machined and chrome plated to achieve a shiny silver appearance that contrasts nicely with other parts of the CZ Redhead Premier. The design of this receiver provides optimum strength, while its silver satin finish offers a decent level of protection against corrosion.
This 12-gauge version of the firearm features 28-inch long, vent rib barrels with a 3-inch chamber and 5 flush-mounted choke tubes (F, IM, M, IC, C). Like the fully-CNC’ed receiver, these barrels are also made of chrome-finished steel that is incredibly strong, and these top quality components of the CZ Premier Redhead shotgun for clay shooting make it impressively reliable, such that you can cycle thousands of shells with zero issues.
The wood furniture is made of varnished Turkish walnut, with both the forend and pistol grip sporting a laser-cut checkering that ensures a firm grip even with wet or gloved hands.
Also featured on this model are ejectors that automatically send spent cases flying out of the CZ Redhead Premier for the fastest possible reloading times; a single mechanical trigger mechanism that lets you choose the barrel firing order; a manual tang safety that gives you much more control over when the skeet shooting shotgunfires; sling swivel studs under the buttstock and lower barrel; as well as a front white bead sight for better targeting with the CZ Premier Redhead.
All in all, this trim and lightweight Over Under waterfowl shotgun which is made with unparalleled craftsmanship for a firearm in its price range, and which points quite instinctively, is a joy to use in the field.

CZ Redhead Premier Additional Information
Vent Rib
This skeet shooting shotgun comes with a ventilated (vent) rib; the 8mm flat vent is designed to help the barrel cool better, eliminate barrel glare or mirage which may distract the shooter, as well as provide a straight sighting plane for more accurate shooting.
Auto Ejectors
The independent auto-injectors provided for each barrel of the CZ Redhead Premier ensure that every spent shell is ejected cleanly and rapidly, making for easy reloading of a new one. The solid construction of the receiver ensures a very smooth and reliable break, and this also promotes fast reloading of this shotgun for hunting.
Stock Material
Turkish walnut, which is what the CZ Premier Redhead stock is made of, is wood that comes from the species “Juglans Regia” which originated in Iran, and is the same species as English Walnut. Walnut is preferred as the ideal wood for gun stocks because it is relatively light, yet tough, rigid and hard to split.
In addition to its hard and dense consistency, Turkish walnut is popular for its dark mineral lines that give it a refined look.
Trigger
The mechanical CZ Redhead Premier trigger allows for independent selection of each barrel and, though it tends to feel a bit stiff out of the box, it will loosen up and deliver a clean and easy pull after you must have shot the Over Under shotgun a few times.
Manual Tang Safety
A tang or slide safety such as is installed on the CZ Premier Redhead is in form of a sliding button, bar or lever which is usually located on the tang (a metal strip behind the receiver) of firearms that feature it, and which functions by blocking the firing action when engaged.
White Bead Sight
A bead sight is a simple round bead mounted onto the top of a shotgun barrel, close to the muzzle, and which provides a more brilliant sighting alignment. The advantage of this CZ Redhead Premier front sight is that it won’t un-zero or fog up, and doesn’t rely on batteries to function unlike scopes and red dot sights.
Applications
Over/under shotguns are typically not designed for long-range shooting, and this statement holds true in the case of this unique firearm called the Redhead. The weapon is very accurate at short to medium ranges however, and this makes it perfectly suitable for skeet or clay target shooting.
The CZ Premier Redhead double barrel shotgun also excels when it comes to hunting small game like birds, and while some regard it as a true all-purpose shotgun, it is not quite great for hunting medium game such as deer.
Recommended Ammunition
Whether you intend to use your shotgun for clay shooting or for hunting, consider stocking up on some of the following ammunition when you purchase your CZ Redhead Premier:
- Remington American Clay & Field Sport 12 Gauge 1 1/8 oz. 2.75” Ammo
- Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS™ Turkey Shotshells
- Kent Cartridge Fasteel 2.0 12 Gauge 3” Shotshells
- Federal Premium High Over All 12 Gauge 1 1/8 oz. 2.75” Ammo

“Picked up the Redhead Premier in 20 gauge with 26″ barrels a couple weeks ago, just in time for bird season. It is an absolutely beautiful firearm with outstanding fit and finish. The receiver is gorgeous and the Walnut stock looks amazing. It has functioned flawlessly on the range thus far and I can’t wait to get it out in the woods. I couldn’t be happier with my first CZ-USA product and first over/under. I would recommend to anyone seeking a great gun at a reasonable mid-level price in the over/under market.”

“Bought one of these in 20g for following my brittany around bird hunting. I love this gun, no issues after 2 solid years of hunting. It’s light, easy to swing and points well. For the money these are hard to beat.”

“I purchased a Redhead Premier 12 Gauge this past December and have shot about 300 rounds through it. It performed flawlessly, better than I did shooting clays! Very happy with the quality and attention to detail. The chokes that came with it are perfect and easy to swap out. Cleaning is easy and straight forward. The hard case is perfect for both transporting and storage. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in an O/U for less than $1000.”
