Description
There is something about a side-by-side in .410 that just feels right in the hand, and the CZ Sharp-Tail nails it. This is the evolution of CZ's well-loved Ringneck, built on an entirely new action that is noticeably smaller and trimmer than the old one. The receiver is machined from a single piece of steel on CNC equipment, and inside you get coil-spring-operated hammers in place of the old leaf springs, independent floating firing pins, and redesigned sears. The payoff is a double gun that locks up tight, strikes primers consistently, and is built to keep doing it for a long time.
A Sharp-Tail Built for the Uplands
The 28-inch barrels wear a black hard chrome finish and carry fixed Improved Cylinder and Modified chokes, a sensible pairing for quail, dove, woodcock, and squirrels at typical .410 distances. Chambers accept 3-inch shells, and the single selectable mechanical trigger lets you pick which barrel fires first, so you can lead with the tighter or more open choke depending on the cover. A manual thumb safety and simple brass-style front bead round out the working parts. At roughly 5.9 pounds and 45.75 inches overall, this is a gun you will still be happy to carry in the last hour of daylight.
Sharp-Tail Looks That Earn the Name
CZ dressed this one properly. The Turkish walnut stock has a pistol grip and a semi-beavertail forend that fills the lead hand nicely, while the color case-hardened receiver gives it that swirled, old-world finish that never goes out of style. It photographs well, but it looks even better pulled from a truck case on a frosty morning.
Why Pick the Sharp-Tail in .410
The .410 version makes a great small-game and dove gun, a fun clays gun for anyone who likes a challenge, and a fine first double for a newer wingshooter thanks to its soft recoil and light weight. Extractors lift both hulls for easy removal, and the whole package ships in a hard plastic case ready for the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CZ Sharp-Tail .410 come with interchangeable choke tubes?
No, and that trips a lot of folks up. The 12, 20, and 28 gauge Sharp-Tails ship with five flush choke tubes, but the .410 version uses fixed Improved Cylinder and Modified chokes. For a .410 at realistic ranges, that IC/Mod pairing covers most upland and small game situations well.
Can the Sharp-Tail .410 shoot 3-inch shells?
Yes, it has 3-inch chambers, so it will handle both 2.5-inch and 3-inch .410 loads. That gives you flexibility to run lighter shells for clays and practice, then step up to 3-inch payloads for birds and small game.
Does the CZ Sharp-Tail have ejectors or extractors?
This model uses an extractor, which lifts the spent hulls out of the chambers for you to pluck by hand rather than flinging them clear. Plenty of upland hunters prefer it since your empties stay with you instead of landing in the brush, and it keeps the action simpler.
How does the Sharp-Tail differ from the older CZ Ringneck?
The Sharp-Tail is a full redesign rather than a rename. It rides on a smaller one-piece CNC-machined receiver and swaps the Ringneck's leaf springs for coil-spring-driven hammers, plus it adds independent floating firing pins and updated sears. The result is a trimmer gun built for longer service life and more consistent ignition.
