Description
Most youth shotguns feel like an afterthought. Cheap wood, stripped-down features, and a stock somebody hacked short at the factory. The CZ Redhead Premier Reduced Length takes the opposite approach. CZ started with their popular Redhead Premier over/under and rebuilt it around a smaller shooter, trimming the length of pull from the standard 14.5 inches down to 13 inches and shortening the barrels to 24 inches. The result is a gun that mounts naturally and swings quickly for kids, smaller-framed adults, and anyone who finds full-size doubles unwieldy.
Real Redhead Premier Features, Just Sized Down
Nothing got left off to hit a price point. You still get auto ejectors that kick empties clear, a single selective trigger so you can pick which barrel fires first, and a manual tang safety right where your thumb expects it. The receiver wears a handsome silver satin chrome finish, and the Turkish walnut stock gives it the look of a gun that costs a lot more. The 3-inch chambers handle everything from light target loads to heavier hunting shells, and the 20 gauge keeps recoil manageable for newer or smaller frames.
Built for the Field and the Clays Course
The chrome-lined barrels are finished in gloss black chrome, which shrugs off weather and wet-dog hunting mornings better than traditional bluing. An 8mm flat vent rib and bead sight keep the sight picture simple, and at right around 6 pounds with a 40.5-inch overall length, this gun is easy to carry all day and quick to shoulder when a bird flushes. Five flush-mount choke tubes come in the box, covering everything from Cylinder for close flushes to Full for longer shots, so one gun handles doves, quail, pheasant, and weekend clays.
Why the Reduced Length Redhead Makes Sense
A shotgun that fits is a shotgun that gets shot well, and fit matters more for new and young hunters than just about anything else. This one lets a smaller shooter start with a quality double gun instead of growing into a compromise. It's the kind of gun that stays in the family long after the kid it was bought for outgrows it, because plenty of adults end up liking how it handles too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the CZ Redhead Premier Reduced Length best suited for?
It's built for youth shooters and smaller-framed adults who struggle with full-size shotguns. The 13" length of pull is a full inch and a half shorter than the standard Redhead Premier, and the 24" barrels keep it lively and easy to swing. That said, plenty of average-sized adults enjoy it for upland hunting and clays because it's so quick handling.
What choke tubes come with the Redhead Premier Reduced Length?
It ships with five flush-mount choke tubes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That range covers close-flushing birds, skeet distances, and longer passing shots without buying anything extra. Swapping tubes takes just a minute with a choke wrench.
Can this shotgun handle 3-inch shells?
Yes, both barrels are chambered for 3" shells, so it will run everything from light 2-3/4" target loads up to 3" magnum hunting loads. For newer or younger users, lighter loads are the way to start since the gun only weighs about 6 pounds. The chrome-lined bores also make cleanup easy no matter what you feed it.
Does the reduced length version give up any features compared to the full-size Redhead Premier?
No, and that's the whole appeal. You still get the auto ejectors, single selective trigger, Turkish walnut stock, silver satin chrome receiver, and chrome-lined barrels found on the standard model. The only real differences are the shorter 13" length of pull and the 24" barrels.
