Description
There is something about carrying a double gun through the uplands that a pump or autoloader just can't match, and the CZ Sharp-Tail delivers that experience without the custom-shop price tag. This 12 gauge pairs a color case-hardened receiver with a Turkish walnut pistol grip stock and semi-beavertail forend, and the 28 inch barrels wear a black hard chrome finish that shrugs off weather better than traditional bluing. At 7.3 pounds with an overall length of 45.75 inches, it swings smoothly on crossing birds without wearing you out on a long walk behind the dog.
A Smarter Action Under That Classic Sharp-Tail Look
The Sharp-Tail grew out of CZ's popular Ringneck, but the action underneath is a fresh design. The receiver is CNC machined from a single piece of steel and runs coil springs instead of the old leaf springs, along with independent floating firing pins and redesigned sears. The payoff is a boxlock built for longevity and consistent lock time, shot after shot. The single selectable mechanical trigger is a real highlight here. Because it doesn't rely on recoil to set the second barrel, you get a dependable follow-up even with light loads, and you can pick which barrel fires first depending on the shot you expect. Extractors lift spent hulls for easy removal, so your empties stay in your pocket instead of the brush.
Five Chokes Make This Sharp-Tail SxS a Do-It-All 12 Gauge
With 3 inch chambers and five flush-fit interchangeable choke tubes in the box, this gun covers a lot of ground. Screw in the open tubes for quail over points or a round of skeet, tighten things up for late-season pheasants or passing doves, and everything in between. A raised rib and brass bead up front keep the sight picture clean and traditional. The 14.5 inch length of pull fits most folks right out of the case, and it ships in a hard plastic case with the choke set so you're ready to pattern it the day it comes home. For anyone who has been wanting a proper side-by-side for the field or the clays course, this one earns its spot in the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CZ Sharp-Tail have ejectors or extractors?
The Sharp-Tail uses extractors rather than automatic ejectors. When you open the action, spent shells are lifted up so you can pull them out by hand. A lot of hunters prefer this setup since your empties don't go flying into the grass, and it keeps the action simpler.
Can I shoot 3 inch shells through the Sharp-Tail?
Yes, this 12 gauge model is chambered for 3 inch shells, so it handles everything from light 2.75 inch target loads up to heavier 3 inch hunting loads. That flexibility makes it a solid pick for pheasants, ducks over decoys, or an afternoon of clays.
What choke tubes come with the CZ Sharp-Tail 12 gauge?
It ships with five flush-fit interchangeable choke tubes covering the standard constrictions from open to tight. That range lets you set the gun up for close-flushing birds, longer passing shots, or clay games without buying anything extra. The tubes sit flush with the muzzle to preserve the gun's classic lines.
How does the single selectable trigger work on this shotgun?
One trigger fires both barrels, and a selector lets you choose which barrel goes first. Since the trigger is mechanical rather than inertia-driven, the second barrel is ready to fire even if the first shot was a light load or a misfire. It's a dependable system that's easy to get used to if you're new to doubles.
