The CZ 720 3" 20 gauge semi-automatic shotgun is a soft-recoiling gas-operated workhorse built for hunters and clay shooters who want real performance without breaking the bank. This 20-gauge autoloader carries a compact profile with its 28" barrel and 4-round capacity, making it nimble in the field and responsive on the range. The 720's gas system is engineered to handle both light and heavy loads with minimal felt recoil—critical for all-day hunting or competition shooting where follow-up shots matter.

CZ USA refined the 720's design around shooter comfort and practical functionality. The oversized controls are intuitive even in cold weather or with gloved hands, and the bead front sight keeps you on target in quick-acquisition scenarios. The matte black finish sheds glare and resists corrosion, fitting seamlessly into any serious shooter's battery. At 6.1 lbs, the 720 balances pointability with stability, whether you're swinging on passing birds or working a clay course.

What sets the 720 apart is its versatility. The gun ships with two quick-change gas pistons, so you can dial the system for light or heavy ammunition without guesswork or gunsmithing—swap, test, done. The package includes five CZ Active Extended chokes (Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder), giving you the flexibility to match pattern and velocity to any hunting situation or clay target event. Cast-on and drop stock shims are included for custom fit, so you can dial in your gun's handling and ergonomics to your frame. Everything arrives in a premium lockable hard case, ready to transport securely.
