And so far I likey. Very slim design. It doesn't have the wide beavertail style forearm. I really like the english style straight buttstock too. Shoulders and points well. Fit and finish look good. Triggers aren't exactly light but not untolerable. I had read where some people claimed theirs came with 11 lb triggers. I haven't pulled out my trigger gauge for a check yet but they are no where near that heavy. It came broken down in a nice little carrying case with each part in a velvet sleeve. And the walnut even has a bit of decent grain to it.
Please forgive the terrible phone cam pics but it's all I had time for before going in to work.

It looks well blued and I'd reckon it points like a broomstick with the Engliish forearm. Shotgun dude I know says first thing to do is dryfire a new o/u or s/s 50-75 times to let the triggers work.

I’d love to get a 28 gauge.

CZ makes it in a 28 and a 20 gauge. I debated a 20 and if I still like this one after shooting it a bit I may get a 20. You know, for my son. Yeah, that's it. That one will be my son Jacobs gun. LOL!
I have always been leary of a 28 gauge. Seems like shells would be a lot harder to find. How much are you limiting yourself range wise with a 28 gauge on small birds like dove?

For dove/quail and normal upland, you’re not going to see much difference in range between a 20 & 28. It’s similar to the 16/12ga comparison. If you’re in that correct load weight range for either 3/4-1oz, there’s not going to be a lot of difference. Plenty even claim a 28 is better than a 20, due to gun weight and balance. I don’t disagree. Until you get to 3” charge weights, the 28 is far closer to a 20, and nothing like a 410.
As for shells, they’re like a 16.....deals online, and the occasional deal local, and just stock up. For a while, Cabelas Herters 16 and 28s were priced the same as 20 and 12 per box. I bought the snot out of them (16s). Good cheddite hulls for loading, too. Local hardware store did the same thing one time before dove season. I bought ALL their estate 16s at <$6/box. They had 28s same price, too.
