The CZ-USA 1020 G2 delivers reliable semi-automatic performance in a lightweight 20-gauge platform that handles everything from upland birds to sporting clays. This gas-operated shotgun combines CZ's proven reliability with enhanced ergonomics and versatility for serious shooters.
What Makes This Different
The 1020 G2 features CZ's refined gas system that cycles consistently with loads from light target shells to heavy 3-inch magnums. The bronze anodized receiver resists corrosion while providing distinctive aesthetics that set it apart from standard black finishes. Oversized controls allow quick operation even with gloves, addressing a common complaint with traditional semi-automatic shotguns.
Key Features
- Gas-operated semi-automatic action cycles 2¾" and 3" shells reliably
- 28-inch chrome-lined barrel with ventilated rib for improved heat dissipation
- Bronze anodized aluminum receiver with grade II walnut stock and forend
- Five extended choke tubes (F, IM, M, IC, C) for versatile shot patterns
- Weaver optics rail allows red dot or scope mounting
- Oversized trigger guard and bolt release for enhanced operation
- Fiber optic front bead sight for quick target acquisition
Field performance proves consistent across hunting scenarios, from fast-flushing quail to high-flying waterfowl. The 20-gauge chambering reduces felt recoil compared to 12-gauge alternatives while maintaining effective downrange energy. The gas system self-regulates across different shell weights without manual adjustment, ensuring reliable cycling in varying conditions.
