The CZ 712 G3 (CZ part no. 06168) is a 12 Gauge gas-operated semi-auto shotgun equally at home in the field or on a clay target course. Its gas system reduces felt recoil and cycles both 2-3/4-inch and 3-inch shotshells, and two included pistons let shooters tune the action for light target loads or heavy waterfowl loads. The chrome-lined barrel holds up under extended firing while five extra-long Active-Choke tubes give the 712 G3 the versatility to handle skeet, trap, upland, and waterfowl hunting from a single shotgun finished in Mossy Oak Elements Terra camouflage.
