The CZ 720 G3 is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun chambered in 20 gauge with a Turkish walnut stock and matte black chrome finish. The dual quick-change gas piston system is the practical centerpiece of the design: it lets you swap between settings for light and heavy loads without tools, so the same gun works on both light target loads and field ammunition.

Detailed Features 

 
The two interchangeable gas pistons handle the load variation that trips up single-piston designs, giving reliable cycling whether you're shooting 7/8 oz target loads or full 3-inch field loads. Five chokes are included: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder, covering the range from tight turkey patterns to open skeet work. The Turkish walnut stock adds weight where it helps control and looks good doing it. Oversized controls are practical in cold weather or with gloves. 
 

Target Audience 

 
Upland hunters who want a lighter-recoil alternative to 12 gauge, and sporting clays shooters who want a gas gun rather than an inertia gun, are the main buyers. Beginners will find the 20 gauge approachable; experienced shooters get a versatile platform. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

 
The 26-inch barrel handles pheasant and dove hunting at typical field ranges. On a clays course the five chokes let you adapt to each station. The 6.10-lb weight is manageable for full-day outings without being too light to control.

The CZ 720 G3 Elite draws praise for its build quality and the combination of walnut furniture with the matte black chrome finish, which most users find attractive and durable. The semi-automatic action is described as smooth by most owners, with reliable cycling across loads noted in hunting and range contexts.

Accuracy and consistent patterns are recurring positives. Users report tight groups on clay targets and good downrange performance on small game.

Price relative to similar gas-operated 20-gauge shotguns is a common point of discussion. Some feel the CZ offers solid value; others note that competing guns in the same price range are close in performance and the decision comes down to personal preference.

A smaller number of owners mention weight distribution as something they had to adjust to, and a few experienced shooters recommend pairing the gun with a recoil pad for extended range sessions. Customer service experiences vary, with prompt assistance reported by some and delays by others.
