The CZ-USA 720 G3 is a 20-gauge semi-automatic shotgun with a 28-inch barrel and Turkish walnut stock. The longer barrel aids downrange shot development and works particularly well on crossing targets at a sporting clays course or on dove and pheasant in open fields.

Detailed Features 

 
The 28-inch barrel gives the gun good swing momentum on crossing shots. Five chokes are included: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder, covering the range of pattern densities from trap shooting to open-field pass shooting. The walnut stock is aesthetically consistent with the matte black chrome finish on the receiver. At 6.10 lbs the gun is light enough to carry comfortably over a full day's hunting. The crossbolt safety is straightforward to operate. 
 

Target Audience 

 
Upland hunters and sporting clays shooters who want a semi-auto 20 gauge with a longer barrel for better swing-through on moving targets. Newer shooters benefit from the 20 gauge's reduced recoil; experienced shooters get a platform that handles a variety of applications. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

 
The 28-inch barrel is the differentiator here. On a dove field or at a high-bird sporting clays stand, the longer tube helps build lead and follow through consistently. The five included chokes mean you do not need to buy additional tubes right away.

The CZ 720 G3 with the 28-inch walnut stock gets positive feedback on its build quality and appearance. Users consistently describe the walnut grain and fit as attractive, and the matte black chrome finish holds up well in field conditions according to most owners.

Action reliability is a theme in multiple reviews. Owners report smooth cycling across a range of 20-gauge loads, including lighter target ammunition, which indicates the gas system handles load variation well.

The 20 gauge caliber gets favorable attention for its combination of useful performance and manageable recoil. Hunters pursuing upland game and clay shooters both note it handles their respective applications without punishing the shooter.

Some users mention the gun cycles best after a short break-in period with full-power loads, which is common with gas-operated semi-autos. A few experienced shooters suggest aftermarket trigger work or optic additions for competition use, though the gun functions well as delivered.

Price discussions are mixed. Most feel the combination of walnut stock, longer barrel, and five chokes represents fair value, though a handful of buyers consider similar alternatives before settling on the CZ.

The walnut stock gives this CZ a really attractive appearance without looking overdone. More importantly, it shoots well, and that simple combination of good looks and satisfying performance is exactly what stands out to me about this 20 gauge.
