CZ Sharp-Tail 12 Gauge Side-by-Side, 28 Inch
CZ's new Sharp-Tail is a modern side-by-side shotgun featuring a one-piece CNCed receiver with independent floating firing pins, coil spring hammers, and a single selectable trigger. Turkish walnut stock, 28-inch barrels, color case-hardened finish, and includes five flush choke tubes.
The CZ Sharp-Tail: A Modern Classic
CZ has completely reimagined the side-by-side shotgun with the Sharp-Tail, combining time-tested design principles with modern manufacturing and materials. This is not a cosmetic update—it's a fundamental redesign from the ground up.
Engineering Excellence
The Sharp-Tail features a one-piece CNCed receiver that represents a significant departure from traditional shotgun construction. Rather than relying on leaf springs, CZ engineers specified coil spring operation throughout, resulting in:
- Independent floating firing pins for consistent ignition
- Coil spring operated hammers for reliability and longevity
- Newly designed sears that ensure crisp, predictable trigger breaks
This modern approach translates to longer service life and greater consistency shot after shot.
Practical Features for the Field
The 28-inch barrels strike an excellent balance between handling and performance. The semi-beavertail forend provides a comfortable grip while maintaining classic aesthetics. Five flush-mounted, interchangeable choke tubes allow you to adapt to different hunting situations without tools.
The single selectable trigger lets you choose which barrel fires first—a practical advantage when hunting upland game or waterfowl. A manual safety keeps things straightforward and reliable.
