Size
Despite being a mass-produced gun, the CZ Redhead Premier feels custom-made. Weighing just under 8 pounds and measuring 46 inches in length, the gun handles exceptionally well. It is far from the old, unwieldy shotguns that many might associate with over/under weapons. Instead, the CZ Redhead Premier handles as well as it shoots.
Performance
The CZ Redhead Premier doesn’t disappoint when it comes to accuracy (which cannot be said about me), given you are not asking it to do anything it wasn’t meant to. Since our GRITR Range doesn’t allow for shotgun usage, we had to visit the nearest range that does. I’ll be honest with you guys, I’m not particularly good at skeet shooting, so I can only convey my experience and impressions handling the gun.
I can definitely say that in more skillful hands this shotgun will unleash its true potential. However, even I managed to score more than half of my singles and miraculously got a double.
Reliability is a key factor when choosing any firearm, shotguns are no exception. The CZ Redhead Premier is as reliable as a Swiss watch. I haven’t shot thousands of shells through it, since I had three other CZ shotguns to test and still want to afford my rent, but the hundred that I shot came out with no issues. I don’t know which part is responsible for that level of reliability, so I’ll call it a collective effort. But the independent auto-ejectors definitely deserve a mention. They are easy to clean and maintain, adding to the gun’s overall reliability.
