Video review
Expert review
About this product
The CZ 620 Field Select is a field-ready 20-gauge pump shotgun built for upland game and waterfowl, offering a specific balance of light swing weight and modern choke versatility. It represents CZ's mid-tier blend of Turkish walnut with a gauge-specific aluminum action, designed to bridge traditional wood-and-steel shotguns and purely synthetic field guns. This 28-inch-barreled pump sits at $628.99—directly competing against other entry-level sporting shotguns without the compromises often seen at this price point.
What is the CZ 620 Field Select Pump Shotgun used for?
The CZ 620 Field Select is a dedicated upland and waterfowl shotgun for shooters who value a 20-gauge's reduced recoil and lighter overall weight in the field. Its 28-inch barrel with a vent rib provides a clean, consistent sight plane for tracking flushing birds, while the 4+1 capacity and 3-inch chamber allow for versatility across game loads from light #8 shot for clays to heavier #2 steel for ducks. I'd specifically recommend it for dove fields, pheasant cover, and smaller-frame shooters who find 12-gauges fatiguing after 300-400 rounds in a day.
How does the CZ 620 Field Select compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge?
The CZ 620 pump action offers simpler mechanical reliability at the expense of the rapid second shot capability provided by the Stevens 555's over-under design. Where the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge (compare here) delivers instant barrel selection and potentially tighter patterning through its fixed chokes, the CZ 620's pump system is less prone to fouling issues in wet or muddy conditions and features adjustable choke tubes. For a waterfowl hunter in a muddy blind, the CZ's pump is objectively more reliable; for a trap or sporting clays shooter, the Stevens O/U is the better tool.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This shotgun weighs 6.4 pounds unloaded, with a 14.5-inch length of pull and a 48.5-inch overall length including the 28-inch barrel. That weight is 0.8 pounds lighter than a typical 12-gauge pump with similar dimensions, achieved through the gauge-specific 7075 aluminum receiver. The balance point sits 2.5 inches forward of the trigger guard, giving it a slightly muzzle-forward feel that aids in smooth swing transitions—ideal for crossing shots on flushing quail or doves.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun is not for left-handed shooters, competitive 3-gun participants, or anyone needing magazine extensions for higher capacity. Its right-hand-only controls and crossbolt safety placement behind the trigger make it awkward for southpaws, while the fixed 4+1 tube magazine eliminates any capacity upgrades beyond plugging for migratory bird hunting. If you're running practical shotgun matches or need ambidextrous controls, look at tactical-specific pumps from brands like Mossberg or Benelli.
What's in the box?
You receive the shotgun, three interchangeable choke tubes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full), a choke tube wrench, and the owner's manual with warranty paperwork. The chokes are mounted in a plastic carrier, not a hard case, and the wrench is a simple stamped-steel design. It does not include a carrying case, sling swivels, or any additional accessories—this is a bare-bones field-ready package that assumes you'll provide your own transportation and mounting solutions.
Is the CZ 620 Field Select worth it at $628.99?
At $628.99, this shotgun represents solid value for a dedicated field hunter who wants modern choke versatility paired with traditional walnut furniture. You're paying approximately $150-200 more than basic Mossberg or Remington pumps with synthetic stocks, but getting a select-grade Turkish walnut stock that would cost $300+ as an aftermarket upgrade. Compared to our Stevens 334 rifle line which starts in the $400s, the CZ's upgraded wood and finish justify the premium for hunters who appreciate aesthetics alongside function.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 20-gauge choke tubes?
- Yes, it uses the standard Invector-style choke tube threading common to most modern 20-gauge shotguns. The included tubes are made by CZ, but any aftermarket Invector tube from brands like Briley or Carlson's will fit. The thread pattern measures 0.750 inches in diameter at the muzzle end.
- Does it fit in a standard 52-inch shotgun case?
- Yes, the 48.5-inch overall length fits comfortably in most standard 52-inch hard or soft cases with room for chokes and accessories. For exact fit, I recommend the Plano All-Weather 52-inch case or the Boyt Harness 50-inch canvas case—both provide 2-3 inches of clearance at the muzzle.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- Standard ground shipping to Montana addresses typically takes 7-10 business days from our warehouse in Pennsylvania, plus 1-2 days for FFL processing. Express 2-day air is available for an additional $45 if ordered before 2 PM Eastern time on weekdays.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit me properly?
- Yes, within 30 days of delivery with original packaging and unfired condition, subject to a 15% restocking fee. We strongly recommend checking the 14.5-inch length of pull against your own measurements first—for reference, most adult males need 14-15 inches, while youth or smaller-frame shooters often need 13-14 inches.
- Does this work with aftermarket sling swivels?
- Yes, but the stock requires drilling and installation of standard 1-inch swivel studs at a cost of $40-60 at most gunsmiths. The forend has a pre-drilled hole for the front stud; the buttstock needs professional installation to avoid cracking the walnut. Quick-detach models from Uncle Mike's or Grovtec fit perfectly once installed.
