About this product
The CZ Upland Ultralight All-Terrain 20ga 28in Walnut/ODG is a field-ready over-and-under shotgun chambered in 20 Gauge with a 28-inch vent rib barrel and OD Green Cerakote finish designed for upland hunting in variable conditions. It weighs 5.9 pounds and handles 3-inch shells while including five extended choke tubes for versatile patterning. The Turkish walnut stock and corrosion-resistant finish make it suitable for hunters who cover ground with dogs or in wet environments.
What is the CZ Upland Ultralight All-Terrain 20ga used for?
This shotgun is built for upland bird hunting over pointing dogs in mixed terrain where weight and environmental resistance matter. The 5.9-pound weight and 28-inch barrel balance swing dynamics for fast acquisition on flushing birds like grouse or pheasant. The OD Green Cerakote finish protects against moisture and brush abrasion during extended field use.
How does the CZ Upland Ultralight compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge?
The CZ Upland Ultralight is better for walk-and-shoot hunters needing lightweight carry, while the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge excels at clay target work with its heavier 7.2-pound weight and longer 30-inch barrel. The Stevens provides more stable swing for sustained target tracking, but the CZ’s 5.9-pound frame reduces fatigue over 5+ miles of walking. Choose the CZ for field mobility and the Stevens for range consistency.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This shotgun weighs 5.9 pounds (94.4 ounces) with an overall length of 45.5 inches and a 28-inch barrel. The length of pull measures 14.5 inches, and the vent rib width is 8mm for consistent sight alignment. These dimensions prioritize maneuverability in thick cover without sacrificing barrel length for pattern density.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun is not for high-volume clay shooters or waterfowl hunters needing 3.5-inch chamber compatibility. The 2-round capacity and light weight lead to faster felt recoil with heavy loads compared to heavier target guns like the Stevens 555 Sporting. Waterfowlers should consider a the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win for longer-range work or a dedicated 12-gauge with 3.5-inch chambering.
What's in the box?
The box includes the shotgun, five extended choke tubes (F, IM, M, IC, C), a choke tube key, and owner's manual. The chokes are packaged in a segmented plastic case, and the manual covers disassembly for cleaning and choke installation. No hard case is included — plan for a $50-$100 aftermarket solution for transport.
Is the CZ Upland Ultralight worth it at $875.99?
At $875.99, this shotgun delivers value for upland hunters prioritizing weight savings and environmental protection over target-grade refinements. The Cerakote finish adds $150-$200 in aftermarket value compared to blued alternatives, and the Turkish walnut stock is above entry-grade. For hunters covering ground with dogs, the 5.9-pound weight justifies the cost versus heavier alternatives like the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge review, which weighs 6.8 pounds.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with aftermarket choke tubes?
- Yes, it uses Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke threads, which are industry-standard for aftermarket options. You can find tubes from Carlson's, Briley, or Patternmaster in this thread pattern. The included extended chokes are 65mm long with notched ends for tool-free adjustment in the field.
- Does it fit in a standard 48-inch shotgun case?
- No, the 45.5-inch overall length requires a case with at least 46 inches of interior space. Most standard cases measure 48 inches externally but have 44-45 inches internally. Plan for a case like the Plano All-Weather 52-inch model to avoid compression on the stock.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping takes 3-7 business days for in-stock items via FedEx Ground or UPS. Firearms require FFL transfer, so add 1-2 days for processing if your dealer isn't on file. Expedited options are available for $25-$50 extra through Ironclad Armory.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused items, but firearms require a 15% restocking fee and original packaging. FFL transfer fees are non-refundable, typically $25-$50 depending on your dealer. Contact [email protected] for a return authorization number before shipping.
- Does this work with a recoil pad?
- Yes, the stock is compatible with standard 1-inch thick recoil pads like the Pachmayr Decelerator or Limbsaver Airtech. Installation requires sanding and fitting — expect to spend $30-$50 for the pad and another $20-$40 for gunsmith fitting if you lack tools.
