CZ-USA Redhead Premier Project Upland Break Action Over/Under Shotgun 20 Gauge 3" Chamber 28" Barrel 2Rd Capacity Grade III Walnut Stock Black Finish
Co-designed by the Project Upland online community, this great-looking over/under builds on our tried-and-true Redhead Premier and adds a number of small changes as well as the addition of Grade III Turkish walnut.
Building on our one-piece CNCed ejector over/under action, this special model shares many of the standard features of the Redhead, to include single trigger, pistol grip, solid mid-rib, vented top rib, silver chrome receiver and black chrome barrels. Adding to those are the fine Grade III furniture, our patent-pending magnetic chamber, the upland-style forend borrowed from our Drake model, a brass front bead and a vented recoil pad.
As with the standard Redhead Premier, this model ships with five flush-mount chokes.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 20-gauge follows the 12-gauge as America's second-most popular shotgun gauge. And, with modern shotshells, continues to gain ground. The 20-gauge has a bore diameter of .615-inch, with modern shells in either 2 3/4 "standard" or 3-inch "magnum" length. Most modern shotguns are chambered to handle both. Payloads vary from light-recoiling 5/8-ounce loads all the way to heavy turkey loads carrying 1 5/16 ounces of shot. Standard 2 3/4" loads for targets and upland birds are normally 7/8 or one ounce. At its very best the 20-gauge does not have the capability of a 12-gauge...but with modern shot, wad columns, and chokes it doesn't give up much, and it can be built into a much lighter shotgun developing less recoil. Virtually all manufacturers offer 20-gauge guns, and they are available in all action types and for virtually all shotgunning sports. The 20-gauge joins the 12, 28, and .410 as one of four events in skeet competition, and is becoming increasingly popular for sporting clays.
