    Thoughts and/or opinions on CZ 712 Target?

    Contemplating this for trap/5-stand... just not sure what type of choke to go for if I do get this. Thanks in advance!

    Looked at one this week. Things I did not like was the finish, which looked like parkerized. The trigger felt a little heavy as well.

      While it is not the same gun exactly...
      I have a CZ 712 Utility and it rapidly becoming a favorite. It is lightweight, fast and points well.
      The CZ 712 is a worthwhile shotgun

            Thanks, but I'm all good in those areas. Just need to know if this shotgun is as good as advertised.

              I am thinking about the standard 712 as I was thinking about using it for sporting clays and skeet, thinking that the 28" might be better than the 30" Target for that, and then try it for trap or continue to use my 30" Wingmaster Trap for that. It is also about $150 less.

              What do you think of the finish on the 712? It reminds me of what was on my RIA 1911 Tactical. That is one of my biggest turnoffs of this gun.

              I really like the video on the CZ site for the 712. Reminds me of videos of people shooting ground squirrels.

                Ended up buying the 712 Target today. Not in love with the finish, but think that is better for me since I mainly shoot trap. I will update when I get a chance to shoot it.

                  Congrats! I didn't realize the finish was the parkerized type... but it's fine as long as it shoots well without any problems.

                  Please let me know, thanks!

                    I think they call the finish on the receiver a black chrome. Looks like they went for a matte finish rather than a glossy like they do on the 912.

                      Glad to hear that people are liking these. Bout to pick up a 712 ALS to build into a 3 gun shotgun.

                            Ordered the Utility tonight. Probably won't see it for bit though, vendor is backed up on shipping.

                              I kinda wanna get a 912 if I can afford it before 2014.
