Key Features
- Reduced Length of Pull (13″) — Shorter stock brings the comb closer to the action, letting smaller-statured shooters mount the gun naturally without crawling the stock.
- 24″ Ventilated Rib Barrels — The shorter barrels keep the swing quick and pointable in tight cover, while the ventilated rib provides a clear sight plane for fast target acquisition.
- Five Internal Choke Tubes (F, IM, M, IC, C) — Full to Cylinder chokes let you dial in pattern density for everything from doves to clays, without buying extra tubes.
- Single Selective Trigger with Auto Ejectors — Select which barrel fires first via the tang-mounted safety; empty shells kick out automatically for faster reloads.
- Turkish Walnut Field Stock — Oil-finished walnut with a slim grip and Schnabel fore-end reduces felt recoil and gives a classic field-gun look.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for youth shooters, women, or any small-statured hunter who needs a 20-gauge that actually fits. The 13″ LOP and 24″ barrels make it ideal for upland birds, rabbits, and sporting clays where quick mounting and swing matter more than reach. It’s also a solid choice for a first over/under for a new shooter graduating from a single-shot.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: The 13″ LOP is a true youth/small-stature dimension — most compact O/Us still run 14″ or longer.
- Pro: Chrome-lined barrels and receiver resist rust and wear, even in wet weather.
- Con: The stock is fixed — no spacers or adjustable comb, so fit is one-size. If you need a longer LOP, you’ll need to swap the stock.

FAQ
What is the length of pull on the CZ-USA Redhead Premier Reduced Length?

What is the weight of the CZ-USA Redhead Premier Reduced Length?
