Does this eject the shells or extract them for easy pulling?

Hi Douglas and welcome. This model has dual Independent Ejectors, so the shells are auto ejected when the action is opened. Cheers and stay safe.

This is right in the description, you must have missed it? "With a silver receiver and ejectors that kick out the spent shells automatically"

Douglas, this has independent auto ejectors. Also comes with 5 flush-mount choke tubes, (Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Clyinder, Cylinder)all inside a hard plastic case. Stay safe & have a great day!

wondering if this one is Ca compliant also

John, this is CA compliant, there are no restrictions on over/under shotguns in CA. Have a great day!

John, yes Sir it is. CA has zero restrictions on break barrel, pump, bolt and lever firearms. Semi-Auto's are the restricted firearm category. Details under Shotguns here : budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf -- Cheers and stay safe!

Yes it is CA compliant. Please remember to vote pro gun in future elections!! Stay safe and happy plinking!!

John, yes sir it is. This one's also California compliant being a under over. Hope this helps.

Is a recoil pad built in? Is it adequate?

it is attached with 2 screws and is easily changed out, It will depend on the type of shooting you are doing and the number of rounds you will shoot at a session

Kevin, it is not in my opinion but, you could supplement it with : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/712003730/allen+recoil+eraser+sm+slip+on+black

Does the safety engage every-time the gun in charged? Or is it up to the shooter to manually engage it.

The Redhead shotgun has a manual tang safety - it is up to the shooter to engage/disengage the safety

Sean, the "Manual Tang Safety" allows the shooter to select to manually engage or disengage the safety.

Would this hold up to target shooting every weekend or would the weatherby orion sporting be a better choice?

the CZ is in the same class as the Weatherby orion they will be fine for years unless you get real serious about sporting clay or another clay shooting sport

The flagship of our over/under line, the tried-and-true Redhead also gets our new 1-piece CNCed receiver. In addition, it gets the same laser-cut checkering, solid mid-ribs, pistol grip and a classy white bead. The Redhead Premier is a true all-purpose shotgun, it s just as comfortable to shoot at a sporting clays event as it is when chasing chukhar in the mountains. With a silver receiver and ejectors that kick out the spent shells automatically, the Redhead Premier is packed with features that can t be found on another shotgun in its price range. Turkish Walnut stocks, independent auto ejectors and 5 flush-mount choke tubes, all inside a hard plastic case.

The CZ Red Premier has performed as described; good value for the quality of the shotgun (when I bought it CZ was offering $100 manufacturer's incentive which helped offset the NY FFL transfer fee). Buds' customer service is excellent. I had a question regarding the fact that the shade of the wood on the website photo appeared darker than the actual product. They offered a full reimbursement, however, I decided to keep the shotgun. The stock photo Buds used was the one from the CZ Website so it was not Buds' fault at all. I will certainly buy again from Buds gun shop. On a different topic the NY firearms laws have become so dacronian that on-line stores like Buds have stopped shipping ammunition to NY State in order to avoid any action by the NY Attorney General. I understand Buds and others' reasons to take this position, however, it does not make it any less frustrating.

Looked at options for O/Us for over 2 years before deciding on the Redhead. Great decision, love this gun.

Be more specific on your description. When I was shopping for O/U n/a of the shotgun says auto eject.

The CZ Redhead Premier is a very nice gun for the money. Well balance, fit and nice finish.
Thank you Buds Guns for the fast delivery !

The fit and finish was fantastic. The break was very smooth from the very start, and I'm frankly quite impressed with the how much shotgun I received for the money. It feels well balanced, light weight, and solidly built.

The RedHead is the real deal, just need to tweak my hold.
Shipping is another story, 7 days from Lexington, Ky to Muncie, in??????, (5 hours on a bad day) The product either sat on the shipping dock or was not in stock.Then you overnight the piece to me.
I will remove your business from my goto firearms store.
I know you won't miss me or my future purchases, but wishing your team of ?????s a good year.

Great entry level O/U for the price. Came with 5 chokes and a nice plastic case. Put 100 rounds through it the day after I got it and like the results.

i received the CZ Redhead Target few weeks ago. This gun is beautiful however please grease the action well, did I say well ? slop it on and make sure you push the barrel release until it clicks!!!!! this is due to a very strong spring according to CZ. I had trouble with it the first time I took her to the clay range as it would not open to cock the hammer. Distressing to say the least. I have not given up on it as it is a great value and a nice looking shotgun.
