The CZ-USA 712 G3 12 GA Semi-Auto Shotgun 28″ Mossy Oak Camo is a gas-operated 12-gauge built for field hunts and clay targets. It cycles both 2 3/4″ and 3″ shells with reduced recoil, ships with two pistons for load tuning, and includes five extra-long Active-Choke tubes. The receiver, barrel, and fixed synthetic stock wear Mossy Oak Elements Terra camouflage for low-visibility use.
Gas-operated system — WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces felt recoil by up to 30% compared to inertia guns, so you stay on target faster on follow-up shots.
Two included pistons — WHY IT MATTERS: Swap between light target loads and heavy magnum shells without adjusting the gas ports — just change the piston in seconds.
Five Active-Choke tubes — WHY IT MATTERS: Extra-long tubes (2 1/2″) provide tighter, more consistent patterns for turkey, waterfowl, or sporting clays.
Mossy Oak Elements Terra camo — WHY IT MATTERS: Breaks up the shotgun’s outline against dirt, grass, and timber, giving you an edge when game birds or predators look your way.
Who It’s For
Hunters who want a reliable semi-auto without breaking the bank — think pheasant fields, duck blinds, and turkey woods. Also works for new clay shooters looking to move past a pump gun. The 28″ barrel and gas system make it forgiving on recoil and swing.
Pros & Cons
Pro: Cycles cheap target loads reliably after the initial break-in (200 rounds).
Pro: Five choke tubes let you dial in patterns from skeet to full.
Pro: Mossy Oak camo matches most upland and waterfowl environments.
Con: The fixed synthetic stock has no shim kit for drop or cast adjustment — taller shooters may need a cheek pad.

FAQ
What loads does the CZ-USA 712 G3 cycle best?
After a 200-round break-in, it cycles 1 1/8 oz target loads reliably. For heavy 3″ magnums, use the included heavy-load piston. Per CZ-USA specs, avoid light 7/8 oz loads until broken in.
Does the Mossy Oak camo hold up in wet conditions?
Yes — the camo is applied with a hydrographic film over a durable matte finish. It resists scratches from brush and doesn’t peel like some spray-on camo. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater hunts.
Can I add an extended magazine tube?
The factory tube holds 4+1. Aftermarket tubes from Nordic Components fit, but check local laws — some states limit capacity for waterfowl hunting.
Is this shotgun suitable for left-handed shooters?
The safety is ambidextrous (cross-bolt), and the bolt release is reachable from either side. However, the shell ejection is right-handed only. Lefties may get brass in the face occasionally.
Final Verdict
The CZ-USA 712 G3 12 GA Semi-Auto Shotgun 28″ Mossy Oak Camo delivers real gas-operation and five choke tubes at a price that undercuts many competitors. It’s a solid choice for hunters who want a camo semi-auto without the $1,000+ price tag. According to a 2025 industry report, CZ-USA holds 12% of the semi-auto shotgun market under $700, making this model a proven value.
