CZ-USA BOBWHITE G2 SOUTHPAW

For Tennessee shooters who value precision and tradition, the CZ-USA BOBWHITE G2 Southpaw offers a deliberate, left-handed layout for those who shoulder a shotgun on the left side. Whether you are working a dove field in West Tennessee or walking a quail plantation in the southern part of the state, this over/under provides the fit and function that left-handed shooters often miss in standard production shotguns. It is a tool built for the field, the range, and the pursuit of clean, ethical shots.

What This Product Is and Who It Is For

The CZ-USA BOBWHITE G2 Southpaw is a break-action over/under shotgun chambered in 12 gauge or 20 gauge, with a 28-inch barrel and a select walnut stock. It is specifically designed for left-handed shooters, with the stock cast and the tang safety reversed to accommodate a southpaw’s natural shoulder and cheek weld. This shotgun is for the hunter who spends long days in the field, the clay target shooter who wants a reliable double gun, and the collector who appreciates a well-fitted, functional firearm. It is not a tactical or home-defense tool; it is a field gun meant for wingshooting, upland hunting, and recreational clay sports. This model is appropriate for licensed FFL transfers in Tennessee and is a solid choice for shooters who prefer the simplicity and balance of an over/under action.

Feature Deep-Dive: What Makes the Bobwhite G2 Southpaw Worth Buying

The left-handed stock geometry is the defining feature of this shotgun. Unlike many “ambidextrous” stocks that compromise fit for both shoulders, the Southpaw version of the Bobwhite G2 is cast specifically for a left-handed shooter. This means the stock is shaped to align the shooter’s eye naturally with the rib, reducing the need to cant the head or strain the neck. For Tennessee hunters who fire hundreds of rounds in a season, this fit reduces fatigue and improves consistency on rising birds.

The boxlock action is a proven design that has been used in field guns for over a century. It is simpler than a sidelock, with fewer moving parts, which translates to reliable function and easier maintenance. The single selective trigger allows the shooter to choose which barrel fires first via a sliding button on the trigger blade. This is useful for selecting a tighter choke for the first shot and a more open choke for the second, a common strategy in upland hunting. The trigger is crisp and breaks cleanly, with a pull weight that suits field use without being too heavy for fast follow-up shots.

The 28-inch barrel with a ventilated rib provides a balance between swing speed and pointing stability. A 28-inch barrel is a versatile length for most hunting and clay target disciplines, offering enough length for a smooth swing on crossing targets while remaining maneuverable in brushy cover. The ventilated rib reduces mirage on warm days and provides a flat sighting plane. The brass bead front sight is simple and durable, offering a clear reference point without the complexity of fiber optics or adjustable sights. For a field gun, this simplicity is an advantage, as there are fewer components to snag or break.

The select walnut stock is made from American or European walnut, selected for grain and color consistency. The satin oil finish protects the wood from moisture and light impacts without the high-gloss shine that can reflect sunlight in the field. The pistol grip provides a secure hold, and the fore-end is slim enough to allow the support hand to slide forward for a more natural point of aim. The checkering is cut at a moderate 20 lines per inch, offering grip without being too aggressive for bare hands. The stock is also fitted with a Pachmayr-style recoil pad, which softens the impact of heavy field loads without adding noticeable weight.

The extractors lift spent shells for easy removal but do not eject them forcefully. This is a deliberate choice for a field gun, as it prevents losing empty shells in tall grass or water. It also allows shooters to control the pace of reloading, which is helpful when hunting with a dog or in tight quarters. The blued finish on the barrels and receiver is traditional and corrosion-resistant, though it will show wear with regular use. This is not a safe queen; it is a working shotgun that will develop a patina over time, which many shooters appreciate as a sign of honest use.

Finally, the Southpaw configuration includes a reversed tang safety. On a standard shotgun, the safety slides to the right to fire, which is awkward for a left-handed shooter. Here, the safety slides to the left, allowing the thumb of the shooting hand to disengage it naturally without shifting the grip. This small detail makes a significant difference in the field, where a split-second hesitation can mean the difference between a clean kill and a missed opportunity. For left-handed shooters in Tennessee, this is a feature that most production over/unders simply do not offer.

Ideal Use Cases

• Upland Hunting: The Bobwhite G2 Southpaw is purpose-built for walking up quail, pheasant, grouse, and woodcock. The 28-inch barrel and lightweight construction make it easy to carry through brush and fields.
• Waterfowl Hunting: With 3-inch chambers, it can handle steel shot loads for ducks and geese, though the fixed chokes (typically improved cylinder and modified) require careful shot selection for long-range birds.
• Clay Target Sports: Suitable for trap, skeet, and sporting clays as a recreational gun. The left-handed stock helps with consistent mount and point of impact.
• Collecting: The traditional design and select walnut stock make it an attractive addition to a collection of classic field shotguns.
• Not recommended for: Home defense, concealed carry, or tactical applications. This is a field gun with a 2-round capacity and no provision for optics or accessories.

Compatibility Notes

• Ammunition: Accepts 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch shells in the appropriate gauge. Use standard velocity or high-brass field loads for best performance. Steel shot is acceptable for waterfowl, but verify choke constriction before use.
• Holsters and Mags: Not applicable. This is a break-action shotgun with no detachable magazine. No holster is required for field carry.
• Accessories: Compatible with standard over/under choke tubes (if equipped; verify with your specific model). Aftermarket recoil pads and stock spacers can be fitted by a gunsmith. Sling swivels are not included but can be installed.
• FFL Transfer: This firearm must be shipped to a licensed FFL dealer in Tennessee for transfer. TN-Guns.com will coordinate with your chosen FFL.
