Gun Review: CZ 628 Field Select — a bargain shotgun for upland hunters (VIDEO)
By Kristin Alberts
Sub-gauges like the 28 are more en vogue than ever these days and, while usually marketed and priced toward a higher-echelon clientele, guns like the CZ 628 Field Select are changing things. With upgraded wood and a host of chokes partnered with a bargain price tag, this dedicated bird gun is hoping to shake things up in the smaller-bore game.
CZ-USA’s 620 and 628 series
The 628 is one of a duo of new lightweight hunting shotguns from CZ-USA. Both the 620 and 628 are straightforward, no-nonsense slide actions. Naturally, the 620 is a 20-gauge and the 628 our test 28 gauge.

Both are built on gauge-specific 7075 aluminum actions, meaning lightweight is the name of the game, with neither going over 6 pounds. Each comes with a full set of interchangeable chokes for the ported 28-inch barrel. Both guns hold four rounds in the tube with one in the chamber. Metalwork is finished in a fairly standard gloss blue, and there’s the typical crossbolt safety behind the trigger. Our favorite part, however, is the select-grade Turkish Walnut stocks, which show much more character than one would expect on
