Looking for CZ Drake 12 Gauge Review – What Are Your Thoughts?

I think it’s pretty easy! A touch-up pen can do wonders. Overall, I’ve been amazed at how few issues it’s had after hundreds of rounds.

CZ Drake has a great reputation for longevity. I’ve seen others post photos of their older models still going strong after many years. Definitely a buy you won’t regret.

Anyone struggled with its weight? After a full day of shooting, it can be a bit heavy. Thoughts?

I’ve had a similar concern! It’s not a deal-breaker for me, but sometimes I wish it was a bit lighter for those long days.

For me, the CZ Drake is a solid performer but sometimes it can misfeed if I’m not careful with my loading. Has anyone else experienced that?

Yes! I had that issue once but figured it was more my technique than the gun itself. When I load properly, it’s fantastic.

Overall, I think the CZ Drake is an excellent choice. It’s reliable and looks great. Just keep it maintained and it should last a lifetime!

I agree, but you really have to be attentive to its care. It’s like a good relationship! Neglect will show, haha.

I’m looking for feedback on the CZ Drake too! I’ve heard good things about the adjustable sights. Has anyone tried them?

I installed a set of fiber optic sights on my Drake, and they made a huge difference! They really help in low light situations.

I think the CZ Drake performs well right out of the box, but if you’re looking for modifications, consider adding a high-quality choke. It can enhance your shot pattern significantly.

Great point! Do you have a specific choke brand you recommend? I’m looking to improve my clay shooting goals.

I’ve been using the Carlson’s chokes with my Drake, and they work really well! I can’t recommend them enough.

I appreciate the tip! I’ll definitely check them out. Are there any other accessories that could help with recoil management?

For recoil management, a good slip-on recoil pad can work wonders. It’s a simple tweak that makes shooting a lot more comfortable.

Speaking of comfort, have any of you looked into custom stocks? They can really change the handling and feel of the firearm.

Absolutely! But they can also be pricey. Just a heads up for those on a budget.

A little humor: Why did the shotgun join the band? Because it wanted to improve its ‘note’ taking! :joy: But seriously, these mods sound great!

Haha! That’s classic! On a serious note, does anyone have experience with different barrels for the Drake?

I have a 28" barrel for mine. It really improves balance for hunting. Just make sure to check local regulations for hunting.
