I am a bit late adding to this thread. I have a 16ga Ringneck. I have used it two hunting seasons, solely on California quail in Northern Nevada. I shoot behind a good pointing dog and did not miss a bird. As posted, it is straight and since I have lost a lot of weight, it fits my cheek extremley well.
The only new thing I have to say is that I had a very competent store selling various shotguns weigh the gun. On a scale used by a gunsmith it weighed 7.5 lbs. It is a good piece of wood. wood to metal is very good, etc.
In my opinion, I should have had this gun a few years ago when pass shooting doves and pigeons wirh more powerful shells in the California Imperial Valley. Following a dog, I think the Bobwhite with 26 inch barrels instead of 28 inch would be better in Nevada. The gun is just too darn heavy to carry for hours.
I shoot 7/8 oz shells; don't need anything more than that using a good dog. |

| I have owned my 16 ga CZ Ringneck since the 2006 season. I bring it to South Dakota every year and I use 1 1/8 oz #6 shot on the roosters. Great combo. The Ringneck is my "go to" shotgun for upland bird hunting. |

Not 16 ga., but I've used a 12 gauge CZ/Huglu Bobwhite SxS for the past 18 months. A decent gun for the money, and it comes with 3" chambers and five choke tubes.
The Bobwhite has a straight/english stock.
After 1,400 rounds it began to "double" with heavy hunting loads. I sent it to their warranty center in K.C., and they returned it fully repaired within 3 weeks at no cost.
