CZ hammer classic shotgun

[JD48]

I enjoy keeping things old school, been looking at this gun online, 12 ga., 30" barrels, exposed hammers, looks like could be fun to pheasant hunt with, only downside is it weights 7 1/2 pounds, don't know if i want to lug that much weight around, anybody familiar, have or shoot this gun?

Not familiar with that gun.  But my grandfather had a civil war error double barrel shot gun muzzleloader that weighed 9 lbs. I never hunted with it but it was his deer gun.

I used the same gun for a few deer and turkeys when I was a kid.  What a cannon!!  I still have it

Not a hammer gun but I wanted a more traditional gun.  Picked up the CZ bobwhite G2. It has straight English stock and double triggers.  Quick light double. 

@vdep217 can vouch for the gun. When it misses it's the guy behind the gun not the gun.  Lol

I mostly hunt with sxs, Ithaca, smith and wesson and L.C.Smith, thinking about trying a hammer gun
