Dylan asked about the CZ Bobwhite G2 (Gen 2) that's head and shoulders above earlier Bobwhites that as I understand were made with parts sourced from a cooperative/multiple locations in Huglu, Turkey. CZ invested in CNC machinery in a modern dedicated factory and the Gen 2's I've seen and handled were well made and shot well. In particular the Bobwhite G2 "Project Upland" version in 28 or 20 gauge is an excellent Upland adaptation with side plates and better wood, along with 28" barrels, flush choke tubes, double triggers, extractors, straight grip stock with so-called modern dimensions and longish LOP. The barrels have a high and wide rib that creates a very distinct sighting plane. The PU version was a limited run and has now been discontinued starting 2023 but NIB guns can still be found hit and miss on GB, GI, etc. Lastly, pricing won't break the bank and you get a good factory warranty.
My advice is to put aside any cavalier thoughts and take an objective look at a CZ Bobwhite G2 smallbore if you get a chance.
