Does anyone have experience with this firearm? I'm looking at an o/u yet don't want to break my bank, and want to be able to beat it to hell without feeling guilty

No experience, but CZ produces quality guns. If you're recoil sensitive, the light weight may give you a pretty hard knock. A few rounds hunting in the course of a day shouldn't bother you. Shooting clays may add up to a little soreness, but only you know what you can tolerate.

That's what Ice heard about cz products, they're hard to beat. As far as recoil. I'm 24 and pretty resilient, so recoil isn't a big deal.
 
I held one at Kittery a couple of weeks ago. They had it used for $560 with extended chokes. Its really light and shoulders well, but from everything I have read about them its not the best clays gun being that its not steel. I recently picked up an ATI Cavalry O/U for $479 OTD. If I get 2 years out of it im happy, and I wont feel guilty about beating the hell out of it one bit.
 
The Ultralight is made for upland hunting, being light as possible to avoid fatigue of carrying it in the field. If that's all you're looking for then I think it will be fine. I haven't hunted with it but looked at it a bit before I ended up buying my CZ Wingshooter. If you are looking for an inexpensive but quality O/U that you can use in the field AND as a light duty clays gun, I would go with the CZ ReadHead Deluxe or an Upland Sterling. For only a couple of hundred bucks more (around $900+ list) you get a slightly heavier gun that would likely stand up better for clays and not pound your shoulder as much.
 
CZ makes excellent products. They also have excellent Customer Service, and their pistols are second to none, in my opinion. All CZ shotguns are made by Huglu, a Turkish company. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, they are still covered under warranty, and are well made. There is some good advice, but if you are going to shoot a lot of clays, it would be more beneficial to get a heavier gun, designed for this purpose. The light weight field guns are designed for carrying, while a Sporting shotgun, which is heavier, is designed for repeated usage. The extra weigh helps absorb energy, reducing felt recoil. The absolute best buy in shotguns, again in my humble opinion, is Lanber. I have a 30 inch 2097 Sporting Lux, which is tough to beat. Beautiful gun also. Check out CDNN or Cabelas, they have them also. Hope this helps !

Exactly! How will your shoulder feel after a round of trap (25 shots)? What about 50, or even 100 "pulls"?? 4 rounds is a common outing, on a trap or skeet range. Target loads ARE lighter, but 100 rounds, fired from a light shotgun, will take its toll.
