The TriStar Viper G2 delivers reliable semi-automatic performance for sporting clays, waterfowl hunting, and upland game pursuits. This Turkish-manufactured shotgun combines proven gas-operated cycling with premium materials at a competitive price point.
What Makes This Different
The Viper G2 features a chrome-lined barrel and chamber that resists corrosion while maintaining consistent patterns shot after shot. Unlike basic semi-autos that struggle with light loads, this gas system cycles everything from 2¾" target loads to heavy 3" magnums reliably. The black Cerakote finish on the receiver provides superior protection against moisture and wear compared to standard bluing.
Key Features
- Gas-operated semi-automatic action cycles 2¾" and 3" shells reliably
- 28" ventilated rib barrel with chrome lining for corrosion resistance
- Turkish walnut stock with hand-checkered grip areas for secure handling
- Black Cerakote receiver finish resists scratches and environmental damage
- Three MobilChoke tubes included (IC, M, F) for versatility
- 5+1 capacity provides ample firepower for field conditions
- Fiber optic front sight enhances target acquisition in varying light
Field performance centers on the proven gas system that handles everything from light 1-ounce loads to heavy waterfowl magnums without adjustment. The 28" barrel length provides optimal velocity for long-range shots while maintaining swing characteristics suitable for crossing targets. Weather resistance comes from the chrome-lined bore and Cerakote finish that withstand marsh conditions and temperature extremes.
