The TriStar Viper G2 delivers reliable semi-automatic performance for waterfowl hunters and clay shooters who demand consistent cycling with both light and heavy loads. This 20-gauge platform combines Turkish craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to create a shotgun that handles everything from 2¾" target loads to 3" magnum shells without missing a beat.
What Makes This Different
The Viper G2 features an inertia-driven operating system that requires no gas ports or pistons to maintain, reducing fouling and increasing reliability in adverse conditions. The black Cerakote finish on both barrel and receiver provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, while the semi-gloss Turkish walnut stock offers better grip in wet conditions than high-gloss alternatives. The 28" barrel length optimizes velocity for longer shots while maintaining manageable swing characteristics.
Key Features
- Inertia-driven semi-automatic action cycles 2¾" and 3" shells reliably
- Black Cerakote barrel and receiver finish resists corrosion and wear
- 28" barrel with 3" chamber handles magnum waterfowl loads
- Semi-gloss Turkish walnut stock provides secure grip in all weather
- 5+1 capacity with removable magazine plug for hunting compliance
- Three MobilChoke tubes included (typically IC, M, F)
- Chrome-lined barrel extends service life with steel shot
Field performance remains consistent across temperature ranges thanks to the inertia system's mechanical simplicity. The 20-gauge platform generates sufficient energy to cycle reliably while producing less felt recoil than 12-gauge alternatives, making it suitable for extended shooting sessions. The MobilChoke system accepts standard Invector-style tubes, providing flexibility for everything from close-cover upland birds to long-range waterfowl.
