The TriStar Viper G2 Youth delivers full-size performance in a properly proportioned platform for smaller-statured shooters. This 20-gauge semi-automatic shotgun features a reduced length of pull and lighter overall weight while maintaining the reliability and versatility that makes the Viper G2 series a standout choice for hunting and sporting applications.
What Makes This Different
The Viper G2 Youth incorporates a gas-operated system that cycles 2¾" and 3" shells reliably without adjustment. The SoftTouch stock coating provides superior grip in wet conditions while reducing felt recoil significantly compared to traditional hard stocks. The 24" barrel length optimizes velocity for 20-gauge loads while keeping the overall length manageable for youth shooters.
