The TriStar Viper G2 delivers reliable semi-automatic performance for waterfowl hunters who demand consistent cycling in harsh conditions. This 20-gauge platform combines gas-operated reliability with practical field features that perform when weather turns challenging.
What Makes This Different
The Viper G2 utilizes a proven gas-operated system that cycles 2¾" and 3" shells reliably, unlike basic inertia systems that can struggle with lighter loads. The chrome-lined barrel and receiver provide corrosion resistance beyond standard finishes. Three included MobilChoke tubes offer versatility from cylinder to full choke without additional purchases.
Key Features
- Gas-operated semi-automatic action cycles 2¾" to 3" 20-gauge shells consistently
- 26-inch ventilated rib barrel with chrome lining resists corrosion and fouling
- Realtree Edge camo pattern provides concealment in diverse hunting environments
- SoftTouch stock coating reduces felt recoil and improves grip in wet conditions
- 5+1 capacity with removable magazine plug for waterfowl compliance
- Three MobilChoke tubes included: Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full
- Fiber optic front sight enhances target acquisition in low light
Field testing shows the Viper G2 handles everything from light target loads to heavy waterfowl magnums without adjustment. The gas system self-regulates for different shell pressures, maintaining consistent ejection patterns. Hunters report reliable function in temperatures from freezing to 90°F, with minimal cleaning required between outings.
