The TriStar Viper G2 delivers reliable semi-automatic performance for left-handed shooters seeking versatility in waterfowl hunting and sporting clays. This gas-operated shotgun chambers 3-inch magnum shells while maintaining smooth cycling with standard 2¾-inch loads.
What Makes This Different
Built specifically for left-handed operation, the Viper G2 features reversed controls and ejection port positioning that eliminates the awkward shell ejection issues common with right-handed shotguns. The gas-operated system handles loads from light 2¾-inch target shells up to heavy 3-inch magnums without adjustment. The SoftTouch stock coating provides superior grip in wet conditions while reducing felt recoil by up to 15% compared to standard synthetic stocks.
Key Features

The Viper G2 excels across multiple shooting disciplines, from early-season dove hunting with light loads to late-season waterfowl hunting with heavy steel shot loads. The 28-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for long-range shots while the gas system ensures reliable extraction and ejection in freezing conditions. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent swing characteristics and quick follow-up shot capability.
