The TriStar Cypher 33168 delivers exceptional versatility in a compact over/under platform, combining precision engineering with practical field performance. This 410 gauge shotgun features chrome-lined barrels and a stainless steel receiver that resists corrosion while maintaining consistent accuracy across varied shooting conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Cypher's dual-barrel configuration provides instant choke selection without reloading, allowing shooters to adapt to changing targets mid-hunt. Chrome-lined 28-inch barrels reduce fouling buildup and extend barrel life compared to standard steel alternatives. The stainless steel receiver eliminates rust concerns while the fiber optic front sight ensures rapid target acquisition in low-light conditions.
Key Features
- Chrome-lined 28-inch barrels resist corrosion and reduce cleaning time
- Stainless steel receiver construction for weather resistance
- Five interchangeable extended choke tubes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder, Cylinder, Skeet)
- Deluxe walnut stock and forend with hand-checkered grip surfaces

Field testing demonstrates consistent patterns at extended ranges, making this shotgun effective for upland birds, small game, and sporting clays. The 410 gauge produces manageable recoil while maintaining sufficient power for ethical harvests at appropriate distances. Extended choke tubes optimize pattern density for specific applications, from tight Full chokes for distant shots to open Cylinder chokes for close cover work.
