Unlock Unrivaled Performance: The TriStar Viper G2 PRO Semi-Automatic Shotgun

Are you searching for a versatile and utterly dependable shotgun that can transition seamlessly from the duck blind to the trap range? Do you need a firearm capable of handling a broad spectrum of ammunition, from the lightest target loads to the heaviest waterfowl loads, without a hitch? Look no further than the TriStar Viper G2 PRO Semi-Automatic Gas Operated Shotgun, a masterful blend of traditional aesthetics and cutting-edge engineering designed to meet the demands of serious shooters and hunters alike.

This exquisite wood and bronze model of the Viper G2 PRO is engineered for ultimate reliability and functional excellence. Its sophisticated gas-operated semi-automatic system is the cornerstone of its remarkable versatility, allowing operators to shoot a wide array of 3-inch shells interchangeably. Whether you're a seasoned waterfowler needing consistent power, a clay target enthusiast seeking minimal recoil for high-volume shooting, or an upland hunter requiring quick follow-up shots, the Viper G2 PRO is built to deliver.

Designed for Diverse Demands: The Gas-Operated Advantage

What makes a gas-operated shotgun like the TriStar Viper G2 PRO so highly sought after? The answer lies in its ability to cycle shells efficiently and reliably across varying power levels, while also significantly reducing felt recoil. This system harnesses a portion of the expanding gases from a fired shell to cycle the action, ejecting the spent casing and chambering a new round. This self-regulating mechanism ensures smooth operation whether you are firing light 2 ¾-inch target loads or powerful 3-inch magnum loads, offering an unparalleled shooting experience marked by consistency and comfort.

For hunters, this means not having to worry about your shotgun short-stroking on a light upland load or battering your shoulder with a heavy goose load. For sport shooters, it translates to faster follow-up shots and less fatigue over long sessions at the range. The TriStar Viper G2 PRO’s design ensures the bolt remains open after the last round is fired, providing a clear indication of an empty magazine and facilitating quick reloading. This feature is crucial for maintaining situational awareness in the field or on the firing line.

Aesthetics Meet Endurance: High-Grade Materials and Finish

The TriStar Viper G2 PRO stands out not only for its performance but also for its striking appearance and robust construction. The heart of its appeal lies in the combination of a bronze Cerakote receiver and high-grade Turkish walnut furniture. Cerakote is a state-of-the-art ceramic-based finish renowned for its exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. The bronze hue of the receiver offers a distinctive, classic look that beautifully complements the rich, warm tones of the walnut stock and forend.

The Turkish walnut, meticulously crafted with cut checkering, provides a secure and comfortable grip, even in adverse conditions. The semi-gloss finish on the wood highlights its natural grain patterns, elevating the shotgun from a mere tool to a piece of functional artistry. This combination of materials ensures that the Viper G2 PRO is not only a pleasure to behold but also capable of withstanding the rigors of frequent use in challenging environments, resisting scratches, impacts, and the corrosive effects of moisture and sweat. It’s a firearm built to last and to be admired for generations.

Enhanced Shooting Comfort and Precision

Every element of the TriStar Viper G2 PRO is designed to optimize the shooter’s experience. A high-quality rubber recoil pad is standard, significantly absorbing felt recoil and contributing to longer, more comfortable shooting sessions. This is particularly beneficial when shooting heavier loads or during high-volume shooting activities like sporting clays, where comfort directly impacts performance and endurance.

For precise targeting, the shotgun features a vent rib with a matted sight plane, designed to reduce glare and provide a clear, unobstructed sight picture. Complementing this is a highly visible fiber optic front sight, which ensures rapid target acquisition in varying light conditions. Whether you are tracking a fast-moving bird against a cloudy sky or aiming at a clay target under bright sun, this sight system helps you get on target quickly and accurately. Furthermore, the inclusion of shim kits as a standard feature allows shooters to custom-fit the stock to their individual body dimensions and shooting style. This personalized fit enhances natural point of aim, reduces strain, and improves overall accuracy, making the Viper G2 PRO an exceptionally adaptable firearm.

Mastering Versatility with the Choke System

Understanding shotgun chokes is fundamental to maximizing performance for different shooting scenarios, and the TriStar Viper G2 PRO makes this easy with its versatile choke system. This shotgun uses the widely available and highly popular Beretta®/Benelli® Mobil Threads. This compatibility is a significant advantage, as it means a vast array of aftermarket choke tubes are available, allowing shooters to fine-tune their pattern density for any application. The Viper G2 PRO comes standard with three essential choke tubes: Improved Cylinder (IC), Modified (M), and Full (F), along with a choke box and wrench for convenient changing and storage.

What are these chokes for?

• Improved Cylinder (IC): Provides a wider shot pattern, ideal for close-range targets like flushing upland birds, skeet shooting, or defense scenarios where a broader spread is beneficial.
• Modified (M): Offers a medium spread, making it a versatile choice for a variety of hunting situations, including pheasant or dove, and excellent for sporting clays or trap shooting where targets are at moderate distances.
• Full (F): Delivers the tightest pattern, perfect for long-range engagements such as turkey hunting, pass shooting ducks and geese, or the second shot in trap where maximum pellet density at a distance is required.

This comprehensive set ensures that from day one, you have the flexibility to adapt your shotgun to virtually any shooting challenge.

Capacity, Loading, and Essential Safety

The TriStar Viper G2 PRO is equipped with a 5+1 round capacity (5 in the tubular magazine, 1 in the chamber), providing ample firepower for hunting expeditions or competitive shooting. A shot plug is included and comes pre-installed, easily removable by simply unscrewing the magazine cap, pulling the plug out, and replacing the cap. This allows users to comply with various hunting regulations that limit magazine capacity.

A key operational feature is the Manuel E-Z Load Magazine Cut-off. This ingenious mechanism allows the operator to interrupt the flow of shells from the magazine into the chamber. If the magazine and chamber are both loaded, opening the action will typically eject the shell from the chamber and cycle a new shell from the magazine. However, if the operator wishes to unload the chamber only, a slight push up on the lifter while opening the action will cut off the magazine from cycling a new shell, allowing only the chambered shell to be removed. This is incredibly useful for quickly changing ammunition types without unloading the entire magazine, or for safely clearing the chamber while leaving the magazine full. The chamber will remain closed if shells still remain in the magazine, ensuring security.

Safety is paramount with any firearm, and the TriStar Viper G2 PRO incorporates a robust primary safety mechanism located conveniently on the backside of the trigger guard. When engaged, this safety is designed to mechanically block the trigger, hammer lever, and the hammer itself, rendering the firing mechanism immobile. This positive safety engagement provides peace of mind, ensuring the firearm will not discharge inadvertently when properly engaged.

Durability and Maintenance for Longevity

For enduring performance and ease of cleaning, the TriStar Viper G2 PRO features a chrome-lined chamber and barrel. Chrome lining offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear, significantly extending the lifespan of the firearm, especially when shooting corrosive ammunition or in damp environments. This hard, smooth surface also makes cleaning much easier, as powder residue and fouling have less tendency to stick, ensuring your shotgun performs optimally shot after shot, season after season. This thoughtful design detail underscores TriStar's commitment to building firearms that are not just reliable today, but for many years to come.

This shotgun is an ideal choice for a wide spectrum of users seeking a high-performance, aesthetically pleasing, and reliable semi-automatic shotgun:

• Avid Hunters: Particularly effective for waterfowl, upland birds (pheasant, grouse, quail), and even turkey. Its versatility in handling different loads and choke options makes it adaptable to various game and hunting conditions.
