There is a reason the Viper G2 keeps showing up in duck blinds and dove fields year after year. TriStar built this 12 gauge around a gas-operated action that soaks up recoil and cycles a wide spread of loads, from light 2 3/4" target shells up to stout 3" magnums, without asking you to fiddle with anything. At around 6.8 pounds with a 26" barrel, it swings quick on crossing birds but still has enough weight out front to keep your follow-through smooth on the clays course.
The semi-gloss Turkish walnut stock and forend feature cut checkering that gives you real grip when your hands are cold or wet, and the wood itself looks like it belongs on a gun costing quite a bit more. Underneath the good looks, the chamber and barrel are chrome lined, which means easier cleanup after a muddy weekend and better long-term durability. A rubber recoil pad takes the edge off heavier loads, and the vent rib with matted sight plane and red fiber optic front sight gets your eye on target fast in low morning light.
TriStar includes three choke tubes, Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full, threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern. That is a big deal in practice, because aftermarket choke options in that thread are everywhere, so you can add a turkey or waterfowl tube down the road without hunting for oddball parts. The manual E-Z Load magazine cut-off lets you swap the shell in the chamber without cycling the whole tube, handy when a bigger bird shows up and you want to switch loads on the spot. A removable shot plug is included for migratory bird seasons.
TriStar tests the Viper G2 platform to 5,000 rounds for endurance and backs it with a five-year warranty. For a do-it-all field gun that handles ducks, doves, pheasants, and weekend clays with equal ease, this walnut-stocked 12 gauge is tough to beat.
Yes, that is one of the strong suits of the gas system in the Viper G2. It is designed to run everything from light 2 3/4" target loads up to heavy 3" waterfowl shells interchangeably. Like most gas guns, give it a proper cleaning and a couple boxes of shells to break in, and it settles into a very dependable rhythm.
The Viper G2 uses the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke thread pattern, and it ships with Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full tubes plus a wrench and choke box. Since Mobil is one of the most common thread patterns out there, aftermarket options like extended turkey and waterfowl chokes are easy to find.
This 26" walnut model comes in around 6.8 pounds with a 46.5" overall length. That puts it in a sweet spot for a field gun, light enough to carry all day but with enough heft up front for a smooth swing. The gas action also does a nice job softening felt recoil compared to inertia guns of similar weight.
The manual E-Z Load magazine cut-off lets you unload or swap the shell in the chamber without feeding a new round from the magazine tube. It is a handy feature for hunters who want to change loads quickly, say switching to a heavier shell when geese come in over the decoys, without emptying the whole gun.
