Description
There's something about a silver receiver against genuine Turkish walnut that never goes out of style, and the Viper G2 Pro Silver wears the look well. Underneath the good looks is TriStar's proven gas-operated action, a system that soaks up recoil and reliably cycles everything from light 2-3/4" target loads up to heavy 3" waterfowl and turkey loads. In a 20 gauge that already starts out soft-shooting, the result is a gun you can run through a full day of doves or a long clays session without feeling beat up.
What the Pro Upgrades Bring to the Viper G2
The Pro version of the Viper G2 adds the touches upland hunters and clay shooters ask for. You get an enlarged triangular safety that's easy to find with gloves on, oversized operating hardware, and a widened loading port that makes topping off the magazine faster and easier on your thumb. The 26" vent rib barrel carries a fiber optic front sight over a matted sight plane, and both the bore and 3" chamber are chrome lined for easier cleanup and long-term durability. Chokes thread in on the common Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern, so aftermarket options are everywhere, and TriStar includes improved cylinder, modified, and full tubes with a wrench and box to get you started.
A 20 Gauge Built to Carry
At right around 6.8 pounds, this is a shotgun that carries comfortably through a long walk behind a bird dog. The high-grade walnut stock and forend feature cut checkering with a semi-gloss finish, a rubber recoil pad takes the edge off heavier loads, and an included shim kit lets you adjust fit so the gun points where you look. Capacity is 5+1, with a removable shot plug included for migratory bird work.
Why the Viper G2 Pro Silver Earns Its Spot
TriStar backs this one with a five-year warranty, and the Viper line has built a solid reputation as a workhorse gas gun that punches above its weight. If you want classic wood-and-silver styling on a shotgun you won't be afraid to hunt hard, this 20 gauge delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What loads will the Viper G2 Pro Silver cycle reliably?
The gas system is designed to run everything from light 2-3/4" target loads up to heavy 3" hunting loads interchangeably. Like most gas guns, it may want a short break-in period with a couple boxes of shells before it fully smooths out. Once broken in, it handles a wide range of loads without adjustment.
What choke tubes fit the TriStar Viper G2 Pro?
It uses the Beretta/Benelli Mobil thread pattern, one of the most common choke systems out there. Improved cylinder, modified, and full tubes come in the box along with a wrench and storage case. Aftermarket extended and specialty chokes in the Mobil pattern are widely available if you want to expand your setup.
Is this 20 gauge a good fit for smaller-framed or newer wingshooters?
It's a strong choice. The gas action noticeably softens recoil compared to inertia guns and pumps, and 20 gauge loads are already gentle to begin with. At about 6.8 pounds with a rubber recoil pad and an included shim kit to adjust fit, it works well for a wide range of body types and experience levels.
Does the Viper G2 Pro come with a warranty?
Yes, TriStar backs the Viper G2 Pro series with a five-year warranty. That's solid coverage for a working field gun, and TriStar has a good reputation for standing behind their shotguns.
