TriStar Arms 24118 Viper G2 2.75" 6-Round Walnut Stock Semi-Auto Shotgun

The TriStar 24118 Viper G2 Full Size 28 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun is a versatile, gas-operated platform designed for shooters who demand reliability across diverse ammunition loads—from light target rounds to heavy waterfowl magnum loads. Built for hunters, sport shooters, and training environments, this 26-inch barrel semi-automatic offers the rapid follow-up capability and reduced recoil management that modern shotgunning demands. The Viper G2's two-piston operating system represents a proven approach to handling extreme load variation without the shooter needing to adjust gas ports or change components.

The dual-piston design incorporates a secondary piston stored in the forearm for field accessibility, ensuring smooth cycling from low-recoil target loads up to 2.75-inch magnum waterfowl ammunition without manual adjustment. The vent rib with matted sight plane supports accurate shot placement and reduces glare—critical for sustained accuracy during competitive or hunting scenarios. A manual E-Z load magazine cutoff allows rapid load changes, while the Beretta/Benelli interchangeable choke tube system provides shooters flexibility to optimize patterns for specific applications. The black Cerakote steel receiver resists corrosion and wear, while the fixed walnut stock delivers classic handling characteristics and durability. At 7.2 pounds, the Viper G2 balances recoil management with all-day carry comfort.

Right-hand shooters will find the Viper G2 equally suited to clay sports, upland hunting, waterfowl pursuits, and home defense applications. The 5+1 capacity (five in magazine, one chambered) meets most hunting regulations while maintaining rapid deployment. Compatibility with standard Beretta/Benelli choke tubes—a widely available aftermarket ecosystem—means custom tube selection for turkey, buckshot, or steel shot loads expands the platform's utility. Law enforcement and civilian defensive applications benefit from the semi-automatic's controllability and the ability to quickly transition between specialized loads. The walnut furniture provides the classic aesthetic preferred by traditional shooters while maintaining full tactical functionality.
