TriStar Arms 24261 Viper G2 20 Gauge 3" 6-Round Semi-Auto Shotgun

The TriStar Arms 24261 Viper G2 20 Gauge 3" Semi-Auto Shotgun delivers reliable, fast-cycling firepower for hunters, sport shooters, and tactical users who demand dependable performance in the field. Built on an inertia-driven operating system, this 20-gauge platform cycles both target and hunting loads with minimal recoil, making it accessible to shooters of varying experience levels while maintaining the stopping power needed for medium-game hunting and defensive applications. The 6-round capacity and 3" chamber compatibility provide flexibility across standard and magnum ammunition options.

Engineered around a proven inertia-driven design, the Viper G2 uses the energy from each fired round to cycle the bolt and chamber the next cartridge, eliminating complex gas systems and reducing maintenance requirements in the field. The shotgun's 37.5-inch overall length and 8-pound weight strike an effective balance between handling agility and stability, particularly valuable when navigating brush or executing rapid follow-up shots. The semi-automatic action cycles reliably across velocity ranges, from light target loads to full-powered 3-inch magnum rounds, ensuring consistent function without manual operation between shots.

This shotgun suits hunters pursuing upland game, waterfowl, and predator control, as well as tactical shooters and sport competitors who benefit from the fast handling characteristics and consistent trigger reset inherent to semi-automatic operation. Law enforcement and civilian defensive users appreciate the rapid shot capacity and reduced recoil impulse, which translates to faster target reacquisition under stress. The 20-gauge platform makes extended shooting sessions more manageable while delivering sufficient terminal performance for most applications—a practical choice when duty or recreational cycles demand high round counts without fatigue compromise.
