The TriStar Cypher X is a 16 gauge over/under shotgun (TriStar part no. 33172) that pairs a lightweight aluminum receiver with a deluxe walnut stock and forearm for a gun that carries easy through a long upland day. Its 28-inch barrel and five extended, color-coded chokes give it the versatility to cover close-flushing quail and longer crossing dove alike, and the fiber optic front sight helps you find the bird fast in cover. TriStar backs the Cypher X with a five-year mechanical warranty.
