The TriStar Viper G3 12 gauge walnut shotgun is a gas-operated semi-auto with a 26-inch vent rib barrel and a stock in Turkish walnut (part no. 26101). TriStar Arms tests the Viper G3 to 5,000 rounds for endurance, and its 3-inch chamber lets it run light target loads and heavy waterfowl loads interchangeably. The walnut is cut checkered with a semi-gloss finish, and the gun comes with three Beretta/Benelli Mobil-thread choke tubes, a choke box and a wrench. A magazine cut-off, a fiber optic front sight and a shim kit for adjusting drop and cast round out the features. It is a handsome, dependable field gun for upland birds, ducks and clays.
