The TriStar Viper G3 Compact Sporting 20 gauge is a gas-operated semi-auto sized for smaller shooters, with a 13-inch length of pull and a 26-inch barrel (part no. 26161). TriStar Arms lists it in the Synthetic/Blue configuration of its Compact Sporting line, with a durable injection-molded stock and forearm. Four extended choke tubes, Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Modified and Full, make it ready for the clays course as well as the field. The 3-inch chamber handles light target loads and heavier hunting loads, and a magazine cut-off and fiber optic sight come standard. It is a strong choice for a young or smaller-statured shooter starting on clays or birds.
