The TriStar Viper G3 True Timber Atera Compact 20 gauge is a gas-operated semi-auto shotgun sized for shorter shooters (brand part no. 26137). It wears TrueTimber Atera camouflage on a durable injection-molded stock and forearm, with a 24-inch barrel and a compact 13-inch length of pull. The 3-inch chamber lets it run light target loads and heavier field loads in the same gun. For a young or smaller-framed hunter, it is a camo shotgun that fits without cutting down a full-size stock.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 20, a lighter-recoiling choice that suits younger and smaller shooters.
• The chamber accepts 3-inch shells, so light target loads and heavy field loads both cycle.
• Barrel length is 24 inches, a short, handy length that keeps the compact shotgun balanced.
• The camouflage is TrueTimber Atera, a pattern for hunting in varied cover.
• The length of pull is 13 inches, shorter than the full-size Viper G3 so smaller shooters can mount the gun correctly.
• The stock and forearm are injection-molded and highly durable, a practical build for field use.
• Magazine capacity is a 5-round tubular magazine with a shot plug included and installed.
• The front sight is a fiber optic bead on a vent rib with a matted sight plane, for a quick, bright sight picture.
• The chokes are removable Mobil-thread tubes in a three-tube set, plus a choke box and wrench.
• Average weight is 6.0 pounds, which keeps the shotgun steady without being heavy to carry.
