The TriStar Cypher SP is a 12-gauge over-and-under shotgun built for clay target sports. With a 30-inch barrel, 3-inch chamber, and selective ejectors, this sporting clays gun puts accurate shot placement within reach without the price tag of premium European competition guns. The Cypher SP combines functional reliability with practical refinements: a vented 10mm top rib for sight picture consistency, red fiber-optic sights for quick target acquisition, and a deluxe walnut stock with adjustable comb so you can dial in your natural point of aim.
Whether you're stepping into clay shooting or adding a versatile 12-gauge to your battery, the Cypher SP delivers honest value. The walnut furniture—both stock and forearm—is checkered and finished in satin, giving it a trim, professional look on the range. Recoil management comes from a black rubber micro pad, and the extended Beretta-style chokes let you match your shot pattern to target distance and condition. The included choke wrench makes swaps quick between events or practice sessions.
TriStar manufactures the Cypher SP to solid specs without unnecessary frills. The black receiver wears clear markings, the gold-plated trigger breaks clean, and the selective ejector system reliably ejects empties while leaving unfired rounds in place. It's a no-nonsense competition tool for shooters who want to focus on their form, not fuss with their gun.
