TriStar Viper G2 12 Gauge 26" Camo Synthetic Shotgun - Model 24139

The TriStar Viper G2 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun is a reliable, affordable workhorse built for hunters and sport shooters who need versatility without the premium price tag. The 26-inch barrel and 3-inch chamber handle most hunting scenarios, while the synthetic stock and foregrip in RealTree Advantage Timber camo blend into woods and field settings. This is a gun that shows up, cycles reliably, and gets the job done—whether you're hunting waterfowl, upland game, or running clays at the range.

What sets the Viper G2 apart in its class is practical engineering. The chrome-lined chamber and barrel resist corrosion from the elements and frequent shooting, extending the gun's lifespan. A fiber optic front sight gives you a quick, visible aiming point in low light—no squinting required. The 5-round magazine comes with a shot plug for compliance with waterfowl regulations; simply remove it if you need the full capacity for other applications. The manual E-Z load magazine cut-off makes unloading straightforward, an underrated feature that matters when you're changing loads or clearing a chamber in the field.

TriStar includes three Beretta-style interchangeable chokes (IC, M, F), so you can tailor your shot pattern to different distances and game. Switching between them takes seconds and opens up your hunting options without buying a second gun. The synthetic furniture is durable, low-maintenance, and won't swell or warp like wood—ideal if you're hunting wet conditions or storing the gun in a truck.

Frequently Asked Questions

What chokes come with the Viper G2, and can I use other brands?

The shotgun includes three Beretta-style chokes: Improved Cylinder (IC), Modified (M), and Full (F). Since it accepts Beretta-style chokes, you can swap in aftermarket tubes from any manufacturer that makes compatible chokes.

Is this shotgun good for waterfowl hunting?

Yes. The 3-inch chamber, 5-round magazine, and included shot plug make it waterfowl-ready right out of the box. Remove the plug if you want full capacity for other applications.

What does the fiber optic front sight do?

The fiber optic front sight uses ambient light to create a bright, visible aiming point, making it easier to acquire your target quickly in overcast conditions or during dawn and dusk hunting.

Does the synthetic stock affect recoil or handling?

Synthetic stocks are durable and low-maintenance, resisting weather and moisture better than wood. They won't swell or warp in wet conditions. Recoil feel is primarily determined by the gun's weight and action design, not the stock material.
