The TriStar Viper G2 Compact is a 12 gauge, semi-automatic field shotgun sized for youth and compact handling. It is intended for range use, training, and field work where a lighter, shorter platform is preferred. The design emphasizes straightforward operation, an included choke set, and a fixed synthetic stock with recoil pad for predictable handling.
