TRISTAR VIPER G2 12GA. 3″ – 30″VR CT-3 REALTREE MAX-7 SYN

Waterfowl and upland hunters across the Bay Area—from San Mateo to beyond—rely on inertia-driven semi-autos that cycle cleanly through mixed shot loads. The Viper G2 pairs a 30-inch ventilated rib barrel with a synthetic RealtTree Max-7 stock, engineered for extended range and fast target acquisition. Before your first hunt, review California firearm laws to ensure your purchase and transport comply with state regulations.

Choke System and Recoil Management

This shotgun arrives with three interchangeable chokes—Full, Improved Cylinder, and Modified—letting you dial in pattern density for different distances and game. The synthetic stock absorbs recoil while keeping weight manageable during long days afield. A 5+1 capacity handles most hunting situations without requiring constant reloads. When purchasing through TacticCAL, understand that firearm ownership involves both private party transfer process knowledge and compliance obligations specific to your jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions

Does the fiber optic front sight work in low-light hunting conditions?

Yes. Fiber optic sights gather ambient light and glow in dawn and dusk conditions, making target acquisition faster than traditional blade sights. They're fixed, so no adjustment needed between shots.

What's the practical difference between the Improved Cylinder and Modified chokes included?

Improved Cylinder delivers a looser pattern for closer birds—under 30 yards. Modified tightens the pattern for 35-45 yard shots. Full choke is your extended-range option. Swap them based on your hunting scenario.

Can I transfer ammo through an FFL in Sunnyvale?
