TriStar Viper G2 16 gauge

Күн бұрынOverall a very good shotgun for the money. Just a little finicky on ammo. Hopefully it just needs a very good break in. I wanted to add that Winchester super X #8 and Remington express #6 in 16ga was 100% reliable. Federal game loads #6 made this shotgun basically a single shot. The shotgun was disassembled, cleaned & lubricated before using for the first time and after each time at the range.

I know I'm late to the party but you should have run a box of heavy loads threw it before shooting any light loads. I have the Viper g2 20ga. I shot 5 slugs and 5 3" #5 turkey loads and 20 #5 heavy loads when I got mine. Prolly put 3500rnds through it and it had never hiccuped!

The gun ran flawlessly with Remington 1-1/8 oz loads and Winchester 1-1/8oz #8. It just wouldn’t cycle with federal game load 1oz #6. Thanks for the info! I’ve been eyeballing the Viper in 20ga recently 😉

UPDATE: I polished out the machine turn marks on the magazine tube using cut strips of 800grit. I seen a lot of KZfaq videos stretch the recoil spring by counter twisting it & I don’t suggest doing that. Polishing out those turn marks on the magazine tube made the action soooo much smoother. But on two different days I hit my limit on dove. I can’t miss with this gun and using loads that it likes, it gets two thumbs up 👍🏻

Nice video. I'm from the RGV also. I have never hunted in my life up until this past late dove season from December 17th through January 22nd. My family and friends never hunted so I had no one to teach me. But I ended up getting my hunting license this year and also completed my hunters education course. I learned all I could from watching KZfaq videos and all the basics like field dressing dove. I'm looking forward to next season again. I absolutely fell in love with dove hunting. I don't really know of any places for hunting here in the valley. I would appreciate some recommendations if you got any. I'm eager to learn. Thanks. I liked and subscribed.

During the summer I’ll go over to Massey’s shooting range & shoot clays just to stay “in shape”. Dove season starts again September 1st of this year and just like previous years I’ll be at resaca de la Palma state park. I recommend that for next seasons hunting license that you download the “my Texas hunt harvest” app on your phone and when you renew your license also get the annual public hunting permit. That way you can have access to the wildlife management areas that we have in the valley. The wma’s offer public hunting opportunities until the end of February for rabbit, quail, chachalaca and dove. When you get the annual public hunting permit they’ll mail you a book that shows all the wma’s in the state along with the rules and regulations. Give me a shoutout as we get close to September, you can tag along with me if you want.

@@CaptainRon956 Awesome! Yes..thanks for the invite and all the info. I will definitely tag along. I appreciate it. I will get my annual public hunting permit for the next season and will send you a message as we get closer to next season. We can exchange info any way you think might be best. I'm from McAllen so we can work something out as the season gets closer. I already downloaded the app and will have it ready. Thanks again buddy.

I absolutely slaughtered the dove that day using a combo of my 1-1/8oz reloads and Hertzers 1-1/8oz #6. Limited out in two hours.

I have the 20 ga version, which weighs 6lbs 3oz. I really like it and am thinking about picking up the 16 if it weighs less than my SA-08. What does yours weigh?
@CaptainRon956 8 ай бұрын
It weighs around 5.5-6lbs. I really like it and been using it more & more for hunting. I think 16 is the way to go for bird hunting

How does it handle steel
@CaptainRon956 Жыл бұрын
Never tried steel shot however the instructions say to “never shoot steel shot thru a full choke, only used modified or improved cylinder or skeet chokes”
