Hunting with a Sweet Sixteen Brings a Touch of Nostalgia
The TriStar Viper G2 in 16 gauge is definitely a "Sweet Sixteen!" The Turkish Walnut stock and forearm feature fine checkering and a semi-gloss finish which contrast nicely with the blued barrel and receiver. A vent ribbed 28" chrome lined barrel, and 2-3/4" chrome lined chamber provide excellent protection from hard use or inclement weather conditions. A fiber optic front sight and matte finished vent rib get you on target quickly and enhance accuracy. For ease of unloading, without having to empty the magazine, the Viper G2 has a E-Z Load Magazine Cut-Off. Buy pressing the shell lifter up slightly you can unload the shell from the chamber without having a shell from the magazine tube feed into the chamber. For a touch of nostalgia, and having a great all-around shotgun, there is nothing like a Sweet Sixteen.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
16 gauge has generally fallen out of favor in the USA due to the 20 gauge 3” chamber offering which overlap the 16 gauge performance. However the 16 gauge still has a small loyal following with many fine serviceable guns in circulation. Although guns are no longer commonly manufactured in the US they are still produced by fine makers in Europe and ammunition is still in production world wide. The camber length is 2 ¾” with no known 3” offerings. The most common load is one ounce. Shotgun "gauge" originally meant "number of round balls to the pound, so a round 16-gauge ball weighs once ounce. Fans of the 16-gauge argue that it is thus the most balanced shotgun load with a short shot string. — Craig Boddington
