This week we're taking a closer look at the VR80, from Rock Island Armory Imports. A semi-automatic, gas-operated shotgun with AR-15 ergonomics, the gun comes decked out in Realtree Timber, meaning it can pull double-duty as both a home-defense shotgun, and a springtime turkey slayer. A Picatinny rail atop the receiver eases mounting of a red-dot, to further improve sighting. For more information, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $699; armscor.com.
