“viper”

From upland game to big game, these guns represent real value for shooters.

Flawless guns and a ton of birds that have seemingly never seen a decoy in their lives: What more can a waterfowl hunter ask for? How about a group of friends that know how to pile on the laughs—and insults—to make it a truly memorable experience. That’s Canada. And if you’ve never experienced it, well, you’ve got some planning to do.

TriStar has announced its first 3½-inch autoloader in the form of the Viper Max. Here are five things you need to know.

Self-branded as "The Value Experts," TriStar is home to an array of respectable shotguns and handguns, which are often available at a budget-conscious price point. The company has, for years, rolled out a variety of fine-shooting scatterguns. One thing that's long eluded it, however, is a 3½-inch autoloader for the more dedicated waterfowl hunters among us. That changed at SHOT Show 2017, however, when TriStar announced its new Viper Max.

In no particular order, here are our picks for the best new shotguns of 2017.
