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.
Associate Editor Jon Draper and Digital Managing Editor Shawn Skipper recently returned from a spring snow goose hunt in South Dakota. Get an inside look at their hunt with this gallery.
