IS THIS THE ULTIMATE .410 TURKEY GUN?

- TriStar released the new Viper G2 .410 bore turkey shotgun for 2020 and I have one on loan at the Buffalo Range. This shotgun has all the features that make a good turkey shotgun and with the new TSS loads from Federal and others the .410 can get the job done out to 40 yards.

Mine is a G2 synthetic , 4 turkeys in 2 states last year while the pistol grips were limited production .4 of us are Running a Jebs Choke tube XFULL with Apex TSS # 9.5's and TSS #9's also some handload #9's they amounted for several kills last year . Just shot another camo tristar today and had some impressive numbers out of some DUPLEX TSS handload #10 x #9.5. ( 180+ pellets in 10 " circle ). Our season opens in 5 days and I will be toting it in 2 states this year also .
Last 3 yrs Tristar has had a booth next to us at NWTF Convention in Nashville . Garret ans his Dad listen to their customers , great people to deal with we really appreciate them !
I work with a fellow named Jesse Martin who has won many turkey calling championships. He didn't win this year in Nashville but he competed and had won several years in a row until this year. I didn't make it down there but I'd love to meet some of the guys that do this stuff full time behind the scenes. I appreciate the comment.
Mine too absolutely love it also shooting the jebs headhunter. Will definitely be ordering some 9&10 tss from ballistic products and chess items shells can’t wait to try some reloads. If you don’t mind would you share your mixed reload data with me
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Bowen Alfonso Instablaster =)
@Santiago Colt Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I had the best laugh when that Turkey target came running at me! I've seen that zoom in your other videos, just got caught off guard today!
HAHAHA! Glad it got you a laugh! That's important in this short existence!
Pretty slick. I am a fan of the TriStars
Thanks buddy. I own several now and haven't had any major issues.
WTW....Your just like me....We love *ALL - GUNS !!!*
👍🏼😉👍🏼
Are they gas operated?
Man the quality of your Audio and video is superb, not to mention your format. Don’t change a thing
I really enjoyed your video on the .410 TriStar Turkey shotgun. It was a very informative video. Also I am hearing a lot of good things about the Federal TSS Turkey loads. Keep the good work on your informative videos!!!
Buffalo- I have followed your 410 videos since waaaaaay back when you did some 410 slug videos with a Mossberg 500. Growing up in upstate NY, my teen years were spent with a beagle and a 410 in pursuit of rabbits. At the age of 16, I drooled over the Remington catalog dreaming of an 1100 semi. The 410 has always been very near and dear to my heart so when I saw your first review of this auto loader you had my attention. When you showed it’s slug shooting ability, you had me shopping! Seeing this with the pistol grip and Turkey choke, I’m SOLD!!!
Thank you for another amazing video!!
I'm a 14 yr old growing up in NY, 410 is absolutely close to me. I've got 12 gauges but there's just nothing like my mossberg .410
Thank you for explaining the grip function. This TriStar shotguns are a great value, have a 28 gauge. Love it
Your video skills always amaze me. You have a real "feel" for the camera. Great video once again.
Thank yee!
Just picked up the Tristar Viper G2 Turkey 410 after watching the video. Impressed with the quality and action. Can’t wait to get this gun in the field! Great fit and finish!
Wish I could find one.
I enjoyed that a lot and more important my three month old granddaughter enjoyed it with me. Your camera work and production quality is on the professional level.
Wow, thank you my friend. I really appreciate you saying that. I have been trying to put more focus on learning how to get the most out of these cameras. It's really hard for me to learn what all the setting do and what they even mean but I am getting better, thanks for noticing!
Always enjoy your videos! Wonderful editing. Great shooting with a new gun.
Thank you!
Love your reviews. Keep em coming!
I'm not a hunter, but you put Tristar on the map for me. Over the last couple of years I have bought 3 Tristar trap and sporting over/unders and trap models (the TT-15 series). They are remarkable guns for clay shooting and they all retailed for less than a thousand ($). Great wood and I have shoot thousands of rounds through each. Great guns. They match up well with my Browning Cynergy CX (and they're not so "partsy"). Tristar does great work and keeps the prices competitive.
I've never owned a .410 shotgun but have always wanted one. With the price of ammo for the .410 ia now why I haven't bought one but after watching your videos I might have to break down and get me one. Thank's Buffalo, Great videos ! I've been a subscriber for several years now and I haven'y seen a bad video yet !!!
Man I really appreciate you saying that. It means a lot. Thank you.
As usual I'm entertained and impressed with your shooting. Looks like a sweet tool.
Thx a lot
Thank you! I always appreciate you man!
That will be a sweet addition to the collection of goodness.....Good stuff....
Thanks Scott!
I want one.. What a nice gun. They did a great job making this gun.
Great video Buffalo !!!
That music is amazing!!!
🦃🎸🦃🎸🦃🎸🦃🎸🦃
👍🏼😉👍🏼
That little shotgun is a sweeeeeet gun! I'm gonna have to get me one of those. Soon as this Quarantine stuff is over
I have the exact same gun but full camo dip with carlson tube and Sig romeo 5 red dot. Absolutely love that gun.
Now that's a great set up with that Sig red dot! I might do the same with this one!
I have the 20 gauge model with a red dot and i love it for a slug gun and for turkeys
We have Brownings, Berettas, Remingtons, LC Smiths, a Gamba, an Ithaca, Benellis, H&Rs, etc. and now...probably because of you my friend...I have 2 TriStar Raptors (20 guage in beautiful wood and 20 youth model) and 2 Vipers (28 guage and .410). Gotta say, I have really enjoyed shooting them and my girls do too...as much as any of the others. Reliable and right-size for the guage. No regrets. Good reviews.
Thank you for this comment. A lot of times I only hear from the folks who have had problems and I can tell they kinda blame me for it. I can only report on my experiences with the samples that I have and they've been real good shotguns. It was very nice of you to leave this comment.
the opening music was excellent... realy added value to the video....
Thank you! I appreciate this sort of feedback!
That's some fancy shootin on those clay birds Buffalo. That is one nice gun, Thanks to the folks at Tru Star for letting you test it.
Awesome! Hopefully they'll give you a big discount because of the blems!
Maybe! LOL.... They weren't that bad but anytime someone buys a gun that I show on a video and it's not absolutely perfect I get to hear about it! I get a lot of hate mail. So I thought I'd send a reminder that mine are never perfect either.
@@buffalosoutdoors Dude you got a comment from the legendary @Taofledermaus!
Awesome video Buffalo. I think i need that gun too!!!!
I got 2 tristar black synthetic 28" one is dressed with a burris FF2 4moa dot and Indian Creek shooting Apex Ninjas. The other one has a Vortex scope with Jebs choke. It likes Nitro Co.#9s and Apex Ninjas. Both is a pleasure to pack and has shown to be very deadly. There has been some cycling issues but after a good cleaning and filing of sharp edges and graphite they operate smoothly.
A pistol grip on a turkey shotgun is the deal. I was skeptical but I really enjoy it. Just like you said you can be a lot more still with it. Good video as always.
A very nice little gun. GREAT VIDEO buffalo.
Thank you!
Nice! Cool to see what TSS has made possible. With that said, I'm going to go buy my first ten gauge tomorrow lol.
Pray you will be safe and thanks for sharing
Prayers are always welcome. Thanks.
"A head like a 5 gallon bucket..." Me too, Brother, meeeee tooo.... 😔 🤣
I have the standard viper 410 (wood/blued). The gun runs and feeds 100% as long as it’s clean. It gets dirty really fast. With 100 tp 150 rounds it needs to be cleaned. I even run buggered up crimps from reloads with success.
Great to hear! I have heard from some folks who have had lots of problems. I only have a sample of 1 (well 2 now) and haven't had any real problems to report. I did have trouble with the remington slugs, forgot about that but everything else it's ran great.
Wonderful shooting Buffalo, fantastic video, your presentation is excellent.
Thanks so much for the comment!
A Turkey turkey gun 😂😂😂. Buffalo didnt know he was being funny😂😂😂....
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Thanks for dropping by my friend!
A nice piece
The 28 gauge needs to make a comeback and this looks like the way to go.28 ga TSS for turkey would get the job done without any worry if it's powerful enough.I'm sure that .410 will work but it just seems borderline adequate.
I noticed that Apex Ammunition loads a TSS 28 gauge load. They are showing out of stock right now. When they get some back in I will try to order a box for the channel and see how they pattern. Thanks for the idea.
I’ve owned two Benelli shotguns with the Steadygrip stock and a Stoeger with the SteadyGrip stock for turkey hunting. The Stoeger was not a very good shotgun when I owned it, but the latest ones seem to be really good. My son bought the Stoeger 20 gauge last year and he loves it.
I love the SteadyGrip stock for turkey hunting and I’m loving the looks and your review of this little TriStar Viper G2 Turkey in .410. I’ve got to get me one, if they ever are in stock.
Thanks for your video.... great job!
Thanks for the great comment. I appreciate you taking the time to leave it. The Stoegers have really improved over the last decade from what I understand.
I wouldn't have ever considered a .410 for anything, being the most expensive shotgun to shoot for what I saw as a low yield shot really killed it for me. I once got a sweet trade on a beautiful Mossberg 500 .410 and it lasted about a week in the cabinet before it was traded off for something I wanted way more.
Thankyou for showing that this small shotgun actually does have potential.
I would love one
Looks like a great amazing turkey gun from Turkish Country.
Thanks!
Hey Buffalo I’m a huge fan watching your videos.. Keep up good work man...I got me other day a New Steven 301 410 with red dot.. can’t wait to use it in turkey season this spring in Ky
Very nice shotgun.
Nice review 👍👍
I love my tristar raptor!! Awesome shotty!!
Awesome! Glad to hear that!
Great video
Great vid
New subscriber here. I am very much enjoying your videos. Thank you for you work.
Glad to have you here!
Beautiful "Tool"! I can see why you would want to keep it 🙂. 🇺🇸😎
Thanks Danny! I can't help myself. This is why I shouldn't start doing T&E guns.... I don't like giving them back ;)
That sure is a handsome looking gun. Love my TriStar G2 20 gauge
Thanks man. They are very nice guns especially at their price point.
Great video brother. I love 410’s because I have a bad shoulder. My father would take a couple of slugs with him squirrel hunting and has taken deer with them. Take care and God Bless
If it keeps someone like yourself in the game then that should be enough reason for anyone to appreciate the .410! Thanks for the comment!
I have a 1964 browning auto 5 and it has a beed that you line up with the groove on top of the action and barrel....i shoot very well with it
Those are awesome shotguns.
That’s a beauty!
I really like that cerekote and bronzed look. Thanks for watching!
I have a 12 ga TriStar semi auto and use it for trap till I can afford a over under something.
Glad you found your Turkey gun :-))
TriStar guns get laughed at for being entry level but we all were "entry level" at one time. There is a place for them with a lot of shooters in my opinion.
That's good looking 410! Dammit Buffalo! Now I have to get one! But I'll leave it home when I go the grocery store to get my turkey! LOL! Thanks for sharing Brother!
Thanks! LOL
Head like a 5 gallon bucket???? You are killing me Smalls😂
It's the truth "dude"! ;)
Funniest line delivered dead on. He don’t know he’s funny 😆
@@marktroiani5401 lol
Hey Buffalo, aka Mr .410. Great video as usual. Not sure if you have seen them or not, but Charles Daly now offers a .410 upper. Just an FYI. Stay well down there in the Bluegrass.
That looks like a dandy turkey slayer 👍
I wish they would make a 12 gauge 3.5 inch version of this exact gun. I know they make the 3 inch but if they made it in 3.5 I think they would be extremely good sellers for them. I would most likely be one of their customers. In my opinion this is one of the best looking turkey guns on the market
I picked up the .410 mossberg 500 pump w/ Carlson's TSS choke and Federal TSS ammo! Just waiting to get shipped the gun! This tristar looks slick! That is for sure!
Man I seen that Mossberg added the interchangeable chokes to their .410 500. That is a great move and makes me want to buy one! That mossy oak they use on them looks fantastic too. I think you made a great choice.
@@buffalosoutdoors well I appreciate that sir! I can not wait!! Have a blessed evening!
I would assume that Turkey knows how to make a good turkey gun
It should come with the territory! LOL
You make a great video. Results are the proof in the pudding. I personally have no use for a .410 in the turkey woods. I have killed many deer with a .22,but it is not my choice for a deer gun. Same analogy with a .410 and turkeys. But each to his own,enjoy.
I didn’t know if I would like the pistol grip on a hunting shotgun but I can see the advantages now.
It makes sense to me on a turkey gun! Thanks for tuning in!
Only way to hunt turkey pistol grip comfort is key on that held up tom
Great video I like it
I have the stevens
Single shot Turkey gun
Shoots good too
I just wish tss ammo
Was a little cheaper
Was sold till you rang it up at the register lol! 👍😃
Hahaha! ;)
Those TSS loads really seem to work very well. I mean it doesn't hurt that you're a great shooter to begin with, but those loads definitely seem to be a game changer. I haven't used them yet, but from your videos they seem to perform pretty well.
Take it easy man. *:-)*
I love them in the .410, it really brings the performance up a notch.
Man that's a a really cool 410 I'd love to try one out sometime. Always been a 12 ga. Guy religiously.
Pistol grip nice touch 👍
I like the TriStar shotgun . I have the Raptor Attack model in 12 ga .
I haven't tried any of the Raptor series yet but I need to.
Great video first and foremost. Nice little shotgun also.
Thanks wildbill. Hope you and your family are safe!
So far. Hope to keep it that way. You all stay safe.
This is very cool 😎, keep it up 🤝💕✅
Dang on the fence so to speak on this but it's a good shooter no doubt. I like the looks it. On the chokes I couldn't see enough difference to choose one over the other. But when you shot the slugs that got close to my heart. I have some affection for slugs😄. Great video again👍.
Thanks Scott. I shot a few more slugs after the video and it appears to be shooting them a little to the right. I was favoring the right side of the targets at 50 yards. A little red dot or low powered scope would cure that though.
great!
I bought the viper g2 cause of your other videos, and I have a jebs x-full turkey choke on mine and I shoot ducks with it all the time
I have one and I love it very nice gun
Awesome!
I do like the look of that 410 but doubt we will see them here in the UK. 410 shells are real expensive here but these days I don't shoot 1000's of rounds, so no big deal. Glad to find your videos. I have learned a lot from you and your vids.
Many thanks for all the work fella.
Regards
Frank
Hello Frank. Glad you are enjoying the channel. Hello from Kentucky and best wishes.
If I've read right they were sold over here as the armsan a363, they weren't overly reliable and were withdrawn from sale. Don't know if they have corrected it now or not.
Awesome shotgun! I love some 410. Have you checked out the Steves single shot 410 with the extra full turkey choke? They come camo & got that little pic rail on top? I think they run around $150. Wouldn't mind gettin my hands on one of those... The TS loads have changed the game!!! Great video 👍 thanks Buffalo.
Could you do a breakdown of this shotgun. I just got mine and shot it. It did really good. However, to disassemble this shotgun for cleaning was a little difficult compared to other shotguns I own. Setting the barrel back into the receiver is crazy.The instructions were not good.
Love your videos.
$34.00 for 5 rounds keeps me from buying the TSS but I'm happy to see you giving so much great exposure to the Tri Star. Awesome
$34 that's cheap. My friend bought his 410 tss for $45 +. But they do get the job done.
I got me one Buffalos I got the 20 Ga Man I love it It got the 26” Barrel. I’m going to get my Boys the 301 Steven turkey gun sign shot
It sure looks good. If someone can't get it done with the stock turkey choke, the aftermarket one won't help enough to make a difference. The blemishes are probably why it's a T & E.
Good points all the way around. I didn't look at it that way but you're right. If you miss with the factory tube you're gonna miss with the Carlson's as well. Also agree about the blemishes. Excellent comment sir.
Both chokes will give you turkey for dinner. looks like a great shotgun
Good point David! Thanks for the comment my friend!
Do you mean .410 gun FROM Turkey or .410 gun FOR Turkey? 😋
I'm too old to accept a .410 for Turkey hunting, but TriStar makes great shotguns. And your pattern results were impressive.
I now own 4 Turkish made guns, A TriStar TT15 "unsingle" trap gun (don't go spreading that around the skeet field that I sometimes shoot trap!) a pair of Tedna Excellence O/Us (bought one for my wife, liked it so much I bought another for me) and a Tisas BR 9 Browning HP clone. All are GREAT quality and excellent values.
I really want to add a couple of the TriStar autoloaders to my collection.
You are one of the few channels that often features TriStar guns. I attribute that to your superior intellect!
Man I ALWAYS appreciate your honest insight in my comments section Gary. You always tell me how it is whether you agree with me or not and I was taught to have a great deal of respect for that.
Great video again! I'm using 3" 12 ga TSS this year. I like them close. Here in IL we can't use anything smaller than 20 ga. I'd use a 410 with TSS if they would allow it. Great looking gun! Thanks again sir!
I like em close too. Some people like the sport of "shooting at turkeys" more than the actual sport of turkey hunting! Thank you and I appreciate your comment!
Why use tss if shooting close? Tss is made for stretching range of subgage guns.
@eduffy just in case they ain't
@@derekbeyers8804 true. But any turkey out to 40yards is easily killed with a 12ga and good old fashioned cheap lead.
@eduffy I'm not gonna let a few dollars limit my range. After taking off work(self employed) driving to location, and all other expenses, I'm out for meat. I hunt how I want. I like em close but if you have the capability to shoot 50,60, 70 or farther why not? At the end of the day I'm shooting to my ability to make an ethical kill. Troll somewhere bud.
Very good review and very informative thanks for sharing. #PEACE ✌🏾
.410 has been underrated. But like you say. With advanced modern loads my old Savage Stevens would do the job
Absolutely.
Just bought a Stevens 301 in 410, it’s a single shot but throws a beautiful pattern with tss out to 40 yards.... I like the look of this tristar!👌
I tried sporting clays with my Mossberg .410 pump, and I was just wasting ammo lol. Maybe the full choke in it, or mayeb the fact it has fewer pellets... Trap isn't so bad, as long as the thrower is close, and hand thrown like you do.
Sporting clays with a .410 will humble anybody. Even when you do everything right you still miss sometimes just because of the small, sparse patterns and long shot string.....BUT IT'S A HECKUVA LOT OF FUN!
TSS through your .410 Mossy please Buffalo👍 would love to see that as I own one. Great video👍👍
It's out on loan to a friend right now or I would have already done it for ya! When I get it back it's on my list of videos! Thank you!
I just ordered this one today with the stimulus check I got.
Don’t think it will be here in time before my season ends here in Tennessee, but I can’t wait to try it out.
Me too mine here any day
@TenpointGuy when does Tennessee’s season end?
This weekend, but I doubt I go. Just too many hunters around me this year. I shot one with my Benelli, but nothing with my crossbow.
Next year I’ll be using the TriStar.
TenpointGuy every year me and my dad and uncle’s go down and hunt the banks of dale hollow because it’s all core ground ended up taking 4 goblers and one jake
That’s where I hunt too
I have seen more dedicated turkey rigs in 410, that surprises me as I would never thought of a turkey rig i that gauge, I expect in a tight enough choke it wold work, I have a Mossberg 500 pump 410 but it is not convertible chokes. I bought for a home defense rig , I have a screw on choke originally designed for a bolt action shotgun I picked up that I have thought of threading the barrel, I have already cut the choke off as I cut the barrel down to 18 inches for in home convenience, I do have a NEW Mossberg 500 in 410 as well. Wish I could find som 410 slugs, in the meantime a cut shell works OK. I like the oaks of this shotgun and if I could get for the store price you mentioned or near I would be a player.
Turkey taste so great my favorite game bird of all time. My grandpa tried to get me to like moose I could never develop a taste for it. Apparently Native American people love the taste he was 100% First Nation
I have never tried moose but I would give it a taste if I ever got the chance. I do like me some turkey though! ;)
Buffalo's Outdoors turkey should be the national bird in good ole USA. Keep the great content coming Buffalo!
Yes, the patterns look equal but I did wonder if there might be any more noticeable difference at another distance. Just a thought. Great looking shotgun and a good review. Thank you!
The difference might show up more out to 40. Good point.
I'm there Brother - SOLD to buy one 👌 Great presentation and video and channel 👍 Like 👍 Thumbs up 👍 👏 Buffalo 💯🇺🇸💪 God bless You Sir ✝️🇺🇸✝️
Awesome job as always what you think about the new Remington Model turkey
NY allows anything for turkey to my knowledge, there is nothing in the regs about bore size for shotguns other than for deer. Shot sizes 8-2 are legal, although if you ask the ECO officers, a lot of them will tell you that 5s are the minimum (and they hate it when you show them the regs and prove them wrong). I would love to try tungsten shells, if there were more on the market in 8 shot.
That is very impressive for a 410 if you don’t want to get the crap knocked out of you it’s ideal and follow up shots
Beautiful gun but I think you should turkey hunt with that 450 Bushmaster!!! :-D HAHAHAHAHA
This would also make one hell of a home defense gun with the turkey loads and chokes. If this is all you can afford and handle due to the recoil, those would be dead intruders instead of turkeys.
if you held slightly low with the factory choke i think you would have more shot on target. but thats just one shot. good video as always.
Hello mate, great content like usual, I laughed a lot when you talked about that shim and your face, was wondering if you ever made a video explaining the difference between the chokes and when to apply any or what should be the all around one to use, if you haven't can you make one comprehensive explaining the use and when of the chokes, cheers .... keep them coming.
I have made a couple of different choke videos but there is so much to explain. So many gray areas. A full choke tube doesn't necassarily give you a full choke pattern. Different shot sizes, hardness of shot, wads, and velocity all effect the size of the pattern. A modified choke with #4 lead might give you a modified pattern but #4 steel might throw a full choke pattern from that modified choke tube. I start talking in circles trying to explain everything, that's what's kept me from making an all inclusive choke video. Maybe I could break it down into bite sized pieces and do it that way in a series of videos. Thanks for the great suggestion.
@@buffalosoutdoors that would be awesome, maybe not detailed but a way someone like me understand the choke system better, and thank you, have a great day, and keep them coming.
The Carlsons choke looks like it has a few more hits than the factory choke in my opinion.
