Designed for 3-gun competition and defensive versatility, the VR80 uses an adjustable gas system that reliably cycles 2¾ and 3 inch shells. The BufferBolt mechanism further tempers recoil, helping you stay on target for fast follow-up shots.
The shotgun’s AR-style controls include an ambidextrous safety selector, magazine release, and a reversible charging handle, making the platform comfortable for both right- and left-handed shooters. Standard top and handguard rails allow easy mounting of optics, lights, or other accessories.
A free-float M-LOK aluminum handguard keeps weight forward for balance while offering ample real estate for accessories. The spiral-fluted barrel shroud not only protects the barrel but also aids heat dissipation during high-volume strings.
The fixed polymer thumb-hole stock delivers a 14.5 inch length of pull and a familiar cheek weld, while the Mobil-pattern choke system lets you tailor patterns for sport, defense, or competition. This shotgun ships with a Modified choke installed and two additional tubes to cover common scenarios.
