The TriStar Cypher X is a 12-gauge over/under with a lightweight aluminum frame, blued finish, and deluxe walnut stock. The 28-inch barrel sits over a 3-inch chamber, and the gun weighs 6.5 lbs, enough mass to dampen recoil without becoming tiresome to carry. Five Beretta-pattern chokes (SK, IC, M, IM, F) are included, giving you the range from open skeet to tight full patterns.

Detailed Features
The over/under action gives each barrel its own trigger pull, which keeps the manual of arms straightforward, break the gun, reload, close. The 28-inch barrels are long enough to encourage a smooth follow-through without making the gun unwieldy in tighter cover. Aluminum keeps the receiver weight down compared to steel-frame alternatives at this price tier.
The walnut stock provides a natural grip surface and a traditional look. With the full choke set included, the Cypher X works for trap, skeet, sporting clays, and upland hunting without requiring additional tube purchases.
