The TriStar Cypher Sporting Over/Under 12 Gauge 3" 2rd 30" Chrome-Lined, Blued Barrel/Receiver, Deluxe Walnut Furniture, Adjustable Comb Stock, Fiber Optic Sight, 5 Extended Chokes (Model 33180, UPC 713780331805) is a purpose-built sporting shotgun designed for clay shooters and upland hunters who want premium features without a premium price tag. With 30" chrome-lined barrels, deluxe Turkish walnut, and a competition-ready adjustable comb, this Cypher Sporting delivers smooth handling, durability, and classic over/under elegance in one finely balanced package.
12 Gauge Over/Under With 3" Chamber – Versatile Sporting Platform
Chambered in 12 gauge with 3" chambers, the TriStar Cypher Sporting is ready for everything from light target loads to heavier hunting shells.
Whether you’re shooting sporting clays, 5-stand, or breaking birds over dogs, the Cypher Sporting is tuned for reliable performance and smooth operation.
30" Chrome-Lined, Ported Barrels for Smooth Swings & Longevity
The Cypher Sporting features 30" chrome-lined barrels that give you the length, balance, and durability serious shooters expect.
Chrome-lined bores resist corrosion, simplify cleaning, and extend barrel life.
Vent-rib barrels promote fast sight alignment and heat dissipation during long strings of fire.
Many retailers list these barrels as ported, helping reduce muzzle rise and soften perceived recoil—an advantage during fast doubles on clays.
The 30" length gives you a smooth, steady swing and a longer sighting plane, making it easier to track crossing targets and maintain follow-through.
Blued Steel Receiver & Deluxe Turkish Walnut Furniture
This Cypher Sporting model blends modern performance with traditional good looks:
The combination of rich walnut and deep bluing gives this shotgun a refined look that feels right at home on any sporting clays course or upland hunt.
Adjustable Comb Stock – Custom Fit for Better Target Acquisition
A standout feature of the TriStar Cypher Sporting 33180 is its stock with an adjustable comb.
Fine-tune comb height so your eye lines up perfectly with the rib and fiber optic front sight.
Improves consistency of mount and sight picture, which is crucial for sporting clays and competition.
Allows you to adapt the fit for different shooters or different shooting styles (trap vs. sporting vs. field).
A well-fitted comb helps turn more near-misses into solid breaks by making sure you’re always looking right down the rib.
Fiber Optic Front Sight for Fast Target Focus
The Cypher Sporting uses a bright fiber optic front sight mounted on the vent rib.
Highly visible in varied lighting conditions
Helps your eye naturally pick up the front bead and the target simultaneously
Perfect for sporting clays, 5-stand, and upland hunting, where fast target acquisition is everything
This modern fiber optic bead gives the gun a performance edge over plain brass beads in low or mixed light.
5 Extended Color-Coded Chokes – SK, IC, M, IM, F
Out of the box, the TriStar Cypher Sporting is ready to tackle multiple disciplines thanks to its five extended, color-coded choke tubes:
SK (Skeet)
IC (Improved Cylinder)
M (Modified)
IM (Improved Modified)
F (Full)
These extended chokes are easy to swap by hand and provide:
Clear visual choke identification via color coding
Versatility for everything from close skeet targets to long crossers and upland birds
Precise pattern control to match the course, the quarry, and your personal shooting style
A choke box and choke wrench are typically included, along with compatibility with Beretta/Benelli-style choke systems.
Solid Frame, Mono-Block Construction & Tang Safety
TriStar builds the Cypher Sporting on a solid frame with steel mono-block barrel construction for strength, reliability, and long-term durability.
Key operating features:
Break-open over/under action with top tang safety – easy, intuitive operation for both right- and left-handed shooters.
Barrel selector integrated in the tang safety, allowing you to choose which barrel fires first.
Automatic ejectors that kick spent shells clear for quick reloads on station.
This combination makes the Cypher Sporting a reliable, competition-ready shotgun that stands up to round after round of sporting clays or field work.
Balanced, Shoot-All-Day Handling
For a 30" sporting over/under, the TriStar Cypher Sporting 33180 remains impressively manageable:
The combination of weight, barrel length, and stock design gives it a smooth, predictable swing that helps you stay on line through the target—key for consistently breaking clays.
Backed by TriStar’s 5-Year Mechanical Warranty
