Rock Island Armory’s NEW VR80 Semi-Auto Shotgun for 2019
Rock Island Armory recently introduced a new shotgun to their lineup called the VR80. The RIA VR80 is a semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun that uses a five shell box magazine and a gas piston system that functions smooth and flawlessly. It will accept both 2 3/4 and 3 inch shotgun shells. The lower receiver and fore-end hand-guard are made of anodized aluminum which adds weight (9 pounds loaded with five shells) to the shotgun thus decreasing the felt recoil. The polymer stock has a connecting arm to the grip that gives it a different look as Rock Island calls it a thumb-hole stock. The VR80 comes with flip up rear and front sights along with three chokes (cylinder bore, modified and full) which is a nice touch for a shotgun that has an MSRP of $699.
