Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Rock Island Armory VR82 is a semi-automatic 20-gauge shotgun designed as the lighter counterpart to the larger VR80. Built on a 7075-T6 aluminum receiver, it emphasizes both strength and reduced weight, making it easier to handle while still delivering the rugged durability expected from a tactical shotgun. It features an 18-inch barrel compatible with Mobil chokes, and its gas-operated system cycles both 2¾-inch and 3-inch shells reliably. At around 7.5 pounds, the VR82 provides a balanced platform that blends maneuverability with solid shooting performance. This shotgun is also highly adaptable, taking cues from AR-style controls and ergonomics. It uses detachable box magazines with a standard 5+1 capacity, and larger capacity magazines are available for extended use. Ambidextrous controls, flip-up sights, and a full-length Picatinny rail on the receiver allow for easy customization with optics or accessories, while M-LOK slots on the forend provide further flexibility. Its lighter recoil and versatile design make the VR82 a strong choice for home defense, competition, or sporting applications, offering modern features in a more approachable gauge.
