The TriStar Raptor II delivers reliable semi-automatic performance for waterfowl hunting and sporting applications. This 12-gauge platform combines proven gas-operated cycling with practical features that perform consistently across various ammunition types.
What Makes This Different
The Raptor II features a gas-operated system that cycles both 2¾" and 3" shells without adjustment, eliminating the need for manual regulation found in many competing models. The ventilated rib barrel includes three interchangeable choke tubes (IC, M, F) for versatility across hunting scenarios. Unlike fixed-choke alternatives, this system adapts to different shot patterns and ranges without requiring additional barrel purchases.
Key Features
- Gas-operated semi-automatic action cycles 2¾" and 3" shells automatically
- 28-inch barrel with ventilated rib and three interchangeable choke tubes
- 5+1 capacity with reliable feeding from detachable magazine
- Black synthetic stock resists weather and provides consistent length of pull
- Chrome-lined barrel bore extends service life and simplifies maintenance
- Crossbolt safety located behind trigger guard for intuitive operation
- Fiber optic front sight enhances target acquisition in varying light
Field performance centers on consistent cycling across shell weights from light target loads to heavy waterfowl magnums. The 28-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity for long-range shots while maintaining balance for quick follow-ups on moving targets. Weather sealing protects internal components during extended exposure to moisture and debris common in waterfowl environments.
