The TriStar Cobra III Field delivers reliable semi-automatic performance in 20 gauge with 3-inch chamber capability for versatile hunting applications. This gas-operated shotgun combines proven Turkish craftsmanship with modern features at an accessible price point.
What Makes This Different
The Cobra III Field utilizes a proven gas-operated system that cycles both 2.75" and 3" shells reliably without adjustment. Unlike many budget semi-autos that struggle with light loads, this shotgun maintains consistent cycling across various shell weights. The 28-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for waterfowl hunting while maintaining swing characteristics suitable for upland game.
Key Features
- Gas-operated semi-automatic action cycles 2.75" and 3" 20 gauge shells
- 28-inch chrome-lined barrel with ventilated rib and fiber optic front sight
- 5+1 capacity with removable magazine plug for hunting compliance
- Three MobilChoke tubes included (IC, M, F) for versatility
- Black synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces for secure handling
- Crossbolt safety located behind trigger guard
- Aluminum receiver with black anodized finish resists corrosion
Field testing shows consistent cycling with loads ranging from 7/8 ounce target loads to 1.25 ounce magnum hunting shells. The 20 gauge platform reduces felt recoil compared to 12 gauge alternatives while maintaining effective range for most hunting scenarios. Weather-resistant synthetic furniture handles moisture and temperature variations without warping or cracking.
