The TriStar Hunter Mag II delivers reliable semi-automatic performance for serious waterfowl hunters who demand consistent cycling with heavy magnum loads. This 12-gauge platform handles everything from light target loads to punishing 3.5-inch magnums without missing a beat.
What Makes This Different
Built on TriStar's proven gas-operated system, the Hunter Mag II cycles faster and more reliably than many competing semi-automatics in its price range. The 26-inch ventilated rib barrel provides optimal swing dynamics for waterfowl hunting while maintaining enough length for effective long-range patterns. Five included MobilChoke tubes cover every hunting scenario from tight modified patterns to wide-open cylinder bore spreads.
Key Features
- Gas-operated semi-automatic action handles 2.75", 3", and 3.5" shells reliably
- 26-inch ventilated rib barrel with fiber optic front sight for quick target acquisition
- Complete Mossy Oak Break-Up camouflage coverage eliminates reflection and breaks up outline
- Five MobilChoke tubes included: Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder, Light Modified, and Cylinder
- 2+1 capacity provides quick follow-up shots on fast-moving waterfowl
- Synthetic stock and forend resist weather damage and maintain zero in harsh conditions
- Chrome-lined chamber and barrel extend service life with corrosive ammunition
Field performance centers on the Hunter Mag II's ability to cycle heavy waterfowl loads that cause feeding issues in lesser semi-automatics. The gas system adjusts automatically to different shell lengths and powder charges, maintaining consistent ejection patterns whether running light dove loads or maximum-power goose magnums. Hunters report reliable function in temperatures from freezing duck blinds to hot early-season teal hunts.
