Description
There's a lot to like about a pump gun that shows up ready to hunt, and the TriStar Cobra III Field in Realtree Max-7 checks that box. The 3-inch chamber digests everything from featherweight target loads to stout waterfowl shells, and the 28-inch vent rib barrel gives you the sight plane and swing you want on crossing birds. TriStar chrome-lines both the barrel and chamber, which pays off when you're running steel shot in wet, muddy conditions and cleaning the gun after a long day in the blind.
Chokes, Sights, and the Details That Matter on the Cobra III Field
The barrel is threaded for Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern chokes, and TriStar includes three tubes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full) along with a storage box and wrench. That thread pattern is one of the most common out there, so if you want to add an aftermarket turkey or waterfowl choke down the road, you'll have no shortage of options. Up top, a fiber optic front sight grabs light in dim timber and early morning marsh conditions where a plain brass bead tends to disappear.
Built for the Field, Dressed in Max-7
The injection molded synthetic stock and extended forend are dipped in Realtree Max-7, a pattern designed to blend into marsh grass, flooded timber, and open field edges alike. A soft rubber recoil pad takes the sting out of magnum loads, and factory swivel studs mean you can throw on a sling without any drilling or gunsmithing. Capacity is 5+1 with 2.75-inch shells, and a removable plug is there for when regulations call for it. At roughly 6.8 pounds it carries well on long walks but has enough heft to soak up recoil.
The cross-bolt safety sits at the rear of the trigger guard, so anyone who has spent time behind an 870 will feel right at home. TriStar backs the Cobra III with a five-year warranty, which is solid coverage in this price class. For duck blinds, dove fields, or knocking down clays on the weekend, this is a working shotgun that earns its keep.

Frequently Asked Questions
What choke tubes come with the TriStar Cobra III Field, and what thread pattern does it use?
It ships with three flush-fit choke tubes: Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full, plus a storage box and wrench. The barrel uses the Beretta/Benelli Mobil thread pattern, which is widely supported, so finding aftermarket turkey or waterfowl chokes is easy.
Can the Cobra III Field handle 3-inch waterfowl loads?
Yes, it has a 3-inch chamber and is built to run everything from light 2.75-inch target loads up to heavy 3-inch magnum waterfowl shells. The chrome-lined barrel and chamber also hold up well to steel shot and wet-weather hunting.
What is the capacity of this shotgun?
It holds 5+1 with 2.75-inch shells, or 4+1 with 3-inch shells. A removable plug comes installed for situations where you need to limit magazine capacity, and it pulls out easily when you don't.
Will the controls feel familiar if I've used other pump shotguns?
Very much so. The cross-bolt safety sits at the rear of the trigger guard just like a Remington 870, and the action release button is easy to reach. If you've run a common American pump gun, there's basically no learning curve here.
