Finding a semi-auto shotgun that fits a young hunter or a smaller-framed adult usually means settling for a stripped-down single shot or paying a fortune for a name brand. The TriStar Raptor II Field Compact splits the difference nicely. It runs a proven gas-operated action in 20 gauge, which does a lot of the recoil-soaking work for you, and pairs it with a shortened 13 inch length of pull so the gun actually mounts right on a shorter frame. At around 6.7 pounds with a 24 inch barrel, it swings quick without feeling whippy.
The barrel and chamber are chrome lined, which matters more than most spec sheets let on. It shrugs off moisture on wet mornings and cleans up fast after a long weekend chasing birds. The 3 inch chamber handles everything from light target loads up to stouter hunting shells, and the vent rib topped with a fiber optic front sight gets your eye on target in low dawn light. TriStar updated this generation with an oversized charging handle and a larger bolt release, both welcome upgrades for cold or gloved hands, plus a softer recoil pad that takes even more sting out of an already mild-shooting 20 gauge.
Three Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern choke tubes come in the box, covering improved cylinder, modified, and full, so you can go from close-flushing quail to longer passing shots without buying anything extra. A magazine cut-off near the trigger guard lets you swap the chambered shell without cycling a fresh one from the tube, handy when a different bird presents itself. Swivel studs are already installed for a sling, and the black synthetic stock takes brush, briars, and truck beds in stride.
With 5+1 capacity, a crossbolt safety, and manageable weight, this is the kind of gun a new hunter learns on and keeps reaching for seasons later. It covers dove fields, squirrel woods, rabbit trails, and clays practice with equal ease.
Yes, that's exactly what it was built for. The 13 inch length of pull is roughly an inch shorter than a standard adult stock, so younger and smaller-framed folks can mount it properly. Combine that with the gas system and soft recoil pad on a 20 gauge and you get a very manageable gun to learn on.
It ships with three tubes in improved cylinder, modified, and full, which cover most upland, small game, and clays situations. The threads follow the Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern, one of the most common on the market, so aftermarket tubes are easy to find if you want to add an extended turkey choke or anything else down the road.
Gas-operated shotguns like this one tend to be more forgiving with lighter loads than inertia guns, and this Raptor II generally runs standard 2-3/4 inch field and target loads well once broken in. Like most gas semi-autos, it helps to run a couple boxes of heavier field loads through it first and keep the gas system clean. The 3 inch chamber handles magnum hunting loads too.
The cut-off, located near the trigger guard, lets you open the action and eject the chambered shell without feeding a new one from the magazine. Hunters use it to quickly swap to a different load, like switching shot sizes when a different game opportunity shows up, without emptying the tube.
