Getting a young hunter started with the right shotgun makes all the difference, and the TriStar Raptor II Youth checks the boxes that matter. It's a gas-operated 20 gauge semi-auto, which means the action soaks up a good chunk of the recoil before it ever reaches the shoulder. Pair that with a shortened 13 inch length of pull and a softer recoil pad, and you've got a gun that a smaller-framed shooter can mount properly, swing naturally, and shoot all day without developing a flinch.
The 24 inch vent rib barrel keeps the overall package quick-handling in a duck blind or on a dove field, and both the barrel and chamber are chrome lined for easier cleanup and long-term durability. A fiber optic front sight picks up light early and late in the day when birds are moving, and the 3 inch chamber gives you room to step up to heavier hunting loads when the situation calls for it. TriStar also gave this second-generation Raptor an oversized operating handle and bolt release, which is a genuinely useful touch for cold mornings and gloved hands. Sling swivel studs come installed, and the whole gun, receiver included, wears Mossy Oak Country Roots camo so it disappears into timber and field edges.
You get three Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern choke tubes in the box, so you can tighten up for late-season birds or open things up for close flushes without hunting down aftermarket parts. Capacity is 5+1 with a removable shot plug included for bird seasons that limit you to three rounds.
Plenty of adults with shorter arms end up preferring compact 20 gauges like this one, so this is a gun that stays useful even after the kid shoots up six inches. It's a practical, well-thought-out semi-auto that gets new hunters into the field with gear that works.
It's one of the better setups for a new hunter. The gas-operated action noticeably softens 20 gauge recoil, and the 13 inch length of pull fits smaller frames so kids can mount the gun correctly instead of stretching for a full-size stock. The softer recoil pad and lighter overall build help keep practice sessions comfortable.
It has a 3 inch chamber, so it runs both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch 20 gauge shells. That covers everything from light target loads for practice to heavier hunting loads for waterfowl and turkey. Like most gas guns, it cycles best with loads that carry a bit of authority, so very light promo shells may need some break-in first.
Yes, it ships with three choke tubes in the Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern, which is one of the most common thread styles out there. That makes finding extended or specialty chokes down the road simple. A removable shot plug is also included for hunts where capacity is limited.
Plenty of adults with shorter arms or smaller builds prefer compact shotguns like this one. The 13 inch length of pull and 24 inch barrel make it fast-handling in a blind or thick cover. Taller shooters with long arms may find the stock a touch short, but for average and smaller frames it works well.
