The TriStar Cobra III Field Pump 12 Gauge is a pump-action shotgun with a 28-inch barrel, a black synthetic stock and a 3-inch chamber (TriStar part no. 23146). TriStar designed the Cobra III to shoot everything from light target loads to heavy waterfowl loads, and its injection-molded stock and forearm stand up to weather and rough handling. A vent rib with a fiber optic sight and a chrome-lined chamber and barrel round out the field package. At about 6.8 pounds it suits dove fields, duck blinds and general-purpose use. It is a straightforward, hardworking shotgun for general field use.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12 gauge, the most widely available gauge, with loads for every game and target.
• The chamber accepts 3-inch shells, so it handles light target loads through heavy field loads.
