LEDE Raptor II Lineup

TriStar Arms has released its semi-automatic, gas-operated Raptor II. The shotgun boasts a redesigned stock and fore-end, ensuring a secure grip and a streamlined appearance, while the oversized bolt release and operating handle make it easy to handle in any condition. A fiber-optic front sight promises quick and precise target acquisition, whether at the range or in the field.

Durability was made a core component of the Raptor II’s design. It features a chrome-lined chamber and barrel for long-lasting performance and smooth operation. Compatible with Beretta/Benelli Mobil-style choke tubes, the Raptor II provides flexibility between various shooting applications. Each shotgun includes Improved Cylinder, Modified and Full choke tubes from the factory.

The Raptor II is available in 12-gauge and 20-gauge models. The 12-gauge version features a 28-inch barrel and weighs an average of 7.1 pounds, while the 20-gauge model has a 26-inch barrel and a lighter weight of 6.9 pounds. A 20-gauge Compact version with a 24-inch barrel is also available. This is perfect not only for smaller-statured shooters, but for uplanders looking for a more portable package, and waterfowlers who need a tighter swing in their blind.

TriStar Arms offers the Raptor II and Raptor II Compact in three distinct finishes to suit various preferences and shooting environments:

  • Synthetic Finish: Rugged and practical, ideal for heavy-duty use. MSRP: $489.00
  • Walnut Finish: A classic look that combines tradition with performance. MSRP: $559.00
  • Mossy Oak Country Roots Camo: For hunters who need effective concealment in natural surroundings. MSRP: $579.00

“The Raptor II is a testament to TriStar’s commitment to delivering quality firearms at an affordable price,” said Ryan Bader, resident. “It’s designed for shooters who demand reliability and performance without compromising value. Whether you’re hunting, clay shooting, or just enjoying the outdoors, the Raptor II is built to exceed expectations.”
