TriStar Arms 35226 Hunter 12 Gauge 3.5" 2-Round Camo Over/Under Shotgun

The TriStar Arms 35226 Hunter 12 Gauge 3.5" 2-Round Camo Over/Under Shotgun delivers reliable performance for upland hunters, waterfowlers, and tactical shooters who demand a versatile platform. This over/under configuration has earned its place in the field for decades, offering the balance of power and handling that professionals rely on when targeting game or training. At 9.2 lbs, the Hunter strikes the optimal weight-to-recoil ratio that experienced shooters understand—heavy enough to manage 3.5" magnum loads, light enough to carry through a full day in rough terrain.

The over/under design provides superior sight picture and faster target acquisition compared to side-by-sides, with barrels stacked vertically for minimal height offset. The 3.5" chamber accommodates premium magnum ammunition, allowing hunters to load heavier shot payloads—critical for extended-range waterfowl and turkey applications where standard 2.75" rounds fall short. The 2-round capacity (one per barrel) combined with the break-open action ensures rapid reloading and absolute reliability when malfunctions cannot be tolerated; there are no mechanical complexities or tight tolerances that degrade in harsh conditions. The camouflage finish provides effective concealment in mixed terrain and reduces reflection that spooks game.

This shotgun serves hunters pursuing ducks, geese, upland birds, and turkey, as well as sport shooters and law enforcement trainers who value mechanical simplicity and proven reliability. The 33.2-inch overall length and traditional ergonomics make it suitable for shooters of varying builds, while the camo pattern works effectively in brush, timber, and open water environments. Whether mounted with standard bead sights or customized with aftermarket optics via picatinny rails, the TriStar Hunter adapts to diverse hunting scenarios and personal preferences without modification to the receiver.
