Tri star cobra tactical pump?????

[bspillman]

Any one have any experience with these? Are they gem or junk?

For ~$40 more, you could buy a new Mossberg 500 that is a proven design, has a world of inexpensive accessories and spare parts available, and is made in the U.S.

Just sayin'.

If you're looking for a new dependable shotgun for low dollars, I'd point you towards this: http://www.iacshotguns.com/982pump.html

Rem 870 Express tacticals can be had all day long for around $300 and no worries on reliability. I'd spend a little more and buy total peace of mind.

Here's an 870 that's very similar: http://www.davidsonsinc.com/consumers/subsites/inven_product.asp?dealer_id=461&item=81198&instock=all&manufact_combo=Remington&mod_ser_combo=870&category_combo=None&model=870&g_type=None&act_type=&finish_type=None&calib_combo=12+Gauge&sight_class_combo=None&price_range=None&left_handed=&youth=&Offset_rec=0&num_rec=100&item_num=

With today's prices a new 870 Express with similar features will run you at least $450. Probably more.

Folks I have several others including a 500 and 870. I was asking if these would be worth adding to the collection.

I have the tri star semi auto viper and I like it a lot. i'm sure the pump version is just as good.

I would like others have said spend a little bit more and get an 870 or m500. Proven platforms, lots of aftermarket support. I have a Tristar viper g2 and while it is nice and looks like a higher end gun it's the one gun I wish I never bought. I've grown up with guys who used a5's and 1100's. And me explaining what a Tristar is sucks lol. And I'm by no means a gun snob. I just bet that long term support and nostalgia of these guns will be nonexistent sooner than later. It's my only "cheap" shotgun.
