The TriStar Bristol 410 gauge side-by-side shotgun delivers traditional styling with modern manufacturing precision. This compact smoothbore excels at upland bird hunting and sporting clays where quick target acquisition matters more than raw power.
What Makes This Different
The Bristol features color case hardened receivers that provide both corrosion resistance and classic aesthetics that synthetic alternatives cannot match. Turkish walnut stocks offer superior grain density compared to American hardwoods, creating better balance and weather resistance. The included five MobilChoke tubes allow shooters to optimize patterns from cylinder bore to full choke without purchasing aftermarket components.
Key Features
- 28-inch barrels with 3-inch chamber capacity for versatile load selection
- Color case hardened steel receiver with traditional side-by-side action
- Oiled Turkish walnut stock with English-style straight grip design
- Five MobilChoke tubes included (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full)
- Extractors for reliable spent shell removal in field conditions
- Double triggers provide barrel selection control
- 14.25-inch length of pull fits most adult shooters
Field performance centers on the 410 gauge's reduced recoil and tight shot patterns at close to moderate ranges. The 28-inch barrels generate sufficient velocity for effective patterns out to 35 yards on upland birds. Double triggers allow instant barrel selection between different choke configurations. The straight English stock design promotes faster gun mounting compared to pistol grip alternatives.
