The TriStar Bristol SxS delivers classic side-by-side elegance with modern manufacturing precision in the versatile 16-gauge platform. This full-size shotgun combines hand-engraved silver receiver work with 24-karat gold inlay details for a presentation-grade appearance that performs equally well in the field or at the sporting clays course.
What Makes This Different
Unlike mass-produced doubles, the Bristol features hand-fitted action components and Turkish walnut stocks with oil finish that enhances the natural grain patterns. The silver-engraved receiver showcases traditional scroll work accented by genuine 24K gold inlay elements. Five included MobilChoke tubes provide versatility from cylinder bore to full choke constrictions, adapting to everything from upland birds to waterfowl.
Key Features
- 16-gauge chambered for 3-inch shells with 28-inch barrel length

The 16-gauge chambering strikes an ideal balance between the lighter 20-gauge and heavier 12-gauge options, providing adequate power for medium to large game while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. The 28-inch barrel length optimizes swing dynamics for crossing shots while maintaining enough velocity for longer-range opportunities. Weather-resistant finish protects against field conditions while the traditional double-trigger design ensures reliable function regardless of ammunition type.
