The TriStar Bristol SxS transforms the traditional side-by-side shotgun into a premium sporting firearm that combines Old World craftsmanship with modern reliability. This 410 gauge delivers exceptional versatility for upland hunting, sporting clays, and small game pursuits where precision and elegance matter equally.
What Makes This Different
Unlike mass-produced shotguns, the Bristol features hand-engraved silver receiver work with genuine 24K gold inlay accents that create a distinctive appearance without compromising functionality. The oiled Turkish walnut stock provides superior grain patterns and weather resistance compared to standard hardwood alternatives. Five included MobilChoke tubes offer versatility that fixed-choke competitors cannot match.
Key Features
- Hand-engraved silver receiver with 24K gold inlay detailing
- Premium Turkish walnut stock with hand-rubbed oil finish
- 28-inch barrel length optimized for 410 gauge ballistics
- Five MobilChoke tubes included (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder, Cylinder, Skeet)
- 3-inch chamber capability handles both 2.5" and 3" shells
- Traditional side-by-side action with automatic ejectors

The 410 gauge platform excels in situations requiring reduced recoil and precise shot placement. Sporting clays shooters appreciate the quick handling characteristics of the 28-inch barrels, while upland hunters value the lightweight profile during extended field sessions. The included choke tube selection adapts performance from tight patterns at 40 yards with Full choke to open patterns for close-flushing birds using Cylinder bore.
