Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There is something about a side by side that an over/under just can't replicate, and the TriStar Bristol Silver leans into that tradition without asking for heirloom money. The receiver is a true steel frame, not an alloy stand-in, dressed up with crisp laser engraving, a nickel finish, and 24K gold inlay on the bottom of the action. Behind it sits an oil finished stock cut from select Turkish walnut in a classic English configuration, the kind of slim, straight-wristed profile upland hunters have favored for generations.
At 6.74 pounds with 28 inch barrels, this 12 gauge sits right in the sweet spot for a walking gun. It is light enough to carry all day behind a bird dog but has enough barrel out front to keep your swing smooth on crossing shots. The barrels are chrome lined for easier cleanup and long-term durability, chambered for 3 inch shells, and topped with a simple brass bead that fits the traditional look. A single selective trigger and a top tang safety that doubles as the barrel selector keep everything intuitive, and automatic ejectors kick spent hulls clear so you can reload fast when a covey rise catches you with two empty tubes.
TriStar includes five Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern choke tubes: Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That spread covers everything from tight-flushing quail over points to late-season pheasants that get up wild, and the Mobil pattern means aftermarket tubes are easy to find if you want something more specialized.
Doubles with this level of fit and finish usually come with a much steeper price of admission. The Bristol Silver gives you the engraved steel receiver, real walnut, ejectors, and a selective trigger, all backed by TriStar's 5-year warranty. Whether it is your first side by side or a working gun you will not baby, it is a lot of classic shotgun done right.
It ships with five removable choke tubes in Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full constrictions. The tubes use the Beretta/Benelli Mobil thread pattern, which is one of the most common on the market, so finding extended or specialty replacement tubes is easy.
This model comes with automatic ejectors, which kick fired hulls clear of the chambers when you break the action open. Unfired shells are only lifted for easy removal by hand. Ejectors are a big plus for fast reloads in the field and are a feature usually reserved for pricier doubles.
Yes, the 28 inch barrels are chambered for 3 inch shells, so it handles everything from light 2.75 inch target loads up to 3 inch magnum hunting loads. Keep in mind that at 6.74 pounds, heavy magnums will have some noticeable recoil, so most owners stick to standard field loads for a full day of shooting.
The Bristol uses a single selective trigger, so one trigger fires both barrels in sequence rather than the two triggers found on older doubles. The barrel selector is built into the top tang safety, letting you choose which barrel and choke fires first. It is a clean, intuitive setup that works well with gloves on.
