Tristar Double Barrel SXS
« on: March 03, 2023, 01:50:49 PM »
I have been looking at these Tristar side by sides on the internet and it appears to be a decent gun at the price point. I think the one I am looking at is around $1000.  Anyone have any experience with these? Thanks in advance!

I don't have any experience with the sxs, but I just bought a tristar viper g2 and I am happy with it.  Seems Tobe good quality for the price point.

A lot of Tristar TT15 trap guns at clubs anymore. They are an entry level target gun, but seem to be doing well. People like them. I'm sure the SxS would be just as good.

Looked at the SXS's a while back and thought they looked good. Know people that have the brand in various styles and they are happy with them.

Excellent. Thanks fellas. I have always wanted a SXS but I want something that I will use and not worry too much about the appearance. Found a lot of cool SXSs but they were all very pricey compared to the Tristar.

Hunting buddy has an over under he uses for pheasant. He has been satisfied with it.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I'm interested in the Tristar Bristol sxs 28ga. It looks like a beautiful shotgun.

Make sure you pattern it.   Until I see a noticeable increase in quality, I’d skip all Turkish guns and get a good used gun, especially a Japanese gun from Miroku or SKB.

I just bought a cz drake o/u, which is a Turkish gun.  First time I shot it ran a 25 shooting trap at 16 yards

That is my other possibility I'm looking at. A CZ Drake 20ga Southpaw (cast-on).

You've got the Southpaw? How do you like it? Do you feel the cast-on makes a difference for your mount and sight picture, as opposed to a neutral-cast gun (most American guns are neutral-cast). I am right handed but left eye dominant and learned how to shoot off my left shoulder over 30 years ago, but it still doesn't come natural to me after all these years. I was wondering if a cast-on shotgun might make it a little more intuitive for me.

Yes I like and it fits me perfectly.  I can't tell you about the difference in cast off cause I never held the regular one.  I would have to compare them side by side to see the difference.
