Detailed Features 

 
The single selective trigger lets you choose which barrel fires first without switching levers mid-shot. The MobilChoke system gives you five tubes (Full, Improved Cylinder, Improved Modified, Modified, Skeet), covering the full range from close-flushing birds to longer crossing shots. The chrome-lined bores resist corrosion and reduce fouling buildup. The top tang safety is accessible with a natural thumb movement from the grip. At 6.4 lbs the Bristol carries comfortably on upland hunts.

The TriStar Bristol Elite gets favorable reviews for its traditional aesthetics and overall value. The walnut stock and gold-inlaid engraved receiver are consistently cited as the main draws -- it looks like a significantly more expensive gun than it is, which appeals to buyers who want something attractive without going into custom or semi-custom pricing.

Performance feedback is generally positive: owners find it reliable, well-balanced, and appropriate for both upland hunting and casual clay shooting. The 20-gauge configuration handles comfortably for a wide range of shooters, and the two-round capacity is not a practical concern for the bird hunting contexts it's designed for.

A few owners note that the wood finish requires more regular maintenance than a synthetic-stocked gun to keep it looking its best. Some buyers compare its performance to other brands at similar price points and find the TriStar holds up well. As an entry-level or mid-range side-by-side with traditional styling, the Bristol is a solid option that overdelivers on aesthetics relative to its price.
