Detailed Features 

The break-open action makes for quick reloads and straightforward operation. The chrome-lined bore resists corrosion and holds up through steady round counts. Turkish walnut gives the stock a natural look and a stable feel in the hand. The single selective trigger lets you choose which barrel fires first, which matters when you want to sequence chokes for different target presentations. Five interchangeable Mobil chokes come included (F, IM, M, IC, SK), covering most hunting and clay target distances. The top-tang safety is positioned where most shooters find it instinctive. 
 

Usage 

The Setter ST works well for upland bird hunting and clay target disciplines like skeet and sporting clays. The fiber optic front bead improves visibility in low-light morning conditions. At this price point it competes as a practical entry into over/under shooting without requiring a major investment in the platform.

The TriStar Setter ST draws consistent praise for what you get at its price. Most buyers compare it favorably against more expensive over/unders and come away satisfied with the trade-off.

Build quality is generally viewed positively. The Turkish walnut stock and the chrome-lined barrel get specific mentions for looking and functioning better than the price suggests. Recoil is described as manageable, and the balance of the 28-inch barrel suits most shooters well.

Common criticisms focus on break-in: some users report occasional ejection hiccups or misfires in the first few hundred rounds before the action smooths out. This seems to resolve with use for most owners.

More experienced shooters sometimes note it falls short of premium over/unders in trigger feel and overall fit-and-finish, which is expected at this price tier. For beginners and casual clay shooters it tends to exceed expectations. For someone who puts high round counts through their gun regularly, they may eventually want to move up to a more refined platform.
