TriStar Arms 38016 Bristol SxS 2.75" 2-Round Walnut Stock Shotgun

The TriStar Arms 38016 Bristol SxS 2.75" 2-Round Walnut Stock Shotgun is a time-tested side-by-side double-barrel shotgun engineered for hunters, sport shooters, and professional field operators who demand reliability without unnecessary complexity. Built on proven side-by-side mechanics that have served law enforcement and military personnel for over a century, this 12-gauge delivers the fast target transition and redundancy that define effective shotgun performance. The Bristol platform offers the straightforward operation and fail-safe reliability that field-proven shotguns must provide.

Chambered for 2.75-inch shells with a two-round capacity, this side-by-side configuration provides fast barrel selection and intuitive handling in dynamic scenarios where shot placement matters. The walnut furniture adds weight distribution and structural integrity while maintaining the classic ergonomics that make double-barrel shotguns instinctive to shoot; the wood also dampens felt recoil across the 9.5-pound frame. Twin barrels allow independent trigger control and immediate transition between shot placement, making the Bristol an effective tool for driven game, clay sports, and tactical applications where multiple targets or follow-up shots require precision timing.

This shotgun suits hunters pursuing upland game and waterfowl, defensive shooters prioritizing simplicity and reliability, and shooters who appreciate the balance and pointing characteristics of side-by-side doubles. The 37-inch overall length provides adequate sight radius and barrel length for pattern control at hunting and tactical distances, while the manageable dimensions support carry and close-quarters handling. Compatible with 2.75-inch ammunition across standard loads, the Bristol adapts to various field conditions without modification or adjustment.
