Another 200 down the tubes for a total of 1950. Everything is running smooth. Just need to clean the chokes. have not touched them since I bought it.

Had the Beretta 391 out this week too.

Which one do you shoot better, the 391, or the tri-Star Hunter EX?

Gabbard,
They do take Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke styles, I got some extended Carlson's Cyl for skeet which is my primary use. Mine seems to shoot right on POA.

I missed shooting the 391. I love both Guns and I shoot them about the same, but since the 391 was my first Clays gun it has a special place in my heart.

I love my Semi-Autos also, I consider O/U shotguns to be a hobby.

I have the TriStar Setter ST O/U and absolutely love it. I'm not the best shot and recently new to trap. My scores are better than ever! I have about 200 shots through it and no issues whatsoever.

Past the 2000 round mark with 200 this weekend. Great time with a total of 2150.

100 sporting last week and 125 skeet and sporting this week.

2400 total. First time I took out the chokes and gave it a good cleaning. Lots of plastic fouling taken down with the brass brush and the power drill. I really need to clean my chokes more often.

I like the looks of the EX hunter just a little afraid of quality this test makes me think I want the 20 gauge. Can be bought on Buds for less than 500. If I sell me 870 20 gauge I think i will order a Tri Star.

Another 175 down total of 2825. Enjoying it so far. No issues and breaks clays like a charm.

Good to hear, I see they make a 16 Ga model, I may look into it as I love the 16.

Especially that 16 Ga, dang, a 6 pound 16 Ga, that would make one heck of an upland gun

Never had the first problem out of my tristars. Hunter 3.5 o/u and raptor.

I really think tristar is similar to savage about 15 years ago

I'll keep watching this thread, and see how it goes. So far so good.

For those that shoot Tristars, what's the highest round count you've recorded?

125 down for a total of 2950. A tiny amount of surface rust has appeared on the barrel, but that is really my fault for shooting in the rain and not doing a good job of cleaning and oiling it. I need to give her some TLC.
