Tristar Setter S/T | O/U 12 Gauge Shotgun Review

[@mcberthoud5124]

I had a $500 credit at a retailer. They had a 20g Setter with a small dent in wood of stock from factory selling for $399. We call it our “new shooter” in our family although my wife calls it “hers” when she’s busting clays with it. Had to return to US factory twice for broken firing pin. Barrell length is only 26”. I don’t like but new shooters build confidence with lighter tool. Easy to remember it's a

[@jameshoggard7471]

I have 20ga Setter for close to 5yrs now and haven’t had a problem. I use it for bird hunting so my round count is not high. It’s a decent shotgun for hunting and not getting worried about if it gets scratched up because that high gloss finish will chip if you look at it wrong.

[@calebblasingame2921]

I’ve been using this shotgun for about 7.5ish years now for trap shooting and it’s phenomenal, with this gun I took my average from 17-18 to 20-21 out of 25. However the low weight and the rock solid but pad has always been a big issue, it beats the hell out of your shoulder and on days where I’m sometimes shooting 100-200 clays a day, that gets to be one sore shoulder.

[@gezakasap7243]

I have a setter with ejector very reliable never lett me down i can shoot out high prices gun's I'm very happy with it!

[@bobdefiglio2.045]

Mine has held up fine. I have about 1,000 rounds through it. I use it for clays and I am fine fine with it. Owned it for 3 years. I was just getting into clay shooting and didn't want to spend $1,000 + for something that would just sit in my locker. I am definitely ready to move on, so I am saving up for a Browning. I will save this for pheasant, dove, and squirrel hunting.

[@danielnalepinski3884]

Biggest issue I had with mine was the barely selector/safety being stiff or harder to take off safe. Gave me a little issue lining up with ducks when I pulled up to shoot.

[@jodybehnke1523]

i have a20g Tristar Setter that I been using for sporting clays, I have about 2000 rounds without any problems

[@StephenCox-vj6en]

I started my kid out with this gun. We have had issues with the firing pin as well.

[@jeffreese4194]

How many rounds did you shoot before problems started?

[@creature-tron6769]

I just bought one of these but it came with some chokes installed, found it in a pawn shop for half price of what it was at my localWalmart, haven't shot it yet but very intrigued

Would like to see a review on the Dickinson Arms Greenwing 12 ga over under and their Hunter over under

[@taylorhughes8959]

Can you do a review for Cz redhead premier?

[@stevewealthy6120]

Any chance you could review the Mossberg Silver Reserve Eventide O/U? And compare it to other O/U's in the $500-800 price range. Going to be used for Trap and Clays. Thank you in advance. Love your videos

[@matthewbarnett4080]

You need to review Yildiz O/U

[@Light_357]

Always have to try field guns. Usually hate them because 1 that are short (lop)and 2 when mounted with a good cheek weld often can’t even see over the rib. Why tf do they put so much drop in them ??

Please review churchill 206 over under

Fourth

[@FengchenminZhang]

guys, I just got one , I believe sporting have longer barrel, the receiver are the same except engraving

[@AppalachianRancher]

I had a tristar tt15 sporting and recoil was a bit harsh on it especially after a hundred shells. I got a viper g2 sporting that has over 4000 shells through it without a hiccup. I shoot it well enough that I can't justify a more expensive semiauto. I love the a400 I had just didn't like the blue receiver so I got rid of it.

[@johnpeterson5193]

I've shot 2 TriStar guns and none Stevens 555 and they all had the same problem. The firing pins are a terrible design and are prone to breaking. The replacement pins are damn near impossible to find. You couldn't give me any TriStar gun.

[@bb5242]

sounds like a business opportunity

[@bill-qv3er]

My local gunshop had 4 of these in 12 and 20 gauge. They were garbage, I would never buy one.

[@TrevorStover]

Unfortunately all it takes is one bad gun to ruin a whole brand for me and when I tried a new Tristar and the action kept breaking open That was enough for me to know I don’t need a tristar

[@josephadair790]

All Tristar receiver`s are steel. Look it up before down playing a gun. Do your home work.

[@BeetleBuns]

with how soft the steel is, it might as well be aluminum

[@senderovizslas7771]

Looks like a citori clone.

[@josephmahoney7967]

By far the worst shotgun I've ever bought. Immediately had trigger problems out of the box.

[@ChrisSicking]

I miss your target focused life devotions or teachings. Whatever you call it.

[@David-hn5ix]

28ga was rusty out of the box. Trigger and safety is wonky. Ive got to dissamble and have a look. Paid cost for it. $300. Wouldn't buy it again

[@HALWG51]

I have the older Tristar called the Hunter EX. I've owned it for 11 years. I have never had a problem with it. It's my main pheasant gun with high brass pheasant loads. Last year I bought a TT-15 Sporting. I like it really well. I think for the money it's a great clays gun. Please review it.

[@brycehistand3155]

I have a tristar setter st. I have used it for shooting sporting clays mostly. There have been a few times where I have had trigger reset issues, but I took it apart and cleaned it and it worked well afterwards.

[@kdavis269]

How many rounds through it? Any issues with the firing pins?

[@brycehistand3155]

@@kdavis269 Approximately 200-300 rounds with no firing pin issues.

[@JefferyWoodcock]

I paid $381.00 from Walmart. Very heavy, a tank. In fact I named it Tank. Yes, if I really like a gun I name it. Gun is a Beretta clone. Good for money.

[@adventureswiththehuntfamily]

My son is on his school’s trap team and shoots a setter. His squad Won 3rd in Pa at the states championship and is on his way to nationals with his setter in hand.

[@RayHarris-z5e]

Great review, thanks. Anybody have comments on the Yildiz Legacy HPS?

[@lawrencesayre6828]

I've been shooting my 28 Gauge TriStar Setter ST at skeet and Wheelybird thrown clays or about 2 years now. My only complaints are stiff triggers and a stiff barrel selector/safety switch. I've done some Rabbit and Pheasant hunting with it, and for field use in the winter the trigger guard is too small for gloved hands. Other than that it shoots smack to point of aim from both (highly regulated) barrels, and is nearly spot on 50/50 in distribution at the patterning board. That may not suit those who prefer something more like 70/30. Overall I'm well pleased with mine.

[@acksin]

I have a setter st at about 1k rounds i had a broken firing pin. It was still under warranty and got it fixed no hassle with their support.

[@robinbanion3772]

Can you show and test: Beretta A400 explor upland 28guage magnum? Please!!!

[@jacoblee8610]

If you ever get a chance to review a g force one you definitely should give it a look. I've heard good but I would love to see what you think about it

[@MichaelJenkins-i8i]

Could you review the tris star tt15 sporting in 12 guage. Note the tt15 trap

[@mikesavage-cg8tq]

I've had a TriStar Hunter for going on 6 years. I paid less than $400. I have shot thousands and thousands of rounds of trap (mostly), skeet, and sporting clays. I broke 2 firing pins under warranty and the forearm split in two last spring. I bought a new forearm and it is back in service although not as much since I bought a Cynergy. But, for the money, I like the gun just fine!

[@jeremymckinna6804]

I have had this gun for 8 years now I put a recoil reducer in it other than replacing both firing pins at no cost I absolutely love it

[@johneasley2377]

I have the Setter LT. Blued receiver with ejectors. 20 gauge. Very satisfied with it.

[@billturner2370]

I have one and it's been great!

So it's basically a pointer acrius

[@jimedray]

When is the pointer acrius video coming out?

[@brentbusick2245]

I’m interested in the Acrius too

[@phillipfonseca8585]

I have a Pointer Acrius in 20ga. It came with 5 extended choke tubes. $350 out the door. I’ve had it for 3 years now, at least 1,000 rounds through it with no issues. I pulled it out for RSO inspection where I shoot clays last weekend and the RSO says “oh, nice.”. Some older fella walking the range with his 12ga Silver Pigeon also commented on it. Also a tad forward heavy, but not bad at all. I love it for the price point. I told my wife if it ever craps out on me, for the cost it will make a nice wall decoration. 😂

[@pickin4you]

You do realize that is the same as the Mossberg silver reserve that is made on the same factory in Turkey? You are shooting the same gun and giving different remarks about it. It just has someone else’s brand stamped on it. There are several of these same O/U’s with different names but are the same gun. Just like the Mossberg, the receivers are aluminum with a steel breech plate. It’s look up the stinkin stats dude. Just sayin. Read the manual. It’s all in there. You are supposed to be a pro and you have yet to read the operators manual which would keep you from looking like a total dunce head on here. Second time now and you don’t even know it’s just the Mossberg with someone else’s name stamped on it. Everything is exactly the same. Other than some laser engraving.

[@mitchmartin9479]

Can you review the Yildiz sporting HPS 12 gauge OU from Academy

[@ryanwolfert8618]

Not the exact gun, but I had a tri-star hunter Meg over under action, got sloppy quick after three years of use, started randomly double fire in both barrels, took it to a gunsmith. They could not figure out why I know shoot a browning Cinergy

[@bobgutowski3153]

I have 4 of them one each in 410,28,20,12 no problems with any of them waterfowl hunt with them all the time

[@codywiderberg2817]

I have the Setter in 20 guage that I bring to all my hunts for a backup or as a loaner. Had it for 4 years stalk is cheap and banged up. It hits birds and never had a failure. Not a clay gun, wouldn't ever hold up. I also have a tristar tt-15 field in 28 guage and I love it for chukar and quail much better built gun.

[@chopa184]

I have the Tri Star Upland Hunter Silver 20g from Walmart and at $400 it is a great buy shoots excellent without any issues only about 600-700 rds in sporting clays but for the money well worth it of course no comparison to my Citori but that also cost x6 as much

[@whatssupgames2479]

Had mine for don't know how long now but probably shot 5000 shells through it at trap And have had no problems once however and doesn't really hurt me on the cheek

[@nitrosolutions9661]

gotta review some more side-by-side shotguns like the CZ Bob White or the Tri-Star Bristol!

[@travishintz9465]

I have it in 20g it's my favorite grouse gun and has a couple thousand rounds through it, plus I don't feel bad if it gets tiny scratches in it like other guns i own.

[@MalindaBell-tb4mh]

How about a review of the tristar TT-15 trap combo with the adjustable stock and rib?

[@kenbarbret6632]

I bought the 410 version of this gun a couple years ago for my daughter. It's been a good gun with no issues. The trigger is a little funky, but we haven't had any misfires or anything. My only worries are in the long run, how will the firing pin hold up? I've been told that the ones made in Turkey don't hold up. We'll see I guess.

[@lordfire1707]

I own this gun over all it’s a good shotgun for the price, the only think I’ve noticed from a lot of clay shooting and bird hunting with it is every now and then It’ll fire both shells at once lol other then that it’s great

[@jimedray]

Can you do a review on the cz 32"target pump 12ga. It has a Monty Carlo stock.

[@jamescobb2887]

Maybe you can get your hands on a Tristar Cypher sporting shotgun that recently came out.

How did you find all your tristar so cheap . My trinity lt was 650

It's a great sporting clays gun, and all around bird gun with a 5 yr warranty

I looked at these last Saturday. The store had four in stock and they all had an odd grey color stain on the wood.

I have the Walmart model in 20 gauge that I have had about 15 months, and I bought the Trident model in 12 gauge about 6 months ago. I have been happy with them. I shoot 50 rounds each weekend. The 20 is so fast to bring up and swing. The 12 is also easy to swing. I did have a nut come loose in my 20 that would randomly cause a hammer to not work. I lost the nut when I opened the gun up. I sent an email and got a quick response with a promise to send a replacement. Shipping took 3 weeks, but I got what I needed. I don't have the fanciest gun at the club, but it works great for me.
