TriStar over under

Stopped by a shop tonight and looked one of these Turkish made 12 gauge shot guns over and was pretty pleased with what I saw although I didn't have my glasses to see just what type it was. Light weight, very nice wood and a very tight brake down action. Changeable chokes for both barrels plus nice engraving on the receiver. They only had one priced new at $357 plus tax. Looking online the cheapest version looks to cost $100 or way more. Anyone own one of them for a review ?

I buy something new every now and then to place in the new section of the safe just for looks that will probably never be fired by me. I don't have access to bird hunting or such but sure love to look the guns.

I haven't seen this brand, but a few years ago I bought my ex wife a Stoeger Condor, made in Brazil. It was good for the price. Aprox $350. The thing about guns in this price range, is that while they make good field guns, they don't seem to hold their value, like if you were to buy the equivalent Beretta, Browning or Ruger, etc.

We carry these at Walmart at a Sub $400 price point; I ordered up and have 3 in stock... Pretty nice if you ask me. :wink:

I've found many times if they can order or have the gun on hand to buy you'll usually find no better price. I've bought a lot of guns through your employer and the older lady who works the local counter in my town is the best. She's been collecting more years then most of us have been alive. I always ask her opinion on anything that catches my eye. Thanks Rongo, I'll stop in and visit her and see what she has to offer.
