Overview
The TriStar Upland Hunter Thumbhole is a 20-gauge over/under break-action shotgun introduced in 2026 for upland bird hunting. It pairs a bronze-finished receiver with a Mossy Oak Greenleaf thumbhole synthetic stock, chrome-lined barrels, a ventilated rib with a fiber-optic front sight, and a single selective trigger. A top-tang safety doubles as the barrel selector, and five Beretta/Benelli-style Mobil choke tubes (SK, IC, M, IM, F) ship with the gun.
