The Pointer KAR1228 Acrius delivers precision engineering in an over-under configuration that excels across multiple shooting disciplines. This 12-gauge platform combines Turkish craftsmanship with modern manufacturing standards to create a versatile shotgun suitable for clay sports, upland hunting, and competitive shooting.
What Makes This Different
The Acrius features a dual-barrel design with independent firing mechanisms, allowing shooters to select different choke configurations for varying shot presentations. The nickel-plated receiver showcases hand-engraved detailing that resists corrosion while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Unlike single-barrel alternatives, this over-under configuration provides instant access to two different loads without manual cycling.
Key Features
- 12-gauge chambered for 3-inch shells with 28-inch barrel length for extended range performance
- Five interchangeable choke tubes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full)
- Turkish walnut stock with oil finish and traditional checkering pattern
- Nickel-plated receiver with hand-engraved scroll work and corrosion resistance
- Single selective trigger system with barrel selection capability
- Automatic ejectors for rapid shell extraction during competitive shooting
- 3-inch chamber capacity accommodates both 2¾-inch and 3-inch shell lengths
Field testing demonstrates consistent patterns at extended ranges, with the 28-inch barrel length providing enhanced velocity and tighter shot groups. The included choke selection covers applications from close-range upland birds to long-distance waterfowl hunting. Weather-sealed action components maintain reliability in adverse conditions, while the walnut stock provides natural moisture resistance and dimensional stability across temperature ranges.
