The Pointer KAR2028HT Acrius delivers the precision and reliability that serious shotgun enthusiasts demand in a 20-gauge over/under configuration. This Turkish-manufactured shotgun combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to create a versatile platform suitable for upland hunting, sporting clays, and field competitions.
What Makes This Different
The Acrius stands apart from entry-level over/unders through its color case hardened receiver that provides both aesthetic appeal and enhanced durability. The 3-inch chamber capability handles everything from light target loads to heavy waterfowl rounds, while the 28-inch barrel length optimizes swing dynamics for consistent accuracy. Most comparable shotguns in this price range feature basic blued receivers and shorter barrels that limit versatility.
Key Features
- 20-gauge chambered for 2.75" and 3" shells for maximum load flexibility
- 28-inch over/under barrels with chrome-lined bores for corrosion resistance
- Color case hardened receiver with intricate pattern detailing
- Turkish walnut stock with hand-checkered grip areas
- Fiber optic front sight for rapid target acquisition in varying light
- Five interchangeable choke tubes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full)
- Single selective trigger with barrel selector mechanism
Field performance centers on the balanced 28-inch barrel configuration that provides smooth swing characteristics for crossing shots on upland birds and consistent patterns at sporting clays stations. The fiber optic sight system maintains visibility in low-light conditions common during dawn and dusk hunting periods. Chrome-lined barrels resist fouling buildup and maintain accuracy through extended shooting sessions without requiring frequent cleaning.
