Key Features
- Chrome-Lined 28-Inch Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Chrome lining boosts corrosion resistance and extends barrel life, so you can run thousands of rounds without accuracy drop-off, even in wet conditions.
- Laser-Etched Floral Coin Finish Receiver — WHY IT MATTERS: This isn’t just cosmetic — the etched pattern reduces glare in bright sun and gives you a unique look that stands out at the range or in the field.
- Fiber-Optic Front Sight — WHY IT MATTERS: Fast target acquisition in low light or against dark backgrounds — no batteries, no electronics, just instant contrast.
- Tang Safety — WHY IT MATTERS: Ambidextrous and easy to reach with your thumb, the tang safety lets you engage or disengage without breaking your cheek weld or shifting your grip.
- 5 Internal Choke Tubes Included — WHY IT MATTERS: From tight patterns for long-range waterfowl to open spreads for upland birds, you get versatility right out of the box — no extra purchase needed.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is for the tech-forward shooter who wants a lightweight, modern O/U without the premium price tag. Whether you’re a weekend clay buster, a dove field regular, or a first-time O/U buyer looking to step up from a pump, the Acrius delivers. It also appeals to early adopters who appreciate laser etching and fiber optics on a traditional platform.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Chrome-lined barrel for durability and easy cleaning — a feature usually found on shotguns costing twice as much.
- Pro: Sub-7-pound weight makes it easy to carry all day in the field.
- Con: The fixed walnut stock and forend are not adjustable for cast or drop — if you need a custom fit, budget for a gunsmith visit.

FAQ
What choke tubes come with the Pointer Acrius?
It ships with five internal flush-mount choke tubes: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Skeet. That covers everything from waterfowl to close-range upland.
Is the stock on the Acrius adjustable for cast or drop?
No, the Turkish walnut stock is fixed. If you need a custom fit, a gunsmith can modify it, but out of the box it’s a standard field configuration.
Does the Pointer Acrius have interchangeable barrels?
No, the barrels are fixed to the receiver. It’s not designed for quick barrel swaps — the 28-inch length is a compromise between field carry and range use.
What is the chamber length on the 28 Gauge Acrius?
It accepts 2.75-inch shells only. Do not use 3-inch or 3.5-inch shells — they won’t chamber safely.
