Key Features
- Cerakote Midnight Bronze Finish — Adds corrosion resistance and a low-glare signature that blends into marsh and field environments. The bronze hue also resists scratching better than blued steel.
- Realtree MAX-5 Camo Stock & Fore-End — Matches heavy cover and cattail sloughs where ducks and pheasants hide. The synthetic material sheds moisture and mud without swelling.
- Extended Choke Set — Lets you swap between IC, Mod, and Full patterns on the fly. Per Pointer specs, these chokes improve pattern consistency for steel or lead shot.
- Fiber Optic Front Sight — Bright acquisition in low light, giving you a crisp aiming point during early morning or late evening shoots.
- 28-Inch Barrel Balance — Splits the difference between a 26-in. swing speed and a 30-in. reach. It tracks fast on crossing birds while keeping the muzzle steady on clays.
Who It’s For
This shotgun fits the tech-forward hunter who wants modern finishes and camo without paying boutique prices. It’s for the early adopter who appreciates Cerakote durability on a sub-$600 over-under, and for the shooter who needs one gun to handle upland, waterfowl, and sporting clays. If you’re the type who reads forums about barrel coatings and choke tube performance, this is your lane.

FAQ
What chokes come with the Pointer Acrius Field?
It includes a set of extended chokes: Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full. These are steel-shot rated per manufacturer specs.
Can I shoot 3-inch shells in this shotgun?
Yes, the chamber is 3 inches, so you can run 2¾ or 3-inch shells for waterfowl or turkey loads.
Is the Cerakote finish durable enough for saltwater marsh hunting?
Cerakote Midnight Bronze is more corrosion-resistant than blued steel, and the synthetic stock won’t swell. Rinse with fresh water after salt exposure and it’ll hold up fine.
Does the fiber optic front sight require batteries?
No, it’s a passive fiber optic rod that gathers ambient light. No batteries needed.
How does the Acrius compare to a Browning Citori?
The Browning Citori is a premium O/U with a smoother action and better trigger, but it costs 3-4x more. The Acrius delivers 80% of the function at a fraction of the price for hunters who prioritize finish and camo over fitment.
