Key Features

28″ Chrome-Lined Barrels – Why it matters: Chrome lining resists corrosion and makes cleanup fast after a day in the field or rain. You get consistent patterns shot after shot.
Fiber-Optic Front Sight – Why it matters: That bright red dot pulls your eye to the target instantly. Perfect for beginners learning to mount and swing, and for aging eyes in low light.
Fixed Turkish Walnut Stock – Why it matters: The wood is dense and stable, soaking up recoil better than synthetic stocks. It gives the shotgun a classic look and a comfortable cheek weld for smaller frames.
Tang Safety & Extractor – Why it matters: The tang safety is easy to reach with either thumb, and extractors lift spent shells halfway for quick reloading. Simple, safe, and no fumbling.
Ambidextrous Handling – Why it matters: The straight grip and neutral cast let left- and right-handed shooters share the same gun. Great for teaching multiple family members without swapping stocks.

Who It’s For

This Pointer Acrius is built for families, youth shooters, and anyone stepping into over/under shotguns for the first time. The 28-gauge chambering means light recoil and plenty of pellets for doves, quail, or skeet. It’s also a smart choice for a smaller-framed shooter who wants a full-size gun without the weight of a 12 gauge.

Pros & Cons

Pro: Light weight (about 6.5 lbs) makes it easy to carry all day and swing smoothly.
Pro: Fiber-optic sight is a huge help for new shooters learning to aim.
Pro: Price point is hard to beat for a walnut-stocked over/under.
Con: Fixed choke (no screw-in chokes) limits versatility for different game or clay disciplines. You’ll want to pick your main use before buying.

According to Pointer specs, the Acrius is the lightest of the three, which helps younger shooters handle it without fatigue. The TriStar offers screw-in chokes for more versatility, but the Pointer’s lower price and classic looks make it a strong value for a dedicated field or range gun.

FAQ

What gauge and shell length does the Pointer Acrius use?

It is chambered for 28 gauge and accepts 2¾-inch shells. That’s the most common length for 28-gauge target and hunting loads.

Can I change the chokes?

No, the Pointer Acrius has fixed chokes. The 28″ barrels come with improved cylinder and modified chokes (per manufacturer specs), which work well for upland birds and skeet. If you need interchangeable chokes, look at the TriStar Trinity.

Is this shotgun suitable for left-handed shooters?

Yes. The tang safety and ambidextrous stock make it easy for lefties to use. The fiber-optic sight is centered, so it works from either shoulder.

Does it come with a case or any accessories?

No, the shotgun ships in a plain box with no case or choke tools. You’ll want to pick up a soft case for transport and storage.

How do I clean the chrome-lined barrels?

Standard shotgun cleaning rods and patches work fine. Chrome lining resists leading and fouling, so you don’t need harsh solvents. A light oil wipe after cleaning keeps it protected.
