Pointer Acrius Field .410 Over/Under Walnut
About this product
The Pointer Acrius Field .410 Over/Under Walnut is a field-ready over/under shotgun chambered in .410 Bore that combines traditional Turkish walnut styling with functional chrome-lined barrels for small game and sporting applications. This 6.8-pound shotgun comes with five internal choke tubes and features a ventilated rib with fiber-optic front sight, making it suitable for shooters who value classic aesthetics with modern corrosion resistance. At 468.99 dollars, it occupies a specific niche between budget Turkish imports and premium American-made over/unders.
What is the Pointer Acrius Field .410 Over/Under used for?
This shotgun is primarily designed for small game hunting and upland bird shooting where the .410's light recoil and minimal pellet count are advantageous. The included five choke tubes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, Full, Improved Modified, and Cylinder) allow pattern tuning from 20-yard squirrel shots to 30-yard rabbit hunting. The 28-inch barrels with ventilated rib also make it serviceable for casual clay shooting, though the two-round capacity limits competitive use.
How does the Pointer Acrius Field compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U Shotgun .410 Bore?
The Acrius Field is 468.99 dollars versus the Stevens 555's 650-dollar price point, making it 28% cheaper while offering similar core features. The Stevens 555 has a more refined action with mechanical triggers and better wood-to-metal fit, but the Acrius matches it in barrel chrome-lining and includes the same five choke tubes. For budget-conscious hunters who prioritize corrosion resistance over slick operation, the Acrius represents better value per dollar.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Acrius Field weighs 6.8 pounds (108.9 oz) and measures 45 inches overall with 28-inch barrels. The length of pull is 14.5 inches with a 1.5-inch drop at comb, fitting average adult shooters comfortably. The 0.725-inch minimum bore diameter (standard for .410) keeps the overall profile slim compared to 12-gauge counterparts like the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun is not for waterfowl hunters requiring three-inch steel shot or competitive shooters needing rapid follow-up shots. The .410's limited payload struggles with ducks beyond 25 yards, and the manual safety requires thumb movement between shots. Serious clay competitors should consider the higher-capacity Stevens 555 Sporting .410 with its optimized balance for sustained shooting.
What's in the box?
The package includes the shotgun, five internal choke tubes (IC, M, F, IM, C), a choke tube key, and owner's manual. The chokes are constructed from heat-treated steel and threaded for standard .410 tubes, allowing aftermarket compatibility. Notably absent are choke tube pouches or a hard case—expect cardboard and foam packaging typical of sub-500-dollar firearms.
Is the Pointer Acrius Field worth it at $468.99?
At 468.99 dollars, the Acrius Field delivers measurable value for hunters needing a corrosion-resistant .410 with classic aesthetics. The chrome-lined barrels add 50 dollars of value over plain steel, and the Turkish walnut stock is 75 dollars superior to laminate alternatives. Compared to 300-dollar single-shots, the over/under action justifies the premium for anyone shooting more than five shells per outing.

Frequently asked questions
- Does this work with 2.5-inch .410 shells?
- Yes, the Acrius Field chambers both 2.5-inch and 3-inch .410 shells without modification. The 3-inch chamber length accommodates shorter shells safely, though pattern density decreases with 2.5-inch loads by approximately 15% compared to 3-inch equivalents. Always check local regulations for shell length restrictions on public land.
- Is it compatible with aftermarket choke tubes?
- The shotgun uses standard .410 internal choke threads compatible with brands like Carlson's and Briley. The factory tubes are steel construction with a 0.725-inch bore diameter—identical to most aftermarket options. Replacement tubes typically cost 25-40 dollars each from major manufacturers.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments to Montana typically take 7-10 business days through Ironclad Armory's standard carrier. Expedited 3-day shipping is available for an additional 35 dollars, but FFL verification adds 24-48 hours to processing. All firearms ship within 2 business days of cleared payment.
- Can I return it if the stock doesn't fit?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for manufacturing defects but not for fit issues. The 14.5-inch length of pull suits most adult shooters between 5'8" and 6'2". For custom fitting, a gunsmith can shorten the stock for 75-125 dollars or add a recoil pad spacer.
