Pointer FT61228HT 3" 2-Round Walnut Stock Shotgun

The Pointer FT61228HT Side By Side 12 Gauge is a classic double-barrel shotgun purpose-built for upland hunting, sport shooting, and home defense applications where a reliable, intuitive platform matters. Designed for shooters who value traditional ergonomics and proven mechanics over modern tactical features, this side-by-side configuration delivers the split-sight picture and instant trigger access that field hunters and clay competitors have trusted for generations. The 28-inch barrel length balances handling speed with velocity retention, making this shotgun equally effective in brush or at the range.

This shotgun is constructed with a color case-hardened receiver paired to blued barrels, a finish combination that provides rust resistance while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of a working firearm. The fixed walnut stock absorbs recoil through traditional wood-to-steel contact, distributing impulse across the shooter's shoulder naturally—critical for all-day hunting sessions or competitive shoots where fatigue matters. At 10.63 pounds, the gun carries comfortably in the field without sacrificing the inertia needed for clean target breaks. The bead sight front reference ensures rapid point-of-aim acquisition, while the included set of five interchangeable chokes allows quick tuning for shot pattern density—from tight full choke at distance to open improved cylinder in dense cover.

Hunters pursuing upland game, clay competitors, and home defenders benefit from the Pointer FT61228HT's straightforward operation and low maintenance footprint. The 3-inch chamber accepts both 2.75-inch and 3-inch 12-gauge ammunition, providing flexibility for various hunting scenarios and ballistic loads. Side-by-side ejectors simplify reload cycles—fired shells are kicked clear automatically—allowing faster recovery between shots in fast-paced hunting or sport situations. This shotgun requires no special tools or gunsmithing; choke swaps take seconds, and field stripping for routine cleaning follows standard double-barrel protocols any experienced shotgunner already knows.
