Pointer 1000 Field Over/under 12 Gauge Shotgun Reviews

The GPS said my dog was 300 yards downward a boulder-strewn gully. I stumbled over rocks and sage, and ten disturbing minutes after found the young wirehair staunch, one front leg raised. The chukar covey roared skyward, and I fabricated a go-to-hell shot down the hill at 50 yards.

I missed, merely not because of the Pointer shotgun I'd shouldered. It had been operation fine in the field and on the range and turning heads, too. But in this case, but a Star Trek transporter could have beamed me into range of those devil birds.

The miss gave break for reflection and a longer wait at that gun. Legacy Sports has an MVP in the entry-level over-under market with their Arrow Field Over/Nether. Information technology fills at least iv niches: an entry betoken for the "over-under curious," a starter for youth and women, and a small-gauge "fun" gun. For chukar hunters information technology could be their go-to shooter – a gun they can abuse without remorse.

I am not a gun geek, seeking applied performance over curb appeal. Fall off a cliff while carrying a Pointer and yous won't watch your life savings cleft and rattle down to the river. A stumble won't put a gouge in your banking company account, but the stock. Only no matter the cost, it'd improve hitting stuff. Among the lava cliffs, iv chukars fell that day, and at the range it goes "bang" every time I pull the trigger. Sometimes, clay targets even suspension.

My dog checked in after a long cast and brought 2 shorthairs and a human with him. Nosotros compared who-knows-who, and he admired the Pointer. He was toting a Beretta, and had a hard fourth dimension justifying his purchase versus mine: fit, finish, and particularly price. I agreed.

Carrying the Legacy Arrow Field in rough terrain is a no-worry situation.

Formerly the "Arista," Legacy is now calling their gun "Field Over/Under." Even the name is basic and functional. Not to say it isn't nice to look at, with a coin end receiver and floral machine engraving, plus fifty-fifty, fine automobile checkering. A sort-of Schnabel fore-finish might seem clunky until yous are holding on for dear life, shinnying down a scree-covered slope.

Through the gauges, at that place is little divergence simply front-end weight, easily dialed in at the range. The 28-inch barrels (fifty-fifty on the 28 gauge and .410) also mitigate the lighter gauges' whippiness, fifty-fifty at skeet stations iii-six. For an instinctive shooter like me, mounting with the soft safety butt pad hinders the slide out of the "ready" position a fleck, compared to wood or hard plastic. The top is hard plastic and rounded, helping a bit.

What jewelers call "brushed" finish, floral auto engraving on the receiver of the Legacy Pointer Field.

At the range, squad mates are often incredulous after a shut look at my Pointers. It's not due to my target-breaking ability, but considering the fit and cease belie the Pointer's price. On the design lath my guns' elevation barrels shot about 60/40 at 30 yards, bottom barrels shot about 50/50. Unsurprisingly, the guns are a bit stiff out of the box. Shoot a couple hundred rounds through them and that goes abroad. A thorough cleaning helps. Getting used to little-to-no cast off (for a rightie) wasn't and so tough.

Scout my TV show and you'll surmise I am the incorrect guy to review a shotgun. I miss with high-dollar guns every bit well as the economy models like the Pointer. Only I feel much less remorse when I make clean my Arrow and find a barbed-wire scratch on the barrel. And the game bag is merely as heavy every bit it is with the braggiń gun.

The Legacy Pointer Field over/nether.

Turkish shotguns have come a long way in the few decades they've been a force in the U.S. Discerning buyers are demanding – and getting – much higher quality in aesthetics and performance and Pointer is the poster boy for this evolving ethic. Tolerances are tight, stop and fit rival Italian guns. A three-year warranty walks the Legacy talk. Brescia may lead the pack in Italian design flair but in virtually other criteria, you'd be well-served taking a shut wait at Legacy's Pointer Field Over/Under.

As the sun dropped below the craggy ridge, nosotros chased chukars around a rocky promontory and downwards the river breaks. Nosotros admired a betoken and stellar back, then got revenge on the running bastards. Served the next dark grilled hot and topped with wild blackberry compote, information technology was a sugariness finale … cheers in part to my Pointer. After all, savoir faire does not impale birds, functionality does.
