Description
There's something about a side-by-side that an over-under just can't replicate, and the Pointer FT6 nails that old hardware store double gun feel without the vintage price tag. The color case hardened receiver gives it real character, the kind of swirled finish you usually see on guns costing a whole lot more, and it pairs nicely with the 28-inch blued barrels and checkered Turkish walnut stock and forend. Set it in the rack next to guns twice its price and it holds its own on looks alone.
What the Pointer FT6 Brings to the Field
This is a working gun underneath the classic styling. You get 3-inch chambers, a single crisp trigger with a barrel selector, extractors for easy unloading, a tang-mounted safety, and a metal bead front sight. The five included choke tubes are the big one here. Plenty of doubles in this class come with fixed chokes, so having a full set to swap between lets you set the gun up for tight-flushing quail one weekend and a round of sporting clays the next. At around 7.5 pounds, it carries comfortably through a long day of walking field edges and swings smoothly when a rooster gets up in your face.
A Classic Double Without the Heirloom Price
Imported by Legacy Sports International, the FT6 fills a spot that's gotten harder to find: a traditional-looking side-by-side you can hunt hard without babying it. It's earned comparisons to the dependable doubles that put birds on the table for generations, and that's exactly the point. If you've always wanted a proper twin-barrel gun for pheasants, doves, or busting clays with friends, this one gets you there with modern conveniences like screw-in chokes and a single trigger. It also makes a great first double for anyone who grew up on pumps and autoloaders and wants to see what the side-by-side fuss is all about.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Pointer FT6 have a single trigger or double triggers?
The FT6 uses a single crisp trigger with a barrel selector, so you can choose which barrel fires first. That's a nice modern touch on a traditionally styled gun, and it keeps the learning curve short if you're coming from a pump or semi-auto.
What choke tubes come with the Pointer FT6?
It ships with five screw-in choke tubes covering the standard constrictions from open to full. That flexibility lets you tune the gun for close-flushing upland birds, longer passing shots, or a casual round of clays without buying anything extra.
Can the FT6 shoot 3-inch shells?
Yes, both barrels are chambered for 3-inch 12 gauge shells, and it handles 2.75-inch loads just as well. For most upland hunting and clay shooting, standard 2.75-inch target and field loads are all you'll need, and they're more pleasant to shoot in a fixed-breech double.
Does the Pointer FT6 have ejectors or extractors?
The FT6 uses extractors, which lift the spent hulls up out of the chambers so you can pluck them out by hand. A lot of hunters prefer extractors since your empties never end up in the grass, and it's one less mechanical system to fuss with over the life of the gun.
