Turkey season has a way of turning good gear into a requirement. When a gobbler stalls just outside your comfort range or materializes in the brush with no warning, the shotgun has to pattern well, handle quickly, and run without drama.
Akkar USA’s Sharp Spur Turkey Series and Back Country Magnum are aimed squarely at that reality. One is a straightforward pump for hunters who like simple controls and repeatable function. The other is a magnum-capable over/under that adds weather-resistant finishing, choke flexibility, and optics-mounting capability.

The Sharp Spur Turkey Series reads like a practical answer to the “one gun for the blind” problem: a 24-inch barrel for quicker handling in tight cover, plus a camo finish intended to disappear into spring woods. Akkar also leans into gauge variety here, giving hunters a path from lighter-recoiling sub-gauges to a 12-gauge platform that accepts 3 ½-inch shells.
The Back Country Magnum is clearly positioned as the more feature-heavy option, built around a 12-gauge, 3 ½-inch chamber and an over/under layout. The included extended chokes suggest Akkar expects owners to tune patterns to specific loads and distances rather than treating it like a one-choke-fits-all turkey gun. Details like convertible ejectors/extractors and an automatic safety that reengages with the top lever are practical touches for field handling, especially when moving in and out of blinds or dealing with uneven terrain.

With the Sharp Spur Turkey Series, Akkar USA is offering a straightforward pump built around maneuverability and broad gauge choice. The Back Country Magnum adds magnum authority in an over/under format, plus weather protection and optics-ready capability—two different approaches to the same end goal: putting a tight pattern where it needs to be when the moment finally shows up.
