Description
The Akkar 206 Back Country 12 gauge is what happens when someone designs an over/under specifically for spring turkey season. Catalogued as part number 111004, it wears green Cerakote over every metal surface, Mossy Oak Obsession camo on the polymer furniture, a 1913 Picatinny rail for optics and a 3.5-inch chamber for the heaviest turkey loads on the shelf.
A Turkey Gun in Over/Under Form
Turkey hunting is not like other shotgunning. You sit still for hours in damp leaves, you may only get one shot, and you need the pattern to land exactly where the bead says it will at forty yards. A break action suits that better than most people expect: it is silent to close, obvious to check, and two independently choked barrels let you keep a tight turkey tube on one side and something more open on the other for a bird that flushes close.
1913 Picatinny Rail for Optics
The rail is the feature that makes this gun. A red dot on a turkey shotgun turns a difficult head-and-neck shot into an easy one, and mounting it here requires no gunsmithing and no drilling. That single addition puts the Akkar 206 Back Country 12 gauge ahead of most traditional doubles for this specific job.
3.5-Inch Chamber, 28-Inch Barrels and Five Chokes
A 3.5-inch chamber accepts the heaviest turkey payloads produced, including tungsten-based loads that have changed what a 12 gauge can do at distance. The barrels measure 28 inches, giving a clean sight line without excessive bulk, and overall length is about 45 inches. Five extended choke tubes ship with the gun, including a full tube alongside skeet, improved cylinder, modified and improved modified constrictions.
Green Cerakote, Obsession Camo and Sling Studs
Every metal component wears a green Cerakote finish that resists corrosion and kills glare, while the polymer stock and forend are coated in Mossy Oak Obsession, a pattern built for spring green-up. Sling studs come fitted from the factory, which matters when you are hiking to a roost before dawn with a vest, decoys and a call bag. An automatic safety re-engages every time the action opens.

Who Should Buy It
This is aimed at turkey hunters who want an optic-ready gun that will not rust in wet spring weather, at predator hunters who appreciate camo and a rail, and at anyone who likes the simplicity and safety visibility of a break action in the woods.
Consider the drawbacks honestly. Two rounds is genuinely limiting if a second bird presents itself, and reloading a break action from a seated position against a tree is slow. Full 3.5-inch turkey loads in a break gun kick hard enough to be unpleasant on the bench, so pattern carefully and stop before you develop a flinch. The camo polymer furniture is functional rather than attractive, and the specialised configuration makes this a poor clays or general upland gun.
For spring turkey season specifically, the Akkar 206 Back Country 12 gauge is a thoughtful package. Browse more options in our firearms collection, or read the maker’s overview at Akkar USA.
