If there’s a hunter on your Christmas shopping list, then look no further than Hatsan’s Escort AS, offering 12- and 20-gauge models that are sure to garner attention this holiday season.
The Escort AS is gas-operated, semi-automatic, and chambered in a 3-inch magnum. An eye-pleasing Turkish walnut stock and a 28-inch, oxidation-resistant, chrome-plated barrel also come standard on both guns. Like other Escort series shotguns, AS models include Hatsan’s FAST Loading System,enabling faster and easier loading with one hand without the need to change shooting positions. The loading switch acts as both a carrier latch release for loading and the bolt release when the bolt is locked back. Each gun also incorporates a Smart Valve Piston that will flawlessly cycle ⅞-ounce to 2-ounce magnum loads in 2 ¾-inch and 3-inch magnum rounds. This patented design is so user-friendly that hunters can mix heavy and light loads in the same magazine without a hiccup.
Each shotgun has a rubber buttpad for excellent recoil absorption, with spacers to extend the length of pull and stock shims that allow for generous adjustment of drop and cast for a better fit. An anodized aircraft alloy receiver with an 11-mm groove for optics mounts, 7-mm checkered and ventilated anti-glare rib, manual cross-button trigger safety, and brass bead sight all say the Escort AS is built on quality. Included are five chokes (F, IM, M, IC, CYL) and a 4+1 magazine capacity.
Whether you choose the 12- or 20-gauge, both make an excellent Christmas gift that will give hunters years of joy and success in the field.
