Description
Turkey hunting with a 20 gauge makes a lot of sense. Lighter gun, softer recoil, and with today's turkey loads you're not giving up much on a longbeard inside 40 yards. The Escort Field Hunter Turkey leans into all of that with a 22-inch barrel that swings easy in tight timber or a cramped ground blind, a 3-inch chamber that runs both 2 3/4 and 3-inch shells, and full Mossy Oak Bottomland camo from muzzle to butt pad. At around 6.2 pounds and 42 inches overall, it carries well on those long walks chasing gobbles at first light.
Sights and Optics on the Field Hunter Turkey
This is where Escort put in work you don't usually see at this level. You get a windage-adjustable red fiber optic front sight paired with a windage and elevation-adjustable green fiber optic rear, so you can dial in your pattern with iron sights alone. Prefer a red dot? The cantilever 5-inch Weaver rail mounts to the barrel, which means your zero stays put even when the barrel and receiver flex under recoil. Turkey hunting is aiming, not wingshooting, and this setup treats it that way.
Built for the Spring Woods
The chrome-plated Ni-Cr-Mo steel barrel shrugs off rain, mud, and swampy mornings, while the aircraft alloy receiver keeps weight down without giving up durability. The synthetic stock and forend have checkered grip surfaces for control with wet or gloved hands, plus a rubber recoil pad and pre-installed sling studs. The extended forend is easy to reach and cycle from a seated position against a tree. A crossbolt safety sits right where your trigger finger expects it.
Pattern It Your Way
Three chokes come in the box: an extended turkey choke for tight patterns on head and neck shots, plus improved modified and full tubes that turn this into a legitimate all-around field gun once the season closes. With 4+1 capacity and Escort's reputation for cycling mixed loads without a hiccup, this pump gives serious turkey performance without the serious price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a red dot on the Escort Field Hunter Turkey?
Yes, and it's one of the best features on this gun. The 5-inch Weaver-style rail is cantilever mounted to the barrel, so your optic holds zero better than a receiver-mounted rail would. Most compact red dots and reflex sights designed for Weaver or Picatinny bases will bolt right on.
Does the Field Hunter Turkey handle 3-inch magnum turkey loads?
It does. The 3-inch chamber runs both 2 3/4 and 3-inch shells, and being a pump action, it cycles anything you feed it regardless of load power. You can even mix heavy turkey loads and lighter field loads in the same magazine without any issues.
What chokes come with this shotgun?
Three tubes ship in the box: an extended turkey choke, improved modified, and full. The extended turkey choke throws the dense patterns you want for head and neck shots on gobblers, while the IM and full tubes let you run this gun for upland birds, small game, or general field use the rest of the year.
Is a 20 gauge enough gun for turkey hunting?
Absolutely. Modern turkey loads, especially TSS shot, have made the 20 gauge a legitimate gobbler gun out to 40 yards and beyond. You get noticeably less recoil and a lighter gun to carry, which is why plenty of experienced turkey hunters have made the switch from 12 gauge.
