Finding a first shotgun that fits a young hunter without beating them up at the bench is harder than it should be. The Escort PS Youth solves both problems at once. It runs a gas-operated action, which does a nice job of soaking up recoil compared to pumps and inertia guns, and the 20 gauge chambering keeps things manageable while still hitting plenty hard on doves, squirrels, rabbits, and turkeys. The stock comes with spacers to extend the length of pull and shims to tweak drop and cast, so the gun can grow along with the kid shouldering it.
Escort's SMART Valve Piston self-regulates gas pressure, so this gun cycles everything from light 7/8 ounce field loads up to heavy 3 inch magnums without adjustment, and you can even mix loads in the same magazine tube. The FAST Loading System is a genuinely handy touch for newer hands, letting you load with one hand since the loading switch doubles as carrier latch release and bolt release. The tube holds 4+1, drops to 2+1 with the included migratory plug for waterfowl, and a magazine cut-off lets you run it as a single loader for training sessions.
The chrome-lined barrel is built from nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel and proof tested at the factory, topped with a 7mm checkered anti-glare vent rib and a classic brass bead. Five flush chokes come in the box (Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder), and the barrel is rated for steel shot with the appropriate tubes, so duck season is on the table. At roughly 6 pounds with a 41 inch overall length, it swings fast and carries easy on long walks.
The synthetic stock and forend wear Realtree Timber camo with checkered grip surfaces, and the aircraft alloy receiver has an 11mm groove cut in if you ever want to add an optic for turkey duty. Sling studs are already mounted, the rubber TrioPad butt pad takes the sting out of a full day of shooting, and the cross-button safety sits right where a new shotgunner expects it. This is a whole lot of shotgun for a youth gun, and one that will stay useful long after that first season.
Yes, that is one of its stronger suits. The SMART Valve Piston self-adjusts gas pressure to run everything from 7/8 ounce field loads up to heavy 3 inch magnum shells. You can even load light and heavy shells in the tube at the same time and it will keep cycling.
Absolutely. The shorter length of pull works well for smaller-statured adults, not just kids, and the included spacers let you lengthen the stock if it feels cramped. At around 6 pounds with a 41 inch overall length, it is easy to carry and quick to shoulder for anyone.
Yes, the barrel and choke system are rated for steel shot with the appropriate choke tubes installed. The included migratory plug drops capacity to 2+1 for waterfowl hunting. Just stick with more open chokes when running steel, as is standard practice.
The anodized alloy receiver has an 11mm dovetail groove machined into the top, so you can add a compatible red dot or scope mount without drilling or tapping. That makes it a handy setup for turkey hunting. Out of the box it comes with a brass bead front sight on a ventilated anti-glare rib.
