Description
Spring gobbler season rewards a gun you can carry all morning and swing fast when a tom hangs up at 30 yards. That's the whole idea behind the Escort PS Turkey. At right around 6.2 pounds with a 22 inch barrel and 42 inch overall length, this 20 gauge semi-auto is easy to tote through the timber and quick to shoulder from a seated position against a tree. The 3 inch chamber handles stout turkey loads, and Escort's gas-driven SMART Valve piston system takes the sting out of them while cycling reliably shot after shot with the 4+1 capacity on tap.
Sighting Options on the Escort PS Turkey
Turkey hunting is an aiming game more than a pointing game, and this gun is set up for it. 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 your point of impact to your pattern. If you'd rather run a red dot, the receiver wears a cantilevered 5 inch Weaver rail, so mounting an optic takes minutes instead of a trip to the gunsmith. Three chokes come in the box, Full, Improved Modified, and an Extended Turkey tube, letting you tighten things up for long beards or open the pattern for other field duty in the off season.
Built for Wet Mornings in the Bottomland
The whole gun, from the aircraft alloy receiver to the synthetic stock, is dipped in Mossy Oak Bottomland, a pattern that disappears into early spring hardwoods about as well as anything out there. The barrel is chrome plated to shrug off rust from dew-soaked mornings, and the synthetic furniture won't swell or crack like wood. Checkered grip surfaces keep your hands planted when things get damp, a rubber butt pad softens recoil, and sling studs come standard. Included stock shims let you adjust drop and cast for a proper fit, which matters more than most folks realize when you're shooting from awkward positions. A magazine plug is also included for migratory bird use. Add it all up and you have a dedicated turkey rig that punches well above its weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a red dot on the Escort PS Turkey?
Yes. The receiver comes with a cantilevered 5 inch Weaver optic rail built in, so most micro red dots and shotgun scopes bolt right on with Weaver-style rings or mounts. The rear fiber optic sight is integrated into the rail, so you still have usable irons if you take the optic off.
Does the Escort PS Turkey come with a turkey choke?
It does. This model ships with three choke tubes: Full, Improved Modified, and an Extended Turkey choke. That means you can head to the pattern board right out of the box without buying an aftermarket tube, and the Full and IM tubes give you options beyond turkey season.
How much recoil does this 20 gauge have with turkey loads?
Between the gas-operated action and the rubber butt pad, felt recoil is noticeably softer than a break action or pump 20 gauge shooting the same shell. Stout 3 inch turkey loads still have some push in a 6.2 pound gun, but the gas system soaks up a good chunk of it. Most hunters find it very manageable, which makes it a solid pick for smaller-framed folks too.
Can the stock be adjusted for fit?
Yes, the PS Turkey includes shims that let you adjust the stock's drop and cast to match your build and shooting style. Combined with the 14.2 inch length of pull, that helps you get a consistent cheek weld, which pays off when you're aiming tight patterns at a gobbler's head. It's a feature you don't always see at this price point.
