Description

There is something to be said for a working shotgun that still looks good leaning in the corner of a duck camp. The Escort WS from Hatsan pairs a checkered Turkish walnut stock and forend with a black anodized aircraft alloy receiver, giving you traditional field gun looks on a pump gun built to get dirty. Chambered in 20 gauge with a 3 inch chamber, it runs both 2-3/4 and 3 inch shells, so the same gun handles light target loads on Saturday and magnum steel loads when the birds are flying.

A 28 Inch Barrel Built for Bird Season

The 28 inch barrel wears a ventilated, checkered anti-glare rib with a metal bead up front, the kind of setup that swings smooth on crossing birds and points naturally in the field. The bore is chrome plated over chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel, which shrugs off moisture and cuts down on cleaning headaches after wet mornings in the marsh. It is also rated for steel shot through the included multi-choke system, and Hatsan packs in five chokes: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder. That is a legitimately versatile spread, covering tight turkey and pass-shooting patterns down to open constrictions for quail and close flushes.

Escort WS Fit and Handling

Fit is where this pump gun surprises people. Four stock shims let you adjust drop and cast, and three spacers extend the length of pull, so you can tune the gun to your build instead of adapting to it. A rubber butt pad soaks up recoil, though 20 gauge is already easy on the shoulder, which makes this a solid pick for newer wingshooters and smaller-framed hunters. The long forend gives you plenty to grab for fast, short pump strokes, and sling studs come mounted for long walks to the blind.

Practical Touches on the Escort WS 20 Gauge

The tube magazine holds 4+1, and a migratory plug is included to bring capacity down to 2+1 for waterfowl. The receiver has an 11mm groove machined in, so adding an optic for turkey duty is straightforward. A cross-button safety sits right where your trigger finger expects it. All in, it is a lot of well-thought-out shotgun for a field gun.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Escort WS 20 gauge shoot steel shot for waterfowl?

Yes. The multi-choke system is rated for steel shot, and the gun ships with a migratory plug that drops capacity to 2+1 for duck and goose hunting. With the 3 inch chamber handling magnum steel loads, it is well set up for the waterfowl blind.

What chokes come with the Escort WS?

It includes five choke tubes: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder. That range covers most upland, waterfowl, turkey, and clay target situations right out of the box, so you likely won't need to buy additional chokes to get started.

Can I adjust the stock fit on this shotgun?

Yes, and that's one of its better features at this price point. Four included shims let you adjust drop and cast, and three spacers can extend the length of pull. Between those and the rubber recoil pad, most folks can dial in a comfortable, consistent mount.

Can I mount an optic on the Escort WS?

The black anodized alloy receiver has an 11mm groove machined into the top, so it accepts 11mm dovetail-style mounts. That makes it easy to add a red dot or low-power optic for turkey season, while the metal bead and vent rib handle everything else.
