The Escort Field Hunter delivers reliable pump-action performance in a lightweight 20-gauge platform built for upland game and waterfowl hunting. This full-size shotgun handles 3-inch magnum shells with consistent cycling and features a ventilated rib barrel for improved heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
The Field Hunter's aluminum receiver reduces overall weight by 12 ounces compared to steel-framed competitors while maintaining structural integrity under magnum loads. The black chrome barrel finish provides superior corrosion resistance in wet hunting conditions, outlasting standard blued finishes by 300% in salt spray testing. The grooved receiver surface enhances grip security during rapid follow-up shots.
