The Escort HEPS202805M5 PS delivers reliable semi-automatic performance in a lightweight 20-gauge platform designed for waterfowl hunting. This full-size shotgun combines Turkish manufacturing precision with advanced camouflage patterns and adjustable ergonomics for extended field use.
What Makes This Different
The grooved aluminum receiver construction reduces overall weight by 15% compared to traditional steel receivers while maintaining structural integrity under high-pressure 3-inch loads. The ventilated rib barrel design promotes faster heat dissipation during rapid-fire sequences, and the Realtree Max-5 pattern provides superior concealment in marsh and wetland environments. Most competing 20-gauge semi-autos in this price range use heavier steel construction without adjustable stock features.
Key Features
- 20-gauge semi-automatic action with 3-inch chamber capability
- 4+1 capacity with reliable cycling of 2¾" and 3" shells
- 28-inch ventilated rib barrel optimized for waterfowl loads
- Grooved aluminum receiver reduces weight and improves balance
- Adjustable Realtree Max-5 synthetic stock accommodates different shooting positions
- Complete Realtree Max-5 camouflage finish on barrel, receiver, and stock
- Chrome-lined barrel for corrosion resistance in wet conditions
Field performance centers on consistent cycling with various load weights from light target rounds to heavy waterfowl magnums. The 28-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity for long-range shots on ducks and geese while maintaining swing characteristics suitable for pass shooting. The synthetic stock material resists moisture absorption and temperature changes that affect wood stocks during extended hunts.
