The Hatsan Escort WS delivers reliable pump-action performance with premium Turkish walnut furniture and advanced aluminum receiver construction. This full-size 12-gauge platform handles 3-inch magnum shells while maintaining smooth cycling and consistent ejection patterns.
What Makes This Different
The grooved aluminum receiver provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional steel receivers, reducing overall firearm weight by approximately 12 ounces. The black chrome-lined ventilated rib barrel resists corrosion while dissipating heat during extended shooting sessions. Turkish walnut stock features length-of-pull adjustment from 13.5 to 14.5 inches, accommodating shooters of varying statures without aftermarket modifications.
Key Features
- 28-inch black chrome ventilated rib barrel with 3-inch chamber capability
- Black anodized grooved aluminum receiver for reduced weight and enhanced durability
- Adjustable Turkish walnut stock with length-of-pull customization
- 4+1 shell capacity with reliable dual-action bars for smooth cycling
- Interchangeable choke tube system accepts standard Invector-style tubes
- Front bead sight with ventilated rib for consistent sight picture
- Cross-bolt safety positioned behind trigger guard for ambidextrous operation
Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling with loads ranging from 2.75-inch target shells to 3-inch magnum waterfowl rounds. The extended barrel length provides improved swing dynamics for clay sports and upland hunting applications. Weather-sealed action components maintain functionality in adverse conditions, while the hard-anodized finish resists scratches and wear from field use.
