Hatsan Escort 20 Gauge Turkey 24" Pump-Action Shotgun

The Hatsan Escort 20 Gauge Turkey 24" Pump-Action Shotgun is a dedicated turkey gun built on the proven Escort platform, scaled down to the milder recoil of 20-gauge for hunters who want serious knockdown power without the shoulder punishment. This 20 ga pump shotgun handles both 2¾" and 3" magnum shells from the same gun, giving you flexibility in load selection depending on distance and conditions. The 24" barrel is purpose-built for turkey hunting—long enough to deliver tight, consistent patterns at typical gobbler distances, but short enough to handle in thick brush and from a blind.

Built for reliability in the field, the Escort features an oxidation-proof chrome-plated steel barrel that stands up to moisture and repeated cleaning. The receiver is durable alloy, and every barrel ships proof-tested from the factory to confirm it will perform safely and consistently. The pump action is smooth and fast, with the safety conveniently located as a cross-button in front of the trigger guard—easy to manipulate even with gloved hands. Textured grip surfaces give you confidence in your control when you're settled in a blind or moving quietly through the woods.

The 20 ga turkey setup comes sighted and ready: a cantilever Weaver rail with built-in fiber optic rear sight mounts on top for optics, while a bright fiber optic front sight is pre-installed. Two chokes are included—a Modified and an Extended Turkey—so you can dial in the tightest, most predictable pattern for your distance and load. Stock shims let you fine-tune drop and cast for a comfortable fit. Magazine capacity is 4+1 (or 2+1 with a migratory plug installed), and sling studs are mounted to accept your favorite carry system.

If you hunt turkeys and prefer the lower recoil, faster shooting, and easier gun handling of 20 gauge, the Escort 20 ga turkey gun delivers proven reliability and practical features without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot 2¾" shells in this 20-gauge turkey gun?

Yes. The Escort 20 Gauge handles both 2¾" and 3" magnum shells in the same chamber, so you can choose lighter loads for shorter distances and reserve the heavier magnums for longer shots.

What chokes come with the turkey shotgun?

The gun ships with a Modified choke and an Extended Turkey choke. The combination lets you pattern your loads to find the tightest, most reliable spread for your typical shooting distance.

Is the barrel easy to keep clean and rust-free?

The barrel is chrome-plated steel, which provides oxidation resistance and makes it much easier to maintain than blued steel—important when you're hunting in wet conditions or frequent rain.

Can I mount an optic or red dot on this shotgun?

Yes. The gun has a cantilever Weaver rail with 22mm standard spacing, so you can mount most optics, red dots, or magnified scopes. It also includes a built-in fiber optic rear sight as a backup.
