Escort Magnum

About the Escort Magnum

The Escort Magnum is a gas-operated, semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun built by Hatsan Arms Company of Turkey and marketed worldwide under the Escort brand, including by Legacy Sports International in the United States. Chambered for both 2.75 and 3 inch magnum shells, it uses a self-regulating gas-piston system that cycles loads from light 7/8 oz target rounds up to 2 oz magnum loads. The Magnum series is offered with a 28 inch ventilated-rib chromoly steel barrel, a five-tube interchangeable choke set, an adjustable Turkish walnut stock, and a fiber-optic front sight, making it a value-priced field and clay-shooting gun.

Hatsan, founded in 1976, grew from an airgun maker into Turkey's best-known shotgun manufacturer; the Escort line earned a reputation as an affordable, reliable semi-automatic alternative to far costlier European field guns.
