The Hatsan Escort Optima D12 (Escatech part no. HEOD12280501) is a 12 gauge over/under shotgun built for hunters and clay shooters who want fast reloads in the field. Its Turkish walnut stock and fore-end wear a matte, kiln-dried finish for a stable grip, while chrome-lined barrels and a white chrome receiver stand up to years of weather and handling. A single selective gold-plated trigger lets you pick barrels instantly, and automatic ejectors throw spent hulls clear the moment the action opens. It’s a dependable, traditionally built O/U for shooters who value speed between shots.
