The Hatsan Escort Optima D12 (Escatech part no. HEOD12280502) is a 12 gauge over/under shotgun built for the field and the clays course alike. Its Turkish walnut stock and fore-end carry a matte, kiln-dried finish for a stable grip in any weather, while chrome-lined barrels and a white chrome receiver resist corrosion through years of hard use. A single selective gold-plated trigger lets you choose barrels on the fly, and the extractor system keeps cycling simple and reliable. It’s a straightforward, well-built O/U for hunters who want proven boxlock mechanics without extra complexity.
