The Hatsan Escort PS 20 Gauge Shotgun (brand part no. HEPS20280501) is a gas-operated semi-auto from Escort built for hunters and sporting shooters who want dependable cycling without a heavy price tag. A 28-inch barrel and 3-inch magnum chamber let it handle everything from light target loads to heavy waterfowl loads, while the SMART Valve Piston gas system self-regulates to cycle both 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch shells without any adjustment from the shooter. The black synthetic stock and checkered fore-end keep the gun light and weather-resistant, and a rubber recoil pad takes the edge off repeated shooting. It is a straightforward, field-ready 20 gauge for anyone who wants Escort’s proven action in a lighter-shooting gauge.
