Hatsan Escort MP shotgun????

it looks like a Turkish shotgun that American Rifleman did a review on a few months back..seemed to function well enough. For that price though...I dunno, I'd be more inclined to stick with a Mossy or Remington.

The Turks have a history of building fine shotguns though.

I looked at one before. It has a spring assist for the pump action. Nifty idea. But for the price I too would probably just stick with an American Mossy or Remmy.

This thread didn't last very long...I've been kinda considering one of these also.
I already have a Remington...just have some free space in my gun cabinet.

actually this one doesnt. you are thinking of the tristar that academy has and looks alot like this. this escort feels a bit more sturdy.

Ah, okay. Yes you are correct on where I saw it.

My only problem with it is parts availability. 870's and 500's have a vast amount of options available. They can be multi use shotguns. And just about every gun ownwer in America who owns shotguns probably has one of the 2 if not both in their collection.

That's a beautiful weapon imo and to be honest it seems to have everything one might need so not really alot to have to add to it although looks like it might not take a side saddle. + 1 bud nice find. As for the price the cheapest find for a Mossberg here is $279 and for an 870 it's $319 both the basic 18 1/2 inch full stock no frills variety. To have all that stuff on it for $289 is a good deal at least here. I paid $199 for my clone with only the GRs on it otherwise no frills and a Maverick here runs $230 to give you an idea of the beater prices. Did you try and google it?

Wow- never heard of it, but looks really nice!!! Great features for the price!

I know this thread is a little old, but I'm seeing more of these ESCORTS on the market.

I found one of these at my LGS, I may get one, it feels more comfortable (to me) than MOSSBERG OR REMINGTON....and it definitely felt "sturdier" and more substantial than the top 2.

Made in TURKEY, but excellent reviews by owners! You really can't say MOSSBERG AND REMINGTON (especially recent models) are trouble free......

Shop owner said he bought one 6 months ago, fired at least 600 rounds thru it without a hiccup! I'm seriously thinking about this one, and it LOOKS AWESOME!

I called the 2 ACADEMY STORES locally, they have none and can't keep them in stock!
I'd JUMP on that one if I were you!

They are a very good piece, I bought one 8 months ago and have never had any issues. Fires anything up to 3" fine ( buck, solids, steel) as its a fixed cylindrical choke. Highly recommended buy for a cheaper alternative with weaver/ picatinny.

My dealer informed Me that most Remington 870 parts are compatible with the escort.I haven't really checked into that yet

I have Shot one for over 5,000 rounds, slugs and 00Buck. love the gun, have a Burris "FastFire 111" sight with a 8" moa. 2 shell mag ext. leather 5 shot butt and a shooter's friend recoil pad. Love the gun. I shoot Rio Star low recoil slugs, B&P Target slugs, Federal 132, Federal 133 and Ficchi low recoil 00Buck.

I have an Escort Marine Guard pump shotgun. Due to winter weather, I have only fired about 20 rounds so far. I think the quality is fine.
