Reliable Gas Operation: ESCORT’s proven self-regulating gas system is engineered for clean cycling and reduced felt recoil across a wide range of loads.
Durable, Low-Glare Finish: The weather-resistant black exterior resists scuffs and glare in the marsh, the timber, or dusty uplands.
Notes: Choke system, sight type, and included accessories can vary by lot. See “What’s Included” below and verify current specs before purchase.

Fit & Shim (if included): Use stock shim kit to fine-tune drop/cast for a natural POA/POI—especially valuable for left-handers.
Care & Maintenance
Post-Hunt Routine: Wipe down exterior, remove barrel, and clean the gas system and piston per the manual; lightly lube moving parts.
Choke Tube Care: Remove, clean, and apply a thin coat of choke tube grease to prevent seizing—especially after waterfowl hunts.
Seasonal Checks: Inspect recoil pad and action screws; verify all fasteners and sling hardware before opening day.
