Shootin ghte Escort 20 gauge slug gun

 

Legacy Sports International says their Escort 20-gauge pump slug gun is exceptionally dependable and accurate, capable of MOA accuracy shooting high-speed Hornady SST sabot loads. To test those claims, we mounted a Leupold VX-3 4.5-14x40mm scope to the built-in cantilever rail and then shot an assortment of slugs, in addition to the Hornady SST.

The pump action cycled the mix of 2-3/4- and 3-inch shells without a hitch, and the high-speed loads did, indeed, approach MOA accuracy. The trigger released consistently at 6 pounds pressure following a smooth pull.

A company spokesman attributed the accuracy to the solid Escort action (built in Turkey by Hatsan Arms), tight tolerances, and a chromium steel barrel with precision-cut rifling at 1-in-26 twist for stabilizing those fast loads (made in the United States by Badger Defense).

Shooting off-hand, the compact, lightweight pump gun handled very well. The built-in cantilever scope mounting rail features a fully adjustable fiber-optic rear sight and the muzzle end of the barrel has a rifle-style fiber-optic front sight for shooting without a scope.
