Escort is well known for its unique shotguns, and now the company is rolling out something new: a bolt-action rifle chambered in .22 LR. Simply named the 22LR, this magazine-fed, bolt-action rifle makes a great hunting rifle, plinker and training rifle at an excellent price. The hard-chrome-plated, steel-alloy receiver and barrel resist rust and corrosion, while the smooth, chrome-plated bolt moves precisely, yet freely. The safety mechanism is easy to operate, even for the most inexperienced shooters.
The 22LR rifle includes a five-round and a 10-round magazine to suit a variety of hunting and plinking needs. The body of the magazines is made from a lightweight, durable polymer with a stainless-steel follower and is easy to load. The threaded barrel is fitted with a protective cap and is ready to accept a variety of popular muzzle accessories. Mounted studs are included in the stock and ready to accept a wide array of slings.
The Escort 22LR is available in two stock variants. The Turkish walnut stock model offers fish-scale-textured grip areas and a recessed magazine well. The stock also features Hatsan's DuoTex buttpad for consistent, easy shouldering. The synthetic stock model features texturing of the grip areas and a Picatinny accessory rail under the forearm. The buttstock of the synthetic model also has a storage slot for a spare five- or 10-round magazine and is equipped with a soft, ventilated buttpad.
