Escort Shotguns has just unveiled the new Escort Field Hunter Youth 20-gauge pump-action shotgun. As a youth-size shotgun, it has a buttstock with a shorter length-of-pull (LOP), making it suitable for not only children but any shooter of smaller stature and a shorter wingspan.

This pump-action shotgun has a 3-inch chamber that can cycle any 20-gauge sporting load for both sport-shooting, turkey hunting or wingshooting. With this size chamber, the new Escort Field Hunter Youth shotgun can also handle 20-gauge buckshot/slug loads for hunting hoofed game. A magazine-tube capacity limiter is included in order to make the shotgun’s overall capacity compliant with migratory bird hunting regulations. Otherwise, the Escort Field Hunter Youth Shotgun has a standard four-round capacity.

Escort has designed the Field Hunter Youth with a synthetic polymer stock and fore-end with textured grips to ensure durability. The receiver is aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, fully anodized and sports an 11mm dovetail for mounting an optic. The chrome plated, 22-inch barrel pulls everything together using a 7mm checkered and ventilated anti-glare rib ending with a classic brass bead. For fit and comfort, the shotgun includes a rubber recoil TrioPad with spacers that can be added or removed to adjust the length-of-pull. Stock shims provide adjustment of drop and cast for a better fit. Safety is a significant concern for any firearm, so manual cross-button safety is built in.
