The Escort EXTREME™ features the addition of non-slip grip pads on the forend and pistol grip that give you a superior hold in all weather conditions. Escort shotguns have SMART™ Valve gas pistons that regulate gas blowback to cycle every round – from 2.75 inch range loads through 3.5 inch heavy magnums. Escorts also have FAST™ loading systems that allow one-handed round changes without changing aiming position. Next, Escort added Realtree™ MAX-4™ and Realtree™ AP™ camo patterns to make these shotguns invisible in the field. They are also offering a HiVis MagniSight™ fiber optic, magnetic sight to enhance sight acquisition in low light conditions. Finally, Escort went to Hevi Shot and got their mid-range choke tube for waterfowl (Turkey Extreme model comes with a turkey choke) to round out the perfect hunting machine. All of this at half the price of other, similarly featured shotguns.

The 20-gauge follows the 12-gauge as America's second-most popular shotgun gauge. And, with modern shotshells, continues to gain ground. The 20-gauge has a bore diameter of .615-inch, with modern shells in either 2 3/4 "standard" or 3-inch "magnum" length. Most modern shotguns are chambered to handle both. Payloads vary from light-recoiling 5/8-ounce loads all the way to heavy turkey loads carrying 1 5/16 ounces of shot. Standard 2 3/4" loads for targets and upland birds are normally 7/8 or one ounce. At its very best the 20-gauge does not have the capability of a 12-gauge...but with modern shot, wad columns, and chokes it doesn't give up much, and it can be built into a much lighter shotgun developing less recoil. Virtually all manufacturers offer 20-gauge guns, and they are available in all action types and for virtually all shotgunning sports. The 20-gauge joins the 12, 28, and .410 as one of four events in skeet competition, and is becoming increasingly popular for sporting clays. — Craig Boddington
