![]() ![]() A gas-operated design, it incorporates a magazine cut-off that allows one to change the chambered cartridge for another without unloading the magazine. Like most semi-automatics it is CNC machined from aluminium alloy. The black-anodised action is neatly presented. It does not look especially cheap apart, perhaps, from the Phillips screws in the grip cap. The Escort may be plain and competitively priced but it is well finished and surprisingly well specified. ![]() One is forced to wonder how on earth it can be made for the money as factory, wholesaler and retailer must all make a profit. It is business-like and black (although a wooden stock version is available as well as camouflage). The model with a synthetic stock is also a favourite of many wildfowlers (though the gun would be as at home in a pigeon hide or busting clays). For that reason alone it is worthy of consideration here. We do not test many repeaters in these pages but this gun, with an RRP of only £493, is one of the most popular now sold in Britain regardless of action type. The Hatsan escort 3in is imported by the well-known firm of Edgar Brothers of Macclesfield (which has been involved with the Hatsan brand since the Nineties). It is a practical workhorse, the 3in-chambered, steel-shot-proofed, Turkish-made Hatsan Escort semi-automatic. Hatsan Escort 3in is this month’s test gun. ![]()
