Description
The Escort Field Hunter Turkey 20 Gauge 22-inch Mossy Oak Bottomland is a full-size, purpose-built turkey gun that doesn’t cut corners. Chambered in 20 gauge with a 22-inch chrome-plated steel barrel, it’s proof-tested for years of hard use. The Mossy Oak Bottomland camo finish blends into any Southern woods, and the multi-choke system lets you dial in your pattern for long beards or close timber.

Key Features
- 22-inch Chrome-Lined Barrel – Why it matters: The chrome lining resists corrosion and makes cleaning a breeze after a muddy morning hunt, plus the shorter length swings fast in tight cover.
- Multi-Choke System – Why it matters: You can swap chokes to match your load and distance—from a tight turkey choke for long shots to a modified for decoying birds.
- Grooved Aluminum Receiver with Weaver-Style Optics Rail – Why it matters: Mount a red dot or scope directly without aftermarket adapters, keeping your setup low and solid.
- Fiber-Optic Front and Rear Sights – Why it matters: Quick sight acquisition in low-light dawn hours, so you can pick out a beard in the shadows.
- Stock Shims and Rubber Buttpad – Why it matters: Adjust length of pull and drop to fit your frame, and the buttpad soaks up recoil—a real blessing with those heavy turkey loads.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is for the Southern turkey hunter who wants a dedicated, lightweight 20-gauge pump that won’t break the bank. If you’re chasing long beards through creek bottoms or hardwoods, and you value reliability over flash, this is your gun. It’s also a fine choice for a youth shooter or someone with a smaller frame who needs a 20-gauge that still patterns like a 12.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Light weight (6.2 lbs), excellent camo for Southern woods, optics-ready receiver, adjustable stock, affordable price under $350.
- Cons: The synthetic stock can feel a bit utilitarian compared to wood; some shooters may prefer a longer barrel for pass-shooting, but for turkey hunting the 22-inch is ideal.
