Slow Motion Clay Shooting with Hatsan Escort Semi Auto

Using new LG Viewty phone, I decided to video myself shooting three shots with my semi-auto Hatsan Escort at Farnley Clay Shoot, Huddersfield.
Came out pretty well I think !

I know here in the u/s that the escort semi auto is a cheap/low priced semi auto. How do you find it?

[GUMN99]

Unbeatable, never had any problems with it, cycles 28 gram light loads up to SG without needing anything apart from occasional cleaning.

If you accept that it isn't as pretty as a Beretta, and just want a cheap reliable gun then you will not find better value.

Particularly as it comes with a three year warranty in the UK.

@GUMN99 How can i fire 3 magnums out of my escort semi auto?! do i have to swap the piston

[GUMN99]

@ChanBAG95

As long as it is proofed and chambered for 3" loads, it should cycle them without needing to do anything, just load and shoot.

Mine cycles them fine, but tbh I don't use them much, too expensive !

[GUMN99]

Hit the clay with first shot, then just fired next two rounds off at the broken bits just to make the video interesting, it was the practice stand, not a real competition target.

Let me assure you, I never, ever, miss.

Although I do lie a lot !

HI

what do you think of the hatsan?

Im after a cheap semi auto for rough shooting and the hatsan seems to be the only thing you cat get new for £400. Some people say they experience feed problems, have you had any of these? or any other issues?

Cheers

Ive got a Hatsan as well, had it for about 5 years, its never failed to fire and only had 1 mishap with ejection - the extractor claw was gummed up. apart from that - for the price a great gun, they use the same chokes as the Beretta Mobil system (I've also got 4 berettas, 2x Silver Pigeons, 2x AL391's, 12 & 20b in both

The Escort is used for lamping / loan gun for Clays. as said in a previous post - anything from 2 3/4" 24g 8's to 3 inch 50g BB's. its chews them up and spits them out.

HI, how much should this gun cost new in the uk? a shop near me sells them for £399 and i feel thats a bit high! ,thanks

@huwston999 most shotguns can take 5 shots.there is a blank fitted.but you need a firearms cert.in the uk

I have an Escort P as a backup for my expensive Fausti clays over/under. The Escort has had 5,000+ rounds through it and only failed to feed once -- on a badly bent reload. Mine cost two hundred bucks new. It functions beautifully and I don't think I will be able to kill it in my lifetime. Escort is a great value only because it works reliably. The chokes work as advertised, too. If you want a shotgun that just plain works, this is it.

Save your money until you can afford to purchase a gun that has good notoriety and resale value. Such as Browning, Beretta, or Remington.

Hi, i bought some 28g fiocchi cartridges and was given a box of 2 +1/2 inches not 2 + 3.4 inches, just wondering, seeing as it is proofed for 3" will is safely fire a 2 and a half inch cart?
