Escort Shotguns has released its Optima Over/Under (O/U) Shotgun, a firearm designed for versatility, durability and value. Available in 12-gauge, 20-gauge, and 28-gauge, the Optima O/U is a great choice for hunters and sport shooters looking for reliability and adaptability across various shooting applications.
The 28-gauge model features a 26-inch barrel and 2 3/4-inch (70mm) chamber, making it perfect for lighter loads and precision shooting, while the 12-gauge and 20-gauge models come with a 28-inch barrel and 3-inch (76mm) chamber, providing a versatile option for a variety of hunting and target sports. Whether aiming for upland game, clay targets, turkeys or waterfowl, the Optima delivers when it matters.
A particularly interesting innovation of the Optima O/U is its "Easy Adjust" Action System. This system allows users to adjust the force required to open the action and eject spent shells, making reloading faster, easier and more tailored to the individual shooter. This can come in handy during high-paced shooting sessions.
The Optima O/U is built to last, featuring an aluminum receiver across all models, with a steel receiver option available for the 12-gauge for added strength. The aluminum models are equipped with an extractor system, while the steel receiver 12-gauge models come with a powerful ejector system, helping with quick follow-up shots. The multi-choke system further adds to the shotgun’s versatility, enabling shooters to easily switch chokes for different shot patterns depending on shooting scenario.
Aesthetically, the Optima O/U stands out with its elegant black and silver finishes complemented by fine engraving on the receiver. The shotgun is also outfitted with a select Turkish walnut stock and fore-end, rubber recoil pad, 7x7mm ventilated rib and a fiber-optic front sight for improved accuracy.
