Escort Supreme Lede

HatsanUSA has debuted its Escort Supreme, a gas-operated, semi-automatic shotgun available in 12- and 20-gauge, with a 3-inch magnum chamber. Thanks to the Smart Valve Piston system, this self-regulating gas-piston system cycles both 2 3/4- and 3-inch rounds, from 7/8 ounce light loads up to 2 ounce magnums. Meanwhile, the Fast Loading System enables faster and easier one-handed magazine loading. This allows the shooters to stay in action with swifter reloads. The 28-inch barrel is designed to run both shot and slugs, providing versatility in various shooting scenarios.

Escort Supreme Stock

The Escort Supreme is built with an adjustable high-grade Turkish walnut stock. Both the stock and fore-end feature a checkered grip texture, and the stock's glossy finish blends well with the anodized aircraft aluminum alloy. The rubber buttpad cuts recoil, and is also adjustable for LOP.

Escort Supreme Receiver

The steel barrel is chrome plated with nickel, chromium, and molybdenum, and finished with a fixed fiber-optic sight out at the front of its 7mm vented rib. The 11mm groove allows for the easy installation of optics. All barrels are proof-tested at the factory to ensure maximum durability. Five chokes are standard in Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder and Cylinder, and all are suitable for steel shot.

Escort Supreme Barrel

The tube magazine holds 4+1, or 2+1 with a migratory plug installed. The magazine cutoff system allows the shotgun to be fired with a single shot when necessary. The cross-bolt safety is standard, and sling studs are integrated for the easy installation of a sling.

Recipe: Deep-Rooted Venison Stew

Several friends and I often circle back to the same campfire debate about which wild game makes the best stew. Mule deer usually leads the pack, with moose close behind, but any well-handled game meat can stand out when you build the right layers of flavor. The real magic starts long before the broth simmers. It comes from the vegetables and mushrooms you choose.
