Youth WS 20 Gauge

Youth shotguns are often the first introduction to hunting for many individuals, and Escort Shotguns is looking to help continue that tradition with its WS Youth shotgun.

The WS Youth is a 20-gauge providing more than enough energy to easily hunt fowl and deer with reduced recoil. The 13.75-inch length of pull offers safe and effective handling without oversizing or overweighing the abilities of younger and smaller-frame hunters. The receiver is manufactured from an aircraft alloy, providing a lightweight yet robust platform.

This WS Youth includes Escort’s multi-choke system for pellet throw pattern requirements depending on game and shotshell choice. The 22-inch oxidation-resistant chrome-plated steel barrel contrasts the Turkish walnut stock and fore-end, offering durability and reliability. Like the other WS models, the WS Youth boasts an 11mm groove for scope mounts, allowing users to attach optics for improved aiming precision and a 7mm checkered and ventilated anti-glare raised rib, complemented by a fiber optic front sight, which facilitates quick and accurate target acquisition. While suitable for youth shooters, this is an heirloom shotgun anyone would be proud to pass down and receive.
