[Which Gun]

The cantilever rail is bolted to barrel.

Maybe I should get the youth model, a little shorter length of pull dovetailed receiver  I can mount a dot on and grandson  can use it.

I went with the youth model myself.  Very compact package with the 22" barrel and short LOP. I had the receiver drilled and tapped for a marlin 336 base and FF3. I ended up with a trulock 585 choke that throws a fantastic uniform pattern with low 300's in the 10" at 40 yards with 1 5/8 oz of #9's. The new models use a rem choke thread pattern but the body of the chokes are slightly longer then a a V3 factory choke. About half the thickness of a dime. Just a heads up.

Witchgun, I have been shooting Escorts for 11 yrs now, I do alot of shooting. They are hands down the best guns on the market. I was givin one on a snow goose hunt from the ownner/exporter and was told not to ever clean it. He sends a survay every 6months and I still shoot it and never been cleaned, and never jambed. I have owned every gun they make, sold all the high dollar guns and shoot only escorts, grandkids all shoot them, for the money they are great, they clcle fast

You have to watch these guns with the barrel mounted rail, reason why is with that high front sight , which is not removable on the gun , you will be almost co-witnessing with your red dot and the sight on the gun.. i had this problem with the 410 and i had to add 1/2 riser between the red dot pictinny mount and the rail , which solved the problem and now with that riser i can also use my regular sights...  got the gun all sighted in and the gun shot great...

Picked up the youth model and used a utility dovetail to picatinny  adapter to mount a Vortex red dot. I only fired  some dovetail loads thru it so far to check function  and no problems.

I sent one of my chokes to Trulock to get  a .585 that screws all the way in made.

I have one, semi-auto. Can't beat it for the price. I killed my first turkey with it last year. 38 yards, he didn't even flinch. Dirt nap! Factory choke, TSS #7/9.

Same results for me with it two years ago at 40. It's a solid option for anyone I think. Pretty light and very maneuverable which is nice.

Bought one myself recently. Had trigger issues, unbelievably heavy pull. Emailed customer service and they offered to let me send it in or they would send another trigger. I opted for the new trigger. Had to spend 40 to get someone to put it in for me, but it's world's better. Also bought a fastfire II that I had to send back because the dot wouldn't lock down. Exchanged for a vortex viper. 
Already well into the season, but what patterning I've done looks great. TSS super slam 1 5/8 #9s and a .575 trulock.
