I decided a while back I was going to add a new semiauto 12 gauge to my collection. I found an awesome deal on an escort turkey tactical and ordered it. I didn't like the hivis sights and ghost ring on it so I machined a new picatinny rail to fit and tapped a couple 6-32 threads in it to mount a Burris FF3 I had on it.  I did a lot of shooting and patterning and I am quite pleased with the gun overall! Here's 40 yards with a kicks .655 and 3" Longbeards xr #5's

I think that might do the trick
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

I picked up one of these used at a good price, it surprised me put up some good numbers with the long beard #6's and a IC .665, only complaint I have is the trigger is awful.

You're right on the trigger not being good at all. This off season I plan on replacing it or doing some work to mine and try and get it better. It's just way to stiff

I'm going to drop mine off at a buddies shop and see if he can do something with the trigger.....if he can just take some of the creep out of it I'd be happy, probably going to get him to cut the stock down and shorten the lop also.

Most places I've seen have had it between $499-$599 but I found this one on liquidation sale brand new still sealed up in the factory box and plastic for $375 so I had to atlas try it lol
