Escort Releases New Escort 22LR Bolt-Action Rifle
Escort typically makes shotguns and air rifles but now they have a new .22LR bolt-action rifle. Named the Escort 22LR, this magazine-fed bolt-action rifle should be a great hunter, plinker, and/or trainer at a low price.
The hard chrome-plated steel alloy receiver and barrel resist rust and corrosion while the smooth chrome-plated bolt moves easily. The safety mechanism is simple inexperienced shooters.
The rifle includes a 5-round and a 10-round magazine. The magazine bodies are made from a lightweight, durable polymer with a stainless-steel follower that is easy to load. The threaded barrel is fitted with a protective cap and is ready to accept a variety of popular muzzle accessories. Mounted studs are ready to accept a wide array of slings.
The Escort 22LR is available in two stock variants. The Turkish walnut stock offers fish-scale textured grip areas and a recessed magazine well. This stock also features Hatsan’s DuoTex buttpad. The synthetic stock model features texturing of the grip areas and a Picatinny accessory rail under the forearm. The buttstock also has a storage slot for a spare 5- or 10-round magazine and is equipped with a soft ventilated buttpad.
