    Bought an Escort Magnum 20 gauge semi-automatic shotgun about a week ago and this coming weekend will be trying it out while Dove hunting.

    Anyone else have one, tried it out, etc.?

    My girlfriend shoots one. I have shot it a few time its a pretty smooth shooting gun. Kinda picky on shells it likes but works for the most part. We got hers as a demo for under 300$

    Under $300, damn that was too good of a deal to pass up!

    I tried it out this past weekend and I like the way it handles and yes you are definitely right about it being picky with the shells but overall I just figured that it's new and needs to be broken in, that's all.

    The main reason why I bought it (purchased from Academy Sports) was because it was the only "left handed shotgun" that was available (which are rare by the way) and the price for it. I paid a total of $483 and change for it.

    It is a bit louder (I think) than my 12 gauge Mossberg but overall I'm satisfied with it!

    Just noticed that your located down in South Padre Island?
    Was down there a week ago, we always enjoy are time down there, hate leaving that place!

    At the time when I made the purchase, they (Academy Sports) were pushing their store brand which are sold exclusively by Academy and so I decided to buy a few boxes and try them out.
