Optima vs Hatsan Escort? Are they same thing?

[cbabes]

Anyone know if there is a difference between the Optima Escort MP-A and the Hatsan Escort MP-A? Two dealers here have a $50 difference on them. They look identical...

NO diff - its all the same except the $50 gap.

Either way its a decent firearm for a semi.

Thanks. I figured since the pic looked to be exactly the same. Going to be shooting one tomorrow. Curious to see how it cycles different loads.

It cycles pretty good.

First outing (testing for function) I fired 10 3" slugs, 10 3" ))Buck, 10 2 3/4 Reduced recoil slugs, 25 #8 federal Target load all went very well & super smooth so..... I tried 25 1oz. reloads I use in my sporting o/u for sh*ts & giggles. All went well again. To this day ( about 400 rnds later) it has digested everything I have loaded.

That was some fast cycling.

Nice to hear.

I'm kind of interested in these, I might wait until the sliding stock model is available though.

+1 for me. I'd be double interested in 20ga.

Edit wrong one.

I see it offered in the UK with multiple chokes, now that would be handy for a rifled choke for deer hunting season.
