WARNING !
If the trigger is pulled and a "click" is heard but a chambered cartridge fails to fire, follow the
below instruction.
1. Point the firearm in a safe direction.
2. Engage safety.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Eject the cartridge from the chamber by pressing the action release button and by pulling
the fore-end backward. Examine the cartridge primer. If it has been deeply indented by the
firing pin, the cartridge is defective. If it has been indented lightly or not at all, rechamber the
cartridge and try again.
5. If still it does not fire, unload the gun and take it to a qualified gunsmith.
• When you are firing, if you notice that the sound of any cartridge is considerably louder or softer
than the previous one, stop firing and do not load the firearm anymore. In such a case, follow the
below instruction.
1. Point the firearm in a safe direction.
2. Engage safety.
3. Follow the instructions in the "unloading section" and unload the firearm completely.
4. With the firearm unloaded, check the barrel for blockage or damage. If you notice any damage or
malfunction in the firearm take it to a qualified gunsmith.
USE OF THE "CHOKES" (for ESCORT FieldHunters only)
There are 3 different screw-in (inner) chokes that are packed with your firearm.
• F (Full / )
• M (Modified /// )
• IC (Improved Cylinder //// )
All screw-in (inner) chokes have one, two, three, four or five notches, which indicate the type of the
screw-in choke, i.e. F choke has one, M has three and IC has four notches. Please also check the
markings on chokes.
Improved Modified (IM), Cylinder-Skeet and turkey chokes are offered as accessories. Please
contact Legacy Sports International (www.legacysport.com) for accessory choke tubes.
Note: F, IM, M, IC and Cyl-Skeet choke tubes are good for steel shot.
Turkey choke tube is for lead shot only!
Above table shows the constriction & pattern percentage versus inner chokes. Pattern percentages
are taken at a distance of 36.5meters (40 yards). The number of pellets striking within a 76mm (30
inch) circle, drawn so as to encompass as many pellet holes as possible, is counted and compared
with the number of pellets contained in an identical unfired shell. The result is expressed as a
percentage.
As can be seen from above table Full inner choke has the most accuracy and accuracy decreases
from Full to Cyl-Skeet inner choke which has the least accuracy. Expansion of the shot pellets within
a distance is the least in Full inner choke and it is the most in Cylinder-Skeet inner choke.
Choke Constriction (12 Gauge) Pattern Percentage
Cylinder-Skeet 0-0.005" (0-0.12 mm) 40% - 53%
Improved Cylinder 0.010" (0.25 mm) 57%
Modified 0.020" (0.50 mm) 67%
Improved Modified 0.030" (0.75 mm) 73%
Full 0.040" (1.0 mm) 75%
