New Guns 2025: Escort Shotguns' ERX Bolt-Action ... Rifle? Yes, Rifle.

Just because the company's name is Escort Shotguns doesn't mean they can't create a bolt-action rifle.

The company's name may be Escort Shotguns, but its big news for 2025 isn't a shotgun at all--it's a bolt-action rifle. It's called the ERX, and quite a bit of its DNA comes from the Remington 700, with an action, trigger, magazine, and optic footprints. This is a hunting/distance shooting gun that comes in two chamberings (.308 WIN or .30-06 SPRG). However, that Remington 700 "backbone" supports integrated features that are pretty unique among modern hunting rifles.

The primary point of this long gun is modularity. It's easy to fit attachments and accessories to the ERX Series Rifle due to its integrated Picatinny accessory rail at the front of the stock, under the barrel. By incorporating the rail, adjustable cheek rest, metal trigger guard, and REM700 spec footprints, users can outfit their ERX Rifle for specific needs or hunting requirements.

The .308 is available in an 18.5" barrel, while the .30-06 is offered in either 20" or 24". That barrel is fashioned of 4140 CRMO steel, and is button rifled and gas-nitride-treated with black chrome plating. It is then completed with 5/8”-24 threads with an included muzzle brake. Both calibers offer a 1:10 twist rate.

There's also a thumb paddle magazine release at the front of the metal trigger guard, for quick and simple reloading. Safety is a standard and easy to use safety switch that takes guesswork out of safe operation. The bolt release is conveniently located opposite the safety switch on the left side of the receiver.

The ERX series' synthetic stock is also quite interesting, with QD sling mounts and sling studs integrated into the front and rear of the stock. Likewise, expert control is provided with an inlaid soft rubber grip and forearm sections. An adjustable elevation cheek rest makes optics choices straightforward, as users can adjust their shooting position based on the optic and not be limited by specific optics choices. The rear of the stock is equipped with an adjustable length of pull by use of the included 3 – 10mm spacers for a custom fit. The stock is then capped with a soft rubber butt pad designed to efficiently reduce felt recoil. MSRP not available at this time; for more, visit EscortShotgunsUSA.com
