Inertia guns have earned their reputation in duck blinds and grouse coverts for a simple reason: fewer parts getting dirty means fewer things that can quit on you. The Weatherby Element II Synthetic runs on that same field-proven inertia system, and Weatherby spent real time tuning the spring rates so it cycles everything from light small game loads up to heavy 3-inch magnums without fuss. When the season ends, the tool-less recoil spring nut lets you pull the system apart for cleaning without digging through your toolbox.
Where the Element II really separates itself from the first generation is the ergonomics. The bolt release, charging handle, and safety are all oversized, which matters a lot more than it sounds when your fingers are numb in a December blind. The receiver also gets a competition-style loading cut, so topping off the magazine is quicker and less fumbly. Up front, the flat rib carries an LPA fiber optic bead that grabs your eye fast in gray morning light.
This model wears a matte black synthetic stock with textured grip panels and a soft cheekpiece, and it ships with shims so you can adjust cast and get the gun pointing where you look. At roughly 6.7 pounds with a 28-inch barrel, it swings smoothly on crossing birds but still carries easy through a long day of upland walking. The 3-inch chamber and 2+1 capacity cover everything from doves to ducks.
Weatherby uses the widely supported Crio Plus choke pattern here, and the gun comes with flush-fit improved cylinder, modified, and full tubes plus a wrench and a carrying case. That thread pattern means aftermarket choke options are everywhere if you want to fine-tune patterns for a specific load down the road. For a 20 gauge autoloader that pulls double duty between the marsh and the uplands, this one is tough to argue with.
Weatherby tuned the spring rates on the Element II's inertia system to run a wide range of ammo, from lighter small game and target loads up to heavy 3-inch magnums. That said, like most inertia guns, it benefits from a good cleaning and light lube out of the box before you feed it the featherweight stuff. Once broken in, it handles mixed loads well.
It uses the Crio Plus choke thread pattern, which is one of the most common systems out there, so aftermarket tubes are easy to find. The Synthetic model ships with three flush-fit chokes: improved cylinder, modified, and full, along with a wrench and carrying case.
The biggest upgrades are the oversized controls, meaning a larger bolt release, charging handle, and safety that are much easier to work with gloves on. Weatherby also added a competition-cut receiver for faster loading and a tool-less recoil spring nut that makes maintenance on the inertia spring far simpler.
That's exactly what it was built for. The 3-inch chamber handles stout duck loads, while the roughly 6.7-pound weight and 28-inch barrel make it pleasant to carry and quick to swing on flushing birds. The included choke set lets you tighten or open your patterns depending on the hunt.
