Weatherby Element 2 Waterfowler 20 Gauge 28in Realtree Max-7 Shotgun

Description

Twenty gauge waterfowl guns have come a long way, and the Weatherby Element 2 Waterfowler is a good example of why so many hunters are making the switch. At roughly six and a half pounds with a 28 inch vent rib barrel, it swings quick, carries easy on long walks to the blind, and the inertia driven action runs clean without dumping gas fouling into the receiver. Weatherby spent real time tuning the spring rates on this system, so it cycles everything from lighter field loads up to heavy 3 inch magnums without fuss.

Built for Cold Hands and Wet Mornings

Everything you touch on the Element 2 got sized up for gloved hands. The bolt release, charging handle, and safety are all oversized, and the receiver has a competition style loading cut that makes topping off the magazine faster when birds are working. A fiber optic front bead sits on the flat rib for quick target pickup in gray early morning light, and the whole gun, stock, receiver, barrel and rib, wears a hydrodipped Realtree Max-7 pattern that disappears into marsh grass and flooded timber.

Element 2 Waterfowler Fit and Chokes

The synthetic stock includes adjustable shims so you can tweak cast for a proper fit, plus a soft cheekpiece and textured grip panels that stay put when everything is soaked. This Waterfowler model ships with three extended Crio Plus choke tubes in improved cylinder, modified, and full, along with a wrench and a carrying case, so you are covered from decoying ducks to passing shots without buying anything extra.

Keeping Your Element 2 Running

Maintenance is where inertia guns shine, and Weatherby made it even simpler here. The recoil spring assembly in the stock now breaks down without tools, so end of season cleaning takes minutes instead of an afternoon. For hunters who want 12 gauge capability in a package their shoulder and their arms will thank them for, this 20 gauge Element 2 is a genuinely smart pick.
