There is something satisfying about a semi auto that still looks like a proper bird gun, and the Weatherby 18i Deluxe nails that balance. The receiver is machined from a single piece of billet aluminum, finished in nickel, and dressed up with LaserTech engraving that gives it real presence in the gun rack. Underneath the good looks sits an inertia-operated action, the same style of system serious waterfowl and upland hunters have trusted for decades because it runs cleaner and keeps cycling when conditions turn ugly.
This 20 gauge version wears a 26 inch barrel with a full ventilated rib and an LPA fiber optic front sight that picks up light fast when birds flush at first light or last shooting hour. The 3 inch chamber handles heavier hunting loads while still cycling lighter 2 3/4 inch target and small game shells, so one gun covers dove season, the clays course, and late season pheasants. At roughly 6 pounds with a 14 3/4 inch length of pull, it comes to the shoulder naturally and swings without feeling whippy or sluggish.
The matte finish walnut stock is cut with aggressive checkering at the grip and forend, so wet gloves and cold mornings do not cost you control. Weatherby sets the 18i series up for the CRIO Plus choke system and ships five tubes with the gun: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder, along with a wrench, letting you tighten or open patterns for whatever the day calls for. With 4+1 capacity, a crossbolt safety right where your finger expects it, and classic two-tone nickel and walnut styling, the 18i Deluxe is the kind of shotgun that gets handed down, not traded in.
Yes. The 3 inch chambered 18i was set up specifically to cycle lighter target and small game loads more efficiently than a 3 1/2 inch gun would. It handles everything from light clays loads up to full 3 inch hunting shells, which makes it a solid one-gun answer for the range and the field.
The 18i series is set up for the CRIO Plus choke system, and this gun ships with five tubes: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder, plus a wrench. That gives you a wide range of pattern options right out of the box, and aftermarket CRIO Plus tubes are widely available if you want something specialized like a turkey choke.
Inertia actions run cleaner because they do not vent powder gases into the working parts, so they need less frequent cleaning and tend to keep running in cold, wet, or dirty conditions. They are also simpler with fewer parts to maintain. The trade-off is slightly more felt recoil than a gas gun, though in a 20 gauge like this one that difference is pretty mild.
It is a natural fit for upland work. At around 6 pounds with a 26 inch barrel, it carries comfortably on long walks and comes up fast on flushing birds. The fiber optic front sight helps in dim cover, and the checkered walnut stock keeps your grip solid in wet weather.
