Weatherby Element II Semi-Automatic Shotgun 20 Gauge 3" Chamber 28" Barrel 2Rd Capacity Turkish Walnut Stock Matte Black Finish
Engineered with precision and tailored for the avid hunter, the ELEMENT II boasts an array of features designed to elevate your shooting experience. It features oversized controls including a larger slammer button, charging handle, and safety to ensure seamless operation in less-than-ideal conditions. The ELEMENT II utilizes our field-proven inertia recoil system which provides reliable cycling shot after shot.
Crafted with the waterfowler and upland hunter in mind, the Element II embodies reliability and performance. Its oversized safety, charging handle, and slammer button ensure easy operation even in the most demanding situations. The receiver has a competition cut for easier loading.
The flat ribbed barrel features an LPA bead for quick target acquisition, giving you the edge in low-light conditions. The ELEMENT II utilizes the popular Crio® Plus choke system and comes with 3 chokes, choke wrench, and a convenient choke tube carrying case (chokes included improved cylinder, modified, full). *Upland and Synthetic have flush chokes and the Waterfowler and Tungsten models have extended chokes.
Adjustable stock shims are included so shooters can adjust cast for a tailored fit to the gun. The stock has textured touch points for a non-slip grip and a soft cheekpiece for comfort while shooting. On the inside of the stock, the recoil spring nut now has a tool-less disassembly for easy maintenance of the inertia recoiling spring.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 20-gauge follows the 12-gauge as America's second-most popular shotgun gauge. And, with modern shotshells, continues to gain ground. The 20-gauge has a bore diameter of .615-inch, with modern shells in either 2 3/4 "standard" or 3-inch "magnum" length. Most modern shotguns are chambered to handle both. Payloads vary from light-recoiling 5/8-ounce loads all the way to heavy turkey loads carrying 1 5/16 ounces of shot. Standard 2 3/4" loads for targets and upland birds are normally 7/8 or one ounce. At its very best the 20-gauge does not have the capability of a 12-gauge...but with modern shot, wad columns, and chokes it doesn't give up much, and it can be built into a much lighter shotgun developing less recoil. Virtually all manufacturers offer 20-gauge guns, and they are available in all action types and for virtually all shotgunning sports. The 20-gauge joins the 12, 28, and .410 as one of four events in skeet competition, and is becoming increasingly popular for sporting clays.
