Weatherby ET21228PGM Element II 12 Gauge 3" 2+1 28" Tungsten Cerakote Vent Rib Barrel & Receiver, Adj Shim Black Synthetic Stock
The Weatherby Element II 12 gauge is a semi-automatic shotgun built for hunters who need reliable performance in the field without fuss. This 28" model combines proven inertia-driven mechanics with modern ergonomics and durable finishes that hold up to real-world use. Whether you're working waterfowl, upland game, or clays, the Element II delivers the reliability and handling you expect from Weatherby's field-tested platform.
What sets the Element II apart is attention to the details that matter when conditions aren't perfect. The charging handle, safety, and other controls are oversized—a straightforward feature that makes a genuine difference when you're wearing gloves or moving quickly. The 3" chamber accepts standard and magnum loads, giving you flexibility in load selection. Chrome-lined bore and tungsten Cerakote finish on both barrel and receiver mean this gun is built to resist the corrosion and wear that come with seasons in the field.
The black synthetic stock with adjustable shim system lets you dial in fit and comb height for your shooting style and frame. It's practical, low-maintenance, and won't warp or swell like wood. The 2+1 capacity (two in the magazine, one in the chamber) keeps the gun nimble while giving you enough rounds for most hunting situations. Included Crio Plus chokes—Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full—cover the spread of distances and shot patterns you'll encounter hunting.
