The Weatherby Element II Waterfowler is a 20-gauge semi-automatic shotgun built for serious waterfowl hunters who demand reliability when conditions get rough. This 28-inch vent-rib model combines a field-proven inertia recoil system with thoughtful ergonomics designed to keep you in the fight when it matters most. From pre-dawn marsh setups to all-day duck season marathons, the Element II cycles reliably shot after shot, whether you're throwing steel or lead.
Weatherby engineered the Element II with oversized controls—including a larger charging handle and safety—so you can operate it confidently even with cold fingers, heavy gloves, or wet hands. The 3-inch chamber handles the full range of 20-gauge ammunition, and the 2+1 capacity (two in the magazine, one in the chamber) keeps the gun nimble in a blind. The entire gun—stock, receiver, and barrel—is hydrodipped in Realtree Max-7 camo, giving you a cohesive, durable finish that breaks up your outline in natural cover. Add a chrome-lined bore for corrosion resistance in wet environments, and you've got a gun that'll last decades if you treat it right.
The fixed synthetic stock won't swell or warp like wood in humidity, and it's bedded to work with Weatherby's inertia system. The vent rib helps you track moving targets, and the included Crio Plus choke tubes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full) let you tune your pattern for the distance and target you're hunting. Whether you're jumping mallards over decoys or working a marsh edge, the Element II Waterfowler is purpose-built for the duck blind.
