The Weatherby Element 2 Upland 12 Gauge (Weatherby part no. EU21228PGM) is a semi-auto shotgun built for walking wild bird country, pairing a field-proven inertia recoil system with a handsome Turkish walnut stock and a two-tone receiver. Oversized controls, including a larger slammer button, charging handle, and safety, keep the gun fast and confident to run over the course of a long day afield. The 28-inch chrome-lined barrel patterns consistently and resists fouling, while the inertia action cycles shot after shot without tapping gas from the bore. It is a classic-looking upland gun built for hunters who want traditional style without giving up modern reliability.
