The Weatherby Element II DUX 20 gauge is a semi-auto waterfowl shotgun with a 28-inch barrel and a 3-inch chamber (Weatherby part no. EX22028PGM). Weatherby built the DUX Edition with DUX, a waterfowl media brand, and finished it in DUX Camo with a gold choke as a nod to the partnership. Oversized controls, including the slammer button, charging handle and safety, are made for cold, wet or gloved hands in a blind. The Element II runs on Weatherby’s inertia system, which is simple to maintain.

Key Specifications

• Magazine capacity is 2+1 rounds.
• The action is an inertia semi-auto, a simple system that is easy to maintain.
• Weight is 6.7 pounds, light enough to carry and swing all day.
• Overall length is 49.5 inches, a balanced size for a 28-inch barrel.
• Three Crio Plus chokes (improved cylinder, modified and full) are included with an extended gold choke, so patterns can be matched to the shot.
