The Weatherby Element 2 Waterfowl Max 20 Gauge (Weatherby part no. EW22028PGM) is a semi-auto shotgun purpose-built for the duck blind, wrapped top to bottom in Realtree Max-7 camo for total concealment against timber and marsh backgrounds. It runs on Weatherby’s field-proven inertia recoil system, cycling reliably shot after shot without siphoning gas or fouling the action. Oversized controls, including a larger slammer button, charging handle, and safety, keep the gun fast to run with cold, wet, or gloved hands. Built on a 28-inch barrel with a chrome-lined bore, it is a dedicated waterfowl gun for hunters who demand total camo coverage and dependable cycling in the harshest conditions.
