The Weatherby Element II 20 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun (Weatherby part no. ET22028PGM) brings the same inertia-driven reliability as its 12 gauge sibling in a lighter, softer-shooting platform. Built by Weatherby, this 3-inch-chambered 20 gauge wears a 28-inch vent rib barrel finished in tungsten Cerakote across the barrel and receiver for corrosion resistance in the field. Oversized controls, including a larger slammer button, charging handle, and safety, make it easy to run in cold weather or with gloved hands. The adjustable-shim black synthetic stock lets a shooter dial in drop and cast for a more natural, repeatable mount. It is an easy-carrying upland and small-game gun for hunters who want a dependable autoloader without added weight.
