$899.95

BASICS:

Reliable inertia-driven 20 gauge semi-automatic shotgun featuring lightweight handling, Griptonite synthetic stock, and versatile all-purpose field performance.

Gunfitter’s Take

The Element series has become very popular because Weatherby built an inertia-driven shotgun that remains lightweight, reliable, and easy to maintain without becoming overly expensive. Inertia-operated systems are especially attractive for hunters who value simplicity and cleaner-running actions during heavy field use.

The 20 gauge configuration is another major strength here. Recoil remains very manageable while the shotgun still handles upland birds, clays, and waterfowl extremely well. Combined with the 28-inch barrel, the shotgun swings very naturally and feels balanced in the hands.

The Griptonite stock also deserves attention because the textured inserts genuinely help maintain control in wet weather and colder hunting conditions. Combined with the chrome-lined bore and weather-resistant synthetic construction, the Element Synthetic becomes a very practical all-around field shotgun.

For shooters wanting a dependable lightweight semi-automatic hunting shotgun with modern features and strong overall versatility, the Weatherby Element Synthetic 20GA 28″ is an excellent option.
