Shorter shells of the same gauge also fit and cycle normally. Choose shot size and choke to match the game: smaller shot and open chokes for close-flushing upland birds and clays, larger shot and tighter chokes for waterfowl and turkey at longer range.Care and Setup TipsBefore the season, pattern the shotgun with the loads and chokes you intend to hunt with. Shoot at a large sheet of paper at 30 to 40 yards and check where the center of the pattern lands and how evenly the pellets spread. That tells you which choke and load combination works best and whether the gun shoots where you look.Clean the bore and chokes after each outing, especially after waterfowl hunts in wet or salty conditions, and put a drop of choke tube lube on the threads so the tubes come out easily. Keep the action and stock dry, and store the gun in a dry place. A well kept Weatherby shotgun will last for many seasons.Is It Right for You?Browse more Weatherby firearms and ammunition or compare other shotguns.Product SpecificationsManufacturer: WeatherbyModel: Element II UplandPart Number: EU21228PGMUPC: 747115457885Gauge: 12 GaugeChamber: 3 in.Action: Semi-AutoCapacity: 2+1Barrel Length: 28 in.Chokes: IC, M, FSights: Fiber OpticFinish: Stock: Turkish Walnut; Receiver: Two tone; Barrel / Top Rib: Chrome linedLength of Pull: 14.5 inDrop at Comb: 1.5 inDrop at Heel: 2.25-2.375Overall Length: 49.5 inWeight: 6.9 lbFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the capacity?2+1, per Weatherby.What is the barrel length?28 inches.Which chokes are included?IC, M, F.Does it come with a scope or sights?It has Fiber Optic sights.How do I buy it?Firearms ship to a licensed FFL dealer near you.
