Weatherby Element II Upland Compact, 20 Gauge, 24 Barrel, Oil Rubbed Walnut, Semi-Auto ShotgunThe Weatherby Element II Upland Compact takes the proven Element II inertia semi-auto shotgun and sizes it for smaller-statured shooters. Weatherby gives it a shorter 13.2 inch length of pull and a 24 inch barrel in 20 gauge, so the gun comes to the shoulder quickly, swings smoothly and stays easy to control through a long day of walking up birds. An oil rubbed walnut stock and forend give it the classic look an upland gun deserves, while the two-tone receiver, barrel and top rib keep it ready for the field.This listing is Weatherby part number EUC22024PGM (UPC 747115460816). It is chambered for 3 inch 20 gauge shells, holds 2+1 rounds, weighs 6.3 lb and ships with three Crio Plus choke tubes, a choke wrench and a choke case.Order the Weatherby Element II Upland Compact from BattleHawk Armory and have it shipped to your local FFL dealer.Sized for Comfort and ControlFit is what makes a shotgun shoot where you look. A stock that is too long slows your mount, pulls your face off the comb and makes the gun feel heavy at the muzzle. Weatherby built the Element II Upland Compact with a 13.2 inch length of pull and a shorter 24 inch barrel, which Weatherby says improves comfort and control for smaller frames. That makes it a strong choice for younger hunters, smaller-framed adults and anyone who prefers a quick, lively gun in thick cover. At 44 inches overall and 6.3 lb, it carries easily in the hand and points naturally on flushing birds.Field-Proven Inertia Reloading SystemThe Element II runs on Weatherby's inertia reloading system. Instead of tapping gas from the barrel, an inertia gun uses the energy of recoil to cycle the action. Weatherby describes the system as simple and robust, and it keeps the action clean because there are no gas ports or pistons collecting carbon. For an upland hunter, that means less time scrubbing parts after a hunt and dependable cycling from the first covey of the season to the last.Competition Cut ReceiverThe receiver carries a competition cut around the loading port. This opening makes it faster and easier to load shells, which helps when a bird gets up just after you have fired, or when you want to top off quickly between flushes. It is a feature borrowed from competitive shooting that pays off in the field.Oversized ControlsWeatherby fits the Element II with an oversized slammer button, charging handle and safety. Larger controls are easier to find and work when your hands are cold, wet or gloved, and they help you operate the gun smoothly without taking your eyes off the dog or the cover in front of you.Tool-less Recoil Spring and Adjustable Stock ShimsInside the stock, the recoil spring nut now comes apart without tools, so maintaining the inertia recoil spring is quick and straightforward. The Element II also includes adjustable stock shims that let you fine-tune cast for a more personalized and comfortable fit, which helps the gun shoot where you look and reduces felt discomfort over a long day.Crio Plus Choke SystemThe shotgun uses the Crio Plus choke system and comes ready to hunt with three chokes: Improved Cylinder, Modified and Full. Improved Cylinder suits close flushes in tight cover, Modified is a versatile all-around choice, and Full extends your reach for late-season birds that flush wild. A choke wrench and a carrying case are included. A fiber optic sight up front gives your eye a bright reference point as you swing.Oil Rubbed Walnut and Two-Tone FinishWeatherby lists the stock as oil rubbed walnut, a finish that shows off the grain and is easy to touch up after seasons in the field. The receiver, barrel and top rib wear a two-tone finish. Together they give the Element II Upland Compact the traditional look of a fine bird gun with the dependable function of a modern semi-auto.
