Weatherby Element II Limited Run 12 Ga, 22″ Barrel – Hydrodipped Bottomland Camo

Hunting in dense timber or waiting out stubborn birds requires a firearm that functions flawlessly every single time. The Weatherby Element II Limited Run 12-gauge shotgun blends ultra-reliable engineering with a tactical, fast-handling profile. Outfitted in the iconic Mossy Oak Original Bottomland hydrodipped finish, this limited-production model is built specifically for hunters who refuse to let harsh weather or tight spaces compromise their shot.

Why the Weatherby Element II Limited Run Rules the Field

At the heart of this high-performance shotgun is Weatherby’s field-proven inertia operating system. Unlike gas-operated semi-automatics that vent dirty carbon back into the action, the inertia system uses the physical recoil of the firearm to cycle shells. The result? A cleaner-running, lighter shotgun that stays in the fight longer with minimal maintenance.

Engineered for Dynamic Shooting and Speed

The Short Barrel Advantage

The standout feature of this Weatherby Element II Limited Run configuration is its compact 22-inch barrel. While longer waterfowl barrels can feel clumsy in thick brush or a tight turkey blind, this shorter length provides blistering swing speeds and unmatched maneuverability. It cuts down on total weight, bringing the shotgun to a nimble 6.9 pounds so you can track fast-moving targets effortlessly.

Advanced Ergonomics and Oversized Controls

When the temperature drops or the adrenaline surges, managing tiny buttons can cost you a trophy. Weatherby solves this by integrating premium, oversized controls directly onto the receiver:

• Oversized Slammer Button: Large bolt release for seamless shell cycling.

• Fluted Charging Handle: Deep ridges provide a non-slip grip, even with heavy winter gloves.

• Ergonomic Safety: Quick to index and disengage when split seconds count.

Competition Cut Receiver for Lightning-Fast Reloads

Every second matters when a secondary flock drops into view. The receiver on the Element II features a factory competition cut. This deeply contoured loading port removes excess metal from the underside of the frame, creating a smooth, unobstructed path to slide fresh shells into the magazine tube without snagging your fingers.

Premium Barrel Tech and Custom Fit Fitment

Crio Plus Choke System Integration

To ensure tight, uniform patterns, this shotgun utilizes the premium Crio Plus choke thread pattern. It ships directly with standard choke options (including Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full), along with a specialized choke wrench and a dedicated carry case. Whether you are throwing tight turkey patterns or spreading out steel shot for early-season ducks, you can tune your constriction in seconds.

Tailored Comfort and Reduced Recoil

No two shooters are built exactly the same. The Element II includes a set of adjustable stock shims, allowing you to modify the cast and drop for a perfect, custom cheek weld. Combined with an ultra-soft recoil pad and an innovative, tool-less recoil spring assembly housed inside the stock, this shotgun significantly dampens the punch of heavy 3″ magnum hunting loads.
