Weatherby EU21228PGM Element 2 3" 3-Round Shotgun

The Weatherby EU21228PGM Element 2 Upland 12 Gauge is purpose-built for serious upland hunters who demand reliability, handling, and field durability in one proven platform. This semi-automatic shotgun combines modern ergonomics with tactical refinement, making it equally at home in open fields pursuing pheasant and quail or in tighter cover. At 8.7 pounds with a 28-inch barrel, it delivers the balance and swing speed that matter when flushing birds over multiple hours afield.

Built on Weatherby's proven Element platform, this 3-inch 12 gauge features a 2+1 magazine capacity that keeps you loaded without excessive weight. The Hydrodipped Realtree Max-7 finish provides proven camouflage in natural terrain while protecting the steel and aluminum surfaces from harsh weather and brush contact. Oversized controls—including an enlarged safety, charging handle, and slammer button—ensure positive manipulation even with gloved hands in cold season conditions. The adjustable stock shims allow field-expedient fit adjustment, critical for comfort and accuracy during extended shooting sessions. Included Crio Plus chokes provide versatile shot pattern management for various upland game at typical hunting distances.

This shotgun benefits hunters who log multiple seasons and demand a semi-automatic that cycles reliably in wet, cold, and dirty field conditions. The 28-inch barrel length strikes the ideal compromise between sight radius and maneuverability in moderate cover, while the 3-inch chamber accepts both 2.75-inch and 3-inch loads for flexible ammunition selection. Whether you're working grassland edges, CRP fields, or creek bottoms, the Element 2 Upland's ergonomic design and proven gas system keep you in the field longer with less fatigue—a tangible advantage over a full season of hunts.
