Choke Tube Guide
Our Element® Semi-Auto Shotgun brings together the signature fit and finish of a Weatherby with our “inertia-operated” action. The result is a performance that is clean, smooth, and ready for round after round of high volume shooting. What is it about wings that gets our hearts beating like they do? Whether it’s the thunder of a Ruffed Grouse flushing, the whistle of Goldeneyes buzzing the dekes, or the howl of Mallards on set wings slicing through a head wind and sounding like an F15 at mach-10. The Element Upland fits like an extension of yourself; cycling shells with 100% inertia-operated dependability.

I have the 20ga. The wood is absolutely beautiful. The performance has been flawless. The Element points great for me and the recoil is easy on the shoulder. It’s a joy to shoot! The reason I give it only 4 stars is that the safety is really small and I don’t particularly like that. The trigger pull is also a bit long from the grip to trigger, but this has not been noticeable during the heat of the moment. Overall a great gun and excellent value for the money!!!! Wish I had a synthetic stock to save the beautiful walnut!!

I bought this gun from a dealer that told me it was a great gun for the price. He was right on!

I have Barettas and Benellis, but the element is my favorite. Fits me perfect, never had an ejection failure. Even though it is inertia driven , it shoots very soft. I never feel comfortable hunting with a 2000.00 shotgun. Its hard to say who makes the best shotgun, because it is so subjective, but for me, this Is it. Out of my 12 semi autos, I grab the element every time.

2 Duck, Dove, and Squirrel Seasons in, never have an ejection failure or misfire. Been muddy, wet, and put in the sand. Still shot fine. Clean regularly and this gun will pay for itself in harvest meat.

Been eyeballing this gun for sometime and finally placed my order with Dahlonega Armory. So many positive reviews and many by experts who place this on the same level as Franchi Affinity and Benelli Montefeltro

Right out of box this 20ga shot fantastic at the sporting clays club. No misfires or ejection issues. Easy to clean!! Fit and finish was excellent. This was one of the first Weatherby’s at this club.

I have taken mine skeet shooting and dove hunted Sept first here in Texas. I have shot about 550 shells with no failures at all. I absolutely love this shotgun and have no regrets, it has performed well over my other buddies guns. The wood is beautiful as well.
