The Weatherby Element II Upland Compact 20 gauge semi-auto shotgun is purpose-built for hunters with a smaller frame who don't want to compromise on performance or field capability. This nimble 20-gauge delivers the reliability of Weatherby's proven inertia recoil system in a package that prioritizes comfort and control—a genuine advantage if you spend long days moving through brush, timber, or open country. The 24-inch barrel with ventilated rib keeps the gun handy without sacrificing shot patterns, and the fixed walnut stock pairs classic aesthetics with practical durability.
What sets the Element II Upland Compact apart is its thoughtful ergonomics. The 13.2-inch length of pull is sized for shooters who find full-size shotguns awkward at the shoulder, and oversized controls mean you can operate the safety, bolt release, and charging handle even with gloved hands or in bad light. The competition-cut receiver speeds up reloads—a real asset if you hunt behind pointing dogs or need fast follow-up shots. The Crio Plus choke system arrives with three interchangeable chokes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full) plus a wrench and carrying case, so you're ready to adapt to different game and cover the moment you open the box.
Maintenance is refreshingly simple: the recoil spring comes out without tools, making field cleaning and end-of-season care straightforward enough that you'll actually do it. The two-tone receiver and barrel finish over oil-rubbed walnut wood strikes a balance between subdued field aesthetics and a gun you're proud to carry. At 3 inches chamber with a 2+1 capacity, this is a legitimate hunting shotgun, not a toy—it'll cycle the loads you rely on and hold enough ammunition for practical upland and driven-bird work.

Yes. The Element II Upland Compact is specifically designed for upland game with a 24-inch barrel and quick-handling compact profile. The 3-inch chamber and inertia recoil system handle standard and magnum 20-gauge loads, and the included three-choke set (IC, Mod, Full) lets you adapt to different cover and distances in the field.
Length of pull—measured from the trigger to the end of the stock—is 13.2 inches on this Compact model, shorter than full-size shotguns. Shooters with a smaller frame, younger hunters, and some women find a shorter LOP more comfortable at the shoulder and easier to mount and control quickly. It reduces reach and eliminates the need to stretch, making the gun faster to point and faster to shoot accurately.
The Element II Upland Compact ships with three Crio Plus choke tubes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full), a choke wrench for safe installation and removal, and a carrying case for transport and storage.
Maintenance is straightforward. The recoil spring assembly comes out without tools, so you can quickly disassemble the gun for cleaning after a day in the field or for end-of-season care. This tool-less design means you're more likely to actually perform routine maintenance.
