Weatherby Element II DUX 12 Ga 28 in. – Reliable Shotgun

Description

The Weatherby Element II DUX 12 Ga 28 in. is an inertia-driven 12 gauge semi-automatic waterfowl shotgun with a 28 inch barrel, a 3 inch chamber and full DUX Camo coverage. Built in collaboration with DUX, it ships with Crio Plus chokes, including a gold extended Mid Range choke.

Weatherby Element II DUX 12 Ga 28 in. Overview

Weatherby teamed up with DUX, the waterfowl content and gear brand, to build a special edition Element II for hardcore duck and goose hunters. The stock is hydro-dipped in DUX Camo, and the receiver, barrel and top rib carry the same pattern so the gun disappears in the blind. Oversized controls, including an enlarged slammer button, charging handle and safety, are easy to run with cold, wet or gloved hands. Inside, the field proven inertia recoil system keeps the action clean and cycling reliably.

The receiver has a slight competition cut for easier loading, and the flat rib barrel carries a fiber optic front sight for quick target pickup in low light. Adjustable stock shims let you tune cast and fit, the stock has textured touch points and a soft cheekpiece, and the recoil spring nut inside the stock is tool-less for easy maintenance. 5 inch length of pull.

Crio Plus Chokes

The Element II uses the Crio Plus choke system. This DUX edition includes improved cylinder, modified and full chokes plus a gold extended Mid Range choke, along with a choke wrench and a carrying case. Use improved cylinder for decoying birds, modified for most passing shots and the Mid Range or full for longer shots on geese.

Inertia Reliability in the Marsh

Inertia actions use recoil energy rather than gas to cycle, so there is no gas system to foul with carbon or mud. That makes the Element II easy to keep running through a long season of wet, dirty mornings. Keep the bolt lightly lubricated and wipe the gun down after each hunt.

Capacity and Waterfowl Rules

The Element II DUX ships with a 2+1 capacity, which keeps it legal for migratory bird hunting right out of the box. Always check federal and state waterfowl regulations, including nontoxic shot requirements, before you hunt.

Choosing Shells

Pattern your shotgun with several loads at the distances you expect to shoot, since every barrel and choke combination behaves differently. Use the right shot size for your game or target and follow local rules on nontoxic shot where required.

Fit and Mounting

A shotgun that fits lets you look straight down the rib with your cheek firmly on the stock. Practice smooth gun mounts at home with an unloaded gun to build consistency in the field and on the clay range.

Care and Maintenance

Clean the bore, chokes and action after each outing, especially after rain or salt water. A light coat of oil on metal parts and a clean action keep the shotgun running reliably for years.

Choke Selection

Tighter chokes such as modified and full extend effective range for waterfowl and turkey, while improved cylinder and skeet chokes open patterns for close birds and clay targets. Always use chokes rated for the shot you are shooting, especially steel.

Recommended Accessories

Eye and ear protection, a cleaning kit, extra choke tubes and a padded case are smart additions. Hunters may want a sling, while clay shooters often add a shell pouch and recoil reducing pad.
