Weatherby element

[bigdrumnc]

Headed my way from buds.  I plan on shooting apex #9s.  What Trulock choke is recommended or sumtoy for that matter? I see trulock had a federal tss choke and a pinhoti.  I am not looking for absolute maximum distance.  Thank you.  I can't wait for next season.  I plan to use a meadow creek mount for the optic.  I am pretty pleased how it works on my benelli.

I got a .575 trulock non ported. I haven't shot it yet but have a .585 on my franchi and love the pattern...just wanted to try the .575 for an even pattern out to 50. I don't like them super tight

I would have to try a Sumtoy .562 or .575. With the 562 being the tightest I would go/suggest.

Looks like weatherby did some good market research and slid their price right in the sweet spot. If this gun is as good as all of the reviews I see than better get one before they bump the price up like franchi did with the affinity 3.

 I got one and used it last spring, My son hunts with it also. Great shooter and I didn't worry with drilling and tapping. I purchased a meadow creek mount and really like it! The Weatherby Element is a great turkey gun.

Exactly why I bought the Element 20 - I love Franchi and have an Affinity 3 in 12 GA and it's a straight up shooter - it's definitely worth even the increased price point - but while shopping around on GunBroker I saw this Element and reflexively purchased.  Completely involuntary action but I'm not complaining.

I purchased a 20ga Element this past August and was able to do something with it I have seldom done. With the first box of shells (#7.5 Winchester 7/8oz) I harvested 15 Dove with 22 shells. The first time I pulled it out of the box. Needless to say, I am a happy camper. I have since duck hunted with similar results and am looking forward to patterning some turkey loads with it for this spring. It's a solid buy. Good gun and well made.

I have the .560 pinhoti with the trak on it in the gun, It shot very well with stock choke as well, I didn't buy the choke for this gun, I had it, I actually bought it to use in a few others but never tried it because I didn't need too. I am 110% happy with it. I don't think you can go wrong with a sumtoy or trulock.

What shells did you run through the stock choke. I was a little disappointed to see that's it's not rated for tss.

LOP shim? What are the length options?

[Manager8]

This one's definitely on my radar thanks for the feedback looks like it already comes drilled and tapped

[RoyalKnight]

Why did Weatherby discontinue this gun? I guess they didnt sell well. havent turkey hunted in a few years but I am fired up this year about it.

[bigdrumnc]

I am not sure they discontinued it?  It's a great gun!

[RoyalKnight]

Website says it's discontinued. I like mine!!

[bigdrumnc]

Ya lol if that's the case I am glad I got mine when I did.
