Weatherby element

Anyone have one they can comment on? They appear to be a solid gun, but online reviews are sparse.

great gun ...but my understanding is the turkey version (bottomland 22in) is not drilled and tapped from the factory.. which I don't understand for a turkey-specific gun.

I have one and it patterns great with an IC .562 tss 9's (315 to 333 in the 10)  The factory bead is spot on. The finish seems to be a high quality. Ill see how it holds up. The rubber or whatever it is they used for the grip is fantastic. Cycles fine. The only thing that I dont like about the gun is the weight. Its a 6lb gun.

I took mine out for its first hunt this morning, I really like it, It's one of my favorite 20's. I patterned it with Fed heavyweight 6's and stock choke and it shot extremely well, I then decided to actually use a red dot so I took gun last night up to my camp and patterned it, sighted it in with the same shells and tss 7's with a trulock .560 and won't be changing anything, I bought 10 boxes of the Fed hwy 6's and have 9 boxes and 2 shells left, so I'll be using them and tss 7's for the next few years. I didn't take any pictures of patterns. I had it d&t for a sumtoy red dot mount. I had 11 jakes walk by me at 9 yards, yesterday the tom was behind them but a little out of range, he was not behind them today, his lucky day.

Good to know on the trulock. I planned on picking one up just havent yet. I have a few pounds of tss 7's and 8's left to use up. They are nice guns for the money for sure. Good luck to you!!

Thank you all, great feedback.

How is the trigger on these guns and are there any spring kits to lighten them available?

VERY NICE. For the money, it may be the best auto 20 on the market today. I have worked with multiple guys out of town who swear by them. I have a couple of buddies from home who have them and absolutely love them as well. They leave their Benelli's at home most times and carry the Element. I'm probably going to pick one up at some point myself. But that not being D/T bugs me. That is a five to ten dollar expense as it comes down the assembly line that they ought to just tack onto the final price and get it done from the factory.

The gun is listed at 43.75" - Can you do me a big favor please and tell me if that gun is 43.25" to the end of the barrel or to the end of the included factory extended turkey choke that comes with the gun? Thanks
