Weatherby, a manufacturer of some of the world’s finest firearms, is offering two new waterfowl shotgun models in Realtree camo options. Both shotgun models are designed for shooters who need and expect superior reliability during a day of high-volume shooting.

 

Weatherby is proud to be able to offer Realtree camouflage on our inertia-operated semi-auto waterfowl shotguns in both the 18i and Element lines. The workhorse of these is definitely the Element Waterfowler, which gains a level of protection from Mother Nature with the addition of the camo dip, which serves as one more layer to seal out the elements. The addition of a quality camouflage pattern makes these hardy, hard-working shotguns a perfect fit in the goose pit or duck boat.
