The Element takes standard Browning Invector style choke tubes. It has what I consider to be the best stock feel, Weatherby's Griptonite layer of rubber over the thermoplastic stock. Made by ATA of Turkey, it is essentially the ATA Neo, but with Weatherby's added quality control. While most synthetic inertia guns are right at seven pounds, the Weatherby as tested is a bit heavier than most at 7-1/4 pounds. The Weatherby Element Waterfowler in 12 gauge can be had for a low as $630.

If low initial purchase price is your primary goal, the Weatherby Element wins. The lowest-priced shotgun of these four models is not a matter of opinion the Weatherby Element clearly is the bargain of the batch. These economies lower the price by $300 - $400 as compared to the standard M2 Comfortech models, a substantial amount, so if you like the way it fits you, it is worth a look. It doesn't have the Comfortech stock, but instead has a conventional, less flexible thermoplastic stock in its place along with a cheaper recoil pad. It is the stripper version of the M2, coming in a cardboard box with just one choke tube. The recently introduced Benelli American M2 sneaks in at just under $1000, often discount priced at $949 - $999. Here is a look at several inertia guns that are worthy of your consideration in 12 gauge, 3 inch chamber trim. The firearms industry is doing just that.Īs a result of the greatly increased competition, inertia guns are now more affordable than ever before. Anyone who wants to make an inertia gun can do so, without licensing fees or legal entanglements. The Bruno Civolani patents, originally purchased by Benelli and then acquired by Beretta when Beretta acquired Benelli, have expired. What folks don't particularly love is paying $1700 or more for a very cheap to produce plastic shotgun, even if it supposed to be made of highly polished plastic by old world craftsmen. What many people like about recoil-operated "inertia action" autoloading shotguns is the very low maintenance. The Best sub-$1000 Inertia Shotguns (Based on Fall 2017 Prices)
