Owners of the Element 2 Waterfowl appreciate the full Realtree Max-7 coverage, which provides practical concealment in marsh and flooded timber settings. The 20 gauge platform keeps the gun light enough for long walks to the blind, and the semi-automatic action handles steel and non-toxic loads without regular adjustment.

The 2+1 capacity is a recurring point of discussion. Many waterfowl hunters are accustomed to 3-round plugged guns anyway, but buyers who want a higher-capacity tube magazine before plugging note the limitation compared to some competitors. The fiber optic front sight is generally praised for visibility in low-light conditions.

At its price tier the Element 2 Waterfowl is considered good value. The Realtree Max-7 finish holds up to wet field conditions in most owner accounts, though a few note the hydrodip finish can show wear at contact points over time. Weatherby's warranty is seen as a positive backstop for that concern.
