Weatherby Element Synthetic and Waterfowler Max-5 shotguns couple reliable inertia-operated semiauto action with durable Griptonite® stocks and forends. The receiver is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. Offered in 12 and 20 gauge with 3-inch chambers in 26- and 28-inch barrels. Improved Cylinder, Modified, Full, and Long Range Steel screw-in choke tubes included. The inertia-operated action directs carbon and gas out of the barrel, helping to keep the gun clean and functioning smoothly shot after shot. Chamber, bore, bolt head and carrier all chrome-lined for easier cleaning and corrosion resistance. The dual-purpose bolt release lets you unload shells safely from the magazine without chambering them first.

Synthetic comes in a matte bead-blasted finish; Waterfowler comes clad in Realtree® Max-5® camo. Synthetic MSRP $749; Waterfowler $849. Contact: Weatherby, Dept.

Millennium Marine R-Series Spyderlock four-rod holder provides plenty of room for quick pick-up and also lets you individually adjust the height of all rods and lock them in with a patented teeth system. Side-to-side angle also locks into place with a grooved turret. Crossbar rotates 360 degrees, and each holder rotates 360 degrees, so you can lock in any angles you want. The pedestal is adjustable for a crossbar height from 12 to 20 inches, and the pedestal baseplate sits flush to the deck so you won’t be stubbing your toe. You need no tools for adjustments, and the entire pedestal removes easily at the end of the day without tools. Made of heavy-duty anodized aluminum. Contact: Millennium Marine, Dept.
