I purchased the Weatherby 18i waterfowler to replace three shotguns. I had used for 25 years. The shotguns replaced were a . Remington 1100 for dove and quail, a Mossberg 935, 3 1/2” chambers handled only magnum loads fir ducks and geese and lastly a Browning O/U for upland game birds.
This Weatherby inertia 18i is superb. The Weatherby 18i handles 2 3/4 low brass dove and quail loads, 2 3/4” hi- brass loads and both 3” Turkey loads and Bismuth 3 1/2 “ heavy shot Goose loads. I am supremely happy to own thud Italian made Marocchi shotgun made to Weatherby standards. Strictly a great shotgun at a highly affordable price point

I purchased the Weatherby 18i Waterfowler just in time for the 2021 dove pre-season. Shotgun performed well with 2-3/4in shell, 1-1/8oz, size 6 & 7-1/2 steel shot for doves. I love having up to 3.5in option to give me more variety in ammo selection for all upland/waterfowl hunting. So far I’m overall pleased with the reliability, weight, durability, and look of this shotgun.

Absolutely love the new 18i. Shot lots of ducks and geese with it now and operates flawlessly, even in miserable conditions
