Modern hunters demand shotguns that blend reliability, adjustability, and intuitive controls. A field-proven inertia system, modular fit, and robust barrel work together to make a single platform suitable for waterfowl, upland, or general-purpose use.

WEATHERBY SORIX brings those elements together in a full-size 12 gauge semi-auto built for versatility.

Design and Ergonomics

The WEATHERBY SORIX sports a 28″ Black Cerakote vent rib barrel and a Midnight Marsh synthetic stock with adjustable shims and textured touch points for a non-slip grip. Built on Weatherby’s field-proven inertia recoil system, it reduces felt recoil without a gas system’s complexity. The receiver is drilled and tapped (8-40 holes) with an aggressive competition cut to speed reloads and accept optics or mounts, while the oversized bolt release (slammer button) and charging handle are placed for fast manipulation. The Shift System allows easy swapping of the charging handle and safety for left-handed operation, making the platform genuinely ambidextrous.

Fit and Adjustability

Stock shims and a soft cheekpiece let shooters dial in a repeatable, comfortable cheek weld across seasons and layers. These tactile features matter in the blind or on long sits where consistent pointing and minimal movement are crucial.

Performance and Choke System

The Sorix uses the Crio Plus choke system and ships with five choke tubes (cylinder, improved cylinder, modified, improved modified, full), plus a choke wrench and carrying case. That kit gives immediate patterning flexibility for dense or open shots, from close flushes to longer-range presentations. The 3.50″ chamber and 2+1 capacity offer compatibility with heavier loads when the situation calls for extra power.

Why Choose 12 Gauge

The 12 gauge remains the most adaptable shotgun caliber: broad ammo selection, proven downrange performance, and reliable patterns with proper chokes. For waterfowl and mixed-field hunting, the 12 gauge paired with the Sorix’s barrel length and choke options provides the reach and pellet density many hunters prefer.
