The SORIX is built on Weatherby’s field-proven inertia recoil system, renowned for its simplicity and robustness, making it highly maintainable while performing at peak levels. This system, refined through extensive testing and tuning of spring rates, effectively handles a broad range of loads from light small game to heavy magnum. Available in 12 ga with 3” or 3.5” chambers and 20 ga with a 3” chamber, the SORIX caters to various hunting preferences. Engineered for the avid hunter, it incorporates features to enhance the shooting experience. Constructed in Italy, the SORIX leverages a proven inertia-driven action. Weatherby’s collaboration with experienced overseas manufacturers has fine-tuned the spring rates to ensure reliable cycling of both heavy goose loads and low-brass trap and teal ammo, with minimal felt recoil. Key features include an extra-large bolt-release button and oversized charging handle for easy operation with gloved hands, a synthetic stock with stippling for a secure grip, and a soft-touch comb-piece for comfort. The stock is hand-painted in three natural colorways: Midnight Marsh, Storm, and Slough, with matching Cerakoted barrel and receiver. A unique feature of the SORIX is the “Shift System,” a long cut along the left side of the receiver allowing the bolt handle to be easily swapped to the left side, making it more user-friendly for left-handed shooters. The safety is also reversible. While not a true left-handed shotgun, this system significantly enhances usability for southpaws, making the SORIX a versatile and adaptable choice for waterfowl hunting.
