Weatherby Sorix 12ga 28in Bottomland Shotgun

The Weatherby Sorix: Purpose-Built for Modern Hunters

Weatherby's Sorix represents a thoughtful evolution in shotgun design—engineered from the ground up for hunters who demand reliability, speed, and versatility in the field.

Inertia-Driven Performance

The Sorix employs Weatherby's field-proven inertia recoil system, a design philosophy that prioritizes simplicity and reliability. This approach means fewer moving parts, easier maintenance, and consistent performance across a wide range of ammunition loads.

Ambidextrous Design

One of the Sorix's defining features is its Shift System, which allows shooters to swap the charging handle and safety lever from right to left configuration. This isn't an afterthought—it's a genuine commitment to left-handed shooters who deserve equipment designed for them, not adapted for them.

Operational Excellence

• Oversized controls—bolt release button, charging handle, and safety—ensure reliable operation in cold, wet, or demanding conditions
