The Weatherby Sorix is a 20 gauge semi-automatic shotgun built on a proven inertia recoil system and engineered for hunters who demand reliable performance in the field. This full-size model chambers 3" shells with a 2+1 capacity, pairs a 28" vented rib barrel with a drilled and tapped steel receiver, and ships ready for optics or sight upgrades. The Mossy Oak Bottomland synthetic stock with adjustable shim lets you dial in fit and drop, while the ambidextrous design—including switchable charging handle and safety via the SHIFT SYSTEM—makes it equally at home in right- or left-handed hands.
Handling is fast and intuitive. An aggressive competition-style cut on the receiver speeds reloads, and oversized controls (bolt release, charging handle, safety) stay responsive even when gloved or in difficult conditions. Cerakote finish on the receiver, barrel, and top rib resists corrosion; the hand-painted stock adds durability without fuss. The gun ships with choke tubes covering the spread from Cylinder to Full, so you're prepared for everything from close-range brush hunting to pass shooting.
Whether you're working waterfowl, upland birds, or clay courses, the Sorix delivers the speed and adaptability modern hunters expect. The 20 gauge recoil is notably softer than its 12 gauge cousins, making it ideal for extended days afield or younger shooters who want genuine power without the pound. The drilled and tapped receiver opens the door to red dots, slug scopes, or other accessories without gunsmithing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert the Sorix from right-handed to left-handed operation?
Yes. The SHIFT SYSTEM allows you to swap the charging handle and safety to accommodate left-handed shooters, making the Sorix truly ambidextrous without requiring any permanent modifications.
Is the receiver drilled and tapped for scope or red dot mounting?
Yes. The steel receiver comes drilled and tapped, so you can mount optics, red dots, or other accessories without gunsmithing.
What choke tubes are included?
The Sorix ships with five chokes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full, giving you flexibility for hunting different birds and distances or shooting clay targets.
What finish protects the barrel and receiver?
Both the barrel and receiver are finished in Cerakote, which resists corrosion and weathering in the field. The stock is hand-painted for durability.
