The Weatherby Sorix in 12 gauge (brand part no. XSL1228SMG) is an inertia-driven semi-automatic shotgun built around a 28-inch barrel with a 3.5-inch magnum chamber, giving hunters full-power versatility from a tube magazine holding two shells plus one in the chamber. Weatherby machines an aggressive competition cut into the receiver for faster reloading and finishes this model in a Slough camo pattern, while an oversized bolt release (slammer button), charging handle, and safety keep the action running in rough conditions. Its Shift System lets shooters swap the charging handle and safety to reconfigure the gun for left-hand use. Among semi-auto shotguns in the semi-auto shotguns category, this Sorix favors hunters who want magnum-chamber versatility with true ambidextrous convertibility.
