The Weatherby Sorix Hush is a 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun (brand part no. XSH1228SMG) built around Weatherby’s field-proven inertia recoil system, engineered for hunters who want precision and reliability without the upkeep of a gas gun. A 3.5-inch magnum chamber lets it run everything from standard field loads to heavy turkey and waterfowl shells. An aggressive competition-cut receiver speeds up reloads, while an oversized bolt release button, charging handle, and safety keep the gun running smoothly in cold hands or bad weather. Weatherby’s SHIFT System lets shooters swap the charging handle and safety to the opposite side, making the Sorix Hush a genuine option for left-handed hunters. Finished with Cerakote on the receiver, barrel, and top rib over a hand-painted stock, it is built to handle hard use season after season.
