There is something about Shadow Grass camo that just feels right in a duck blind, and Weatherby leaned into that with this version of the SORIX. Underneath the retro Mossy Oak pattern is a thoroughly modern 20 gauge autoloader, built in Italy around Weatherby's inertia recoil system. Inertia guns run clean since combustion gases stay out of the action, so maintenance is quick and the gun keeps cycling when it is cold, wet, and muddy. Weatherby spent real time tuning spring rates on this platform, so it handles a wide spread of loads through its 3 inch chamber, and at roughly 6.5 pounds it carries easily on long walks to the blind.
The SORIX gets the details right where it counts on a cold morning. The oversized safety, charging handle, and slammer style bolt release are easy to run with numb fingers or bulky gloves, and the aggressive competition cut on the receiver opens up the loading port for fast, snag-free reloads. Up top, a stepped vent rib with an LPA fiber optic front sight gets your eye on birds quickly, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped with 8-40 holes if you ever want to mount an optic. The 28 inch barrel wears the Crio Plus choke system, and five tubes come in the box covering cylinder through full.
Weatherby's SHIFT System is a standout feature here. The receiver is machined on both sides, so left-handed hunters can swap the charging handle over and reverse the safety without a gunsmith visit. That is a rare thing in this category and makes the SORIX an easy pick for households where righties and lefties share a gun.
Adjustable stock shims let you fine-tune cast and drop for a proper fit, and the synthetic stock has textured grip points plus a soft cheekpiece and recoil pad that keep 3 inch waterfowl loads comfortable. Add the Cerakote-coated barrel and receiver, and you have a 20 gauge that shrugs off marsh weather season after season.
Yes, and it is one of the best options out there for lefties. The SHIFT System lets you move the charging handle to the left side of the receiver and reverse the crossbolt safety without any gunsmithing. Once swapped, the gun runs just as smoothly for a left-handed user as it does for a righty.
Weatherby tuned the spring rates on this inertia action to run a broad range of ammo through its 3 inch chamber, from small game loads up to heavy magnum waterfowl shells. Like most inertia-driven sub-gauge guns, it is happiest with standard field loads and heavier. If you plan on shooting very light target loads, expect the action to appreciate a break-in period first.
You can. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with 8-40 holes to accept standard mounts, so it is optics-ready out of the box. If you prefer irons, the stepped vent rib and LPA fiber optic front sight are quick to pick up on fast-moving birds.
The SORIX is manufactured in Italy, and the metalwork is protected with a durable Cerakote finish on the barrel, receiver, and rib. This Shadow Grass model wears one of Mossy Oak's most popular retro patterns on the synthetic stock and forend, a classic look for the marsh.
