Description
Turkey hunting rewards a gun that points fast, hides well, and goes bang every single time. That is exactly the brief Weatherby handed its engineers with the Sorix Turkey. This 12 gauge runs on the same inertia-driven action as the rest of the Sorix line, a system tuned over years of spring rate testing to cycle everything from lighter field loads up to heavy 3.5-inch magnum turkey shells. The 24-inch vent rib barrel keeps overall length down to a handy 45 inches, so swinging on a gobbler inside a blind or threading through thick cover never feels like a wrestling match. At around 7 pounds, it carries well on those long walks between listening spots.
Sighting and Choke Setup Done Right on the Sorix Turkey
Weatherby put real thought into the aiming end of this gun. The stepped rib carries an integrated flip-up rear sight paired with a fiber optic front bead, giving you a proper sight picture for placing tight modern turkey patterns exactly where they need to go. Prefer a red dot? The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting an optic takes minutes. A Trulock extended turkey choke comes in the box, and the barrel uses the Crio Plus choke pattern with five additional chokes included, which means this gun pulls double duty for waterfowl or upland birds once turkey season wraps up.
Built for Gloved Hands and Both Shoulders
Everything you touch on the Sorix Turkey is oversized, from the safety and charging handle to the bolt release, so cold fingers and gloves are not a problem on frosty spring mornings. Weatherby's Shift System lets left-handed hunters swap the charging handle and reverse the safety for a true southpaw setup. The fixed synthetic stock wears Mossy Oak Bottomland camo with textured grip panels and a soft cheekpiece, and stock shims let you dial in cast and fit. Cerakote on the receiver and barrel shrugs off the rain and mud that spring hunts always seem to deliver. Built in Italy with final fit and inspection handled in Sheridan, Wyoming, this is a purpose-built gobbler gun that earns its spot in the truck every April.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Weatherby Sorix Turkey come with a choke tube?
Yes, and then some. It ships with a Trulock extended turkey choke designed to throw tight, consistent patterns with modern turkey loads. You also get five additional Crio Plus chokes, so the gun is set up for other bird seasons without buying anything extra.
Can I mount a red dot on the Sorix Turkey?
You can. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so it accepts standard optic mounts without any gunsmithing. If you prefer irons, the stepped rib includes a flip-up rear sight and fiber optic front bead that work great for precise pattern placement.
Is the Sorix Turkey a good fit for left-handed hunters?
It is one of the better options out there for lefties. Weatherby's Shift System lets you move the charging handle to the left side of the receiver and reverse the safety, giving left-handed users the same control layout a righty enjoys. No special left-hand model needed.
Will the inertia action cycle lighter loads or just heavy turkey shells?
Weatherby spent years tuning the spring rates in the Sorix inertia system, and it runs a wide range of ammunition, from lighter small game loads up to heavy 3.5-inch magnums. That flexibility makes practice sessions easier on the shoulder and lets the gun serve beyond turkey season.
