The Weatherby Sorix XSL1228SMG delivers reliable semi-automatic performance for waterfowl hunters demanding versatility in challenging conditions. This 12-gauge platform handles 3.5-inch magnum loads with consistent cycling while maintaining the balance needed for extended field sessions.

What Makes This Different

The Sorix features a steel receiver that's been drilled and tapped for optics mounting, eliminating the need for aftermarket modifications. The burnt bronze Cerakote finish on the 28-inch ventilated rib barrel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued finishes. The ambidextrous design accommodates both left and right-handed shooters without requiring separate components or modifications.
