- Introducing: The SORIX™ A New Era of Weatherby® Shotguns
We've been producing shotguns for over 50 years and over that course of time, we've identified key features that every user wants to have in their firearm: reliability, endurance, smooth operating, and adaptability. The SORIX embodies these traits and after a year of testing and development, we are proud to announce this revolutionary shotgun.
From the dark skies of Kodiak to the flooded Arkansas timber, the unique hand sponge painted patterns of the SORIX are ready to blend into any environment your adventure might take them. Ergonomic touch points and oversized controls makes for quick shouldering and smooth operation. Additionally, we've added an aggressive competition cut to ensure easier and faster reloading.
The SORIX was designed for all hunters and shooters, even our left-handed customers. Utilizing our SHIFT SYSTEM™, users can easily swap the charging handle and the safety to have a left-handed shotgun experience.
Built on our field-proven inertia recoil system, engineered with precision and tailored for the avid hunter, our all new SORIX boasts an array of features designed to elevate your shooting experience.

That slot on the left is just another entry for debris to get in. Sound probably gets through that acoustic slot also.
I just got my element and 18i this year. I guess I’m gonna have to tell my wife they’re broken and sneak this one in 😂
I have an 18i and a vanguard and love them. Can't wait to add the sorix to my collection 👍
Dude. Lefty controls. Found my next shotgun. Thanks WBY!
Holy cow Adam, is there anyone left from your dad’s era or grandpas era? I remember 60 years ago meeting your grandpa at Elgin Gates house in New Port harbor CA. My mom was Elgins daughters best friend.
Can't wait to get my hands on one!
I have a 12ga deluxe SA-08. I love it. It's so easy to shoot. Pattern is great! Reliable and with the price, you can't best it. And it's got weatherby fit and finish quality.
Thanks for the innovation.
Well done Weatherby team!
Thank you sir!
Muy fascinante arma amigos saludos elegante belleza arma para muy elegante arma magnífica
What Italian company will be doing the work?
Send one to target focused life for a review
it’s a breda b12i T4
My lefty-friends are on their own. I don't want any extra holes in my receiver or anything like that to accommodate someone else. It's my gun not theirs lol
Is the trigger assembly compatible with the 18i? I love my 18i but hate the small safety.
Glad to hear it is made in italy not turkey. Hopefully some italian pump, o/u, and sxs models coming soon as well
So does this gun get the Italian made stamp or is some of the internal parts made in Turkey?
So now dirt and water can get into my receiver from both sides!!
We've field tested this in the harshest conditions over the past year from Alaska to Oregon to Wyoming and to Arkansas and with proper maintenance that should not be an issue.
Looks like a Benelli bolt when you pulled it apart, did Benellis patent expire on the bolt ?
But overall a much nicer and way better ergonomics over any other automatic shotgun on the market.
I might have to switch from Benelli to Weatherby for my shotgun now. 😍
Well, they said the shotguns are made in italy...i'd put money on them having benelli being involved in the manufacturing, in some capacity. Either by having them actually manufacture all or part of the shotgun, or at the minimum providing licensing to use their bolt design.
They’re literally made in the same factory, the 18i bold is the same thing as a benelli too
The element upland I have is the same as the original benelli super black eagle. Can ghost load as well. I left Benelli after 4 out of my last 6 had issues. Weatherby has been bullet proof. Rifles and shotguns.
The patents expired a few years back - hence all the inertias all of a sudden (brownings A5, Turkish stuff). The lefty conversion is pretty innovative
it’s a breda b12I T4
26” barrel option?
Just a 28 inch barrel!
What about the shells and debris being ejected towards you while in left hand. Plus that extra hole to get junk into.
shhh...you're not supposed to notice that part.
Resembles Fabarms?
🇪🇨🇪🇨👍
Will it have that damned Weatherby Click, I mean Benelli click?
Benelli fixed that problem a while back. This does appear to be the same bolt as the SBE 3
Looks great. However, swapping a charging handle and a safety bolt does not make it a safe left hand operated shotgun. Incase of malfunction or if the gun ever blows up, the right handed shotgun will expel most of the debris and shrapnel to the right side making it after for the right handed shooter. This one with open slots on each side is safe for neither the right nor the left handed shooters.
CRIO chokes?
Looks like Mobil chokes hard to tell though
Like that it's Italian, not Turkish 👍. Inertia 👍👍
Why bother to call it left handed if the only thing you switched was the bolt handle and safety? Still has right side loading and ejection… which is the biggest problem for left handed shooters… that ejection going right in front of your face! FAIL.
I like the shotgun but the left dide slot is a dealbreaker, no way do i want another entry point for debris to enter the action...I think if this was a good idea shotgun makers would have done it long ago as its not really a novel idea
Im all about weatherby. !! But first hand from prolonged field use those fancy paintjobs dont hold up long. End up looking terrible. Better off putting a rough texture bedliner type coating on it . Last forever and it dont look terrible after cpl seasons. Just an opinion of a weatherby fan. Rocking a few weatherby now. The paint gota change its bad !!!!
Sorry not worth the money. This is a right handed shotgun with a right side ejection. Yes you can change the safety and the charging handle, but in the end you still have the empties shooting across the gunners eyes. The two lefties in my household don't want a right handed gun that sort of works for lefties. They'd rather get the Ithaca 37 (where a simple change converts the safety to left hand) or browning BPS (tang safety) and have the empties eject into a pile somewhere between 2.5- 3 feet in front of them. Also both the browning and the Ithaca come in at a few dollars cheaper than this shotgun.
Lost me at inertia
Why another INERTIA gun? Too much felt recoil, compared to that of a good gas operated gun...
Because people are stupid and keep falling for the “it runs dirty!” Marketing.
@@chevyon37syou mean a shotgun that’s more reliable and much simpler and easier to clean or disassemble as well as being lighter in the hand and quicker to point, is a bad thing?
I love how gas guys can’t admit how dirty their guns get. I’ve had both and it’s not even close how reliable my inertia guns are vs gas…and yes, that’s without even mentioning how dirty they get. Pain in the ass cleaning them and how often you’ll have to do it - if not in the field. You’re not fooling anyone when you say otherwise.
@@jamesflowers940 My browning maxus is lighter and points better than a Benelli SBE3 and is extremely simple to break down and maintain. I’ve got multiple of both gas and inertia powered shotguns the difference in complexity is minimal. And cleaning a gas gun takes minimal effort more. I’ve also never had any sort of cycling issue related to a dirty gas system. However I sure have had more cycling problems related to spring issues in an inertia guns. Oh no, pull the barrel and wipe off the mag tube and piston assembly. It’s as simple as that. Oh yeah and it’s got less recoil than an inertia gun.
@@OG_Ghost All that extra recoil of an inertia gun is getting to you head bud. Yeah a gas gun will get dirtier, but it’s stupid easy to clean. Wet the carbon with cleaner and wipe it away. Maybe scrub with a brush if there is hard build up that doesn’t wipe away. The extra effort for cleaning a gas gun is minimal, and well worth the decrease in recoil you get from bleeding gas off. I’ve never had a gas gun get dirty enough to have cycling problems. The reason gas guns have an unreliable reputation is from Remington using a gas system with a rubber O-ring that would cause cycling issues when the rubber got old and dried out. Modern gas guns use steel sealing rings and it’s a non issue. And require no more frequent maintenance than a inertia driven gun. I’ve got plenty examples of both types, and personally had more cycling issues with inertia driven guns. Not to mention gas guns especially when looking at shotguns designed for waterfowl hunting do a lot better job of cycling light weight target and dove loads. And that you can’t argue, hell even many of the inertia gun owners manuals state you must use heavy target loads for reliable operation. My gas guns are less ammo picky.
Looks like a wanna be benelli to me
