The Weatherby Sorix Turkey is a compact 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun built on an inertia recoil action, with a 24-inch vent rib barrel and a 3.5-inch chamber. It holds 2 rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber and is finished in burnt bronze Cerakote over a Mossy Oak Bottomland synthetic stock. The receiver is ambidextrous, letting the charging handle and safety be reconfigured for left-handed use.

Turkey hunters who pick up the Sorix Turkey tend to focus on how quick and light it carries in the woods, since a compact 12 gauge built for still hunting lives or dies on handling. The inertia action generally draws positive marks for reliable cycling, though as with any inertia gun some owners note it needs a firm mount to cycle properly with lighter turkey loads.

The Mossy Oak Bottomland finish and burnt bronze Cerakote draw compliments for blending into spring woods, and the ambidextrous controls stand out to left-handed hunters used to shotguns built right-handed only. The oversized bolt release and competition-style receiver opening make reloading in a blind easier than fumbling with a smaller port.

Overall impressions on value split between hunters who see the Cerakote finish and swappable controls as worth the price and those who compare it to older Weatherby turkey guns and note differences in fit and finish. The included turkey chokes are appreciated since many buyers would otherwise have to source them separately.
