Description

If you’re a turkey hunter who demands a fast-handling shotgun that patterns tight and cycles clean, the Weatherby Sorix Turkey XTB2024MAG 24″ 3.5″ Semi-Auto is a fine choice for the Southern woods. This compact inertia-driven gun chambers the big 3.5-inch shells, yet stays light on the shoulder for those long morning walks to the roost. It’s built for the man who wants one clean shot—and a quick follow-up if that old gobbler decides to run.

Key Features

• Inertia-Driven Action — Why it matters: This system uses recoil energy to cycle the action, meaning fewer moving parts and less fouling. You get reliable feeding with heavy turkey loads or lighter target shells, and it cleans up quick after a dusty morning in the field.
• 24-Inch Vent-Rib Barrel — Why it matters: A shorter barrel keeps the gun swing quick through thick cover and makes shouldering smooth from a seated position against a tree. The vent rib helps you track a moving bird without lifting your head.
• 3.5-Inch Chamber — Why it matters: You can shoot the heaviest magnum turkey loads—up to 3.5 inches—for maximum pattern density at longer ranges. It also handles 2.75- and 3-inch shells if you’re shooting clays or doves.
• Ambidextrous Controls — Why it matters: The safety and bolt release are positioned for both right- and left-handed shooters. If you loan the gun to a buddy or hunt with a southpaw, nobody has to fumble with awkward levers.
• Multiple Choke Tubes Included — Why it matters: Weatherby ships this gun with a set of chokes so you can fine-tune your pattern for the distance and load you’re using. Swap from an extra-full turkey choke to a modified for pheasants or doves in seconds.

Who It’s For

This shotgun is built for the Southern turkey hunter who walks a mile before sunrise, sits still until the woods wake up, and wants a gun that doesn’t weigh him down. It’s also a fine choice for the bird hunter who needs one shotgun that can handle turkeys in the spring and doves in the fall—just swap the choke and shell. If you’re a left-handed shooter, the ambi controls make this a rare find in the turkey gun world.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: The inertia action cycles reliably with heavy 3.5-inch loads and lighter target shells—no gas system to clean or adjust.
• Pro: The Mossy Oak Bottomland camo blends into Southern hardwoods and pine thickets without looking like a cheap wrap.
• Con: The fixed stock means you can’t adjust length of pull or comb height. If you’re a shorter or taller shooter, you may need to add a pad or have a gunsmith fit it.

Comparison vs. Competitors

The Weatherby Sorix splits the difference between the premium Benelli and the budget Stoeger. It gives you a 3.5-inch chamber and ambi controls that the Benelli lacks, at a lower price point. The Stoeger is lighter and cheaper, but its 3-inch chamber limits your shell options for long-range turkeys.
