Weatherby 12 Gauge 3" 3-Round Cerakote Shotgun

The Weatherby XMM1228MAG Sorix is a full-size 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun engineered for hunters and tactical shooters who demand reliability, ergonomics, and versatility in the field. Built on Weatherby's field-proven inertia recoil system, the Sorix delivers consistent cycling performance across a wide range of ammunition loads, from light target rounds to full-power 3-inch magnum shells. This semi-auto platform is ideal for waterfowl and upland game hunting, clay shooting, and home defense applications where dependable operation and quick follow-up shots are critical.

The 28-inch barrel features a ventilated rib design that reduces mirage and improves sight picture, while the Black Cerakote finish protects against rust and corrosion in harsh weather conditions. The drilled and tapped steel receiver accommodates aftermarket optics and accessory mounts, allowing customization for specific hunting or tactical scenarios. Ambidextrous controls—including safety and bolt release—ensure the Sorix functions smoothly for both right- and left-handed shooters, eliminating the need for specialized equipment or technique adjustments. The Midnight Marsh synthetic stock with adjustable shim system provides a personalized fit, enabling shooters to dial in cast and drop for optimal cheek weld and sight alignment. At 5 pounds, this shotgun balances maneuverability with recoil absorption, making it comfortable during extended hunting seasons.

The Sorix is purpose-built for shooters who refuse to compromise on inclusivity and performance. The 2+1 magazine capacity (two in tube, one in chamber) delivers rapid target engagement while maintaining quick reload cycles. Ambidextrous design makes this shotgun an excellent choice for training programs, law enforcement departments, and mixed-handed hunting parties where a single platform must serve multiple users. The adjustable stock shim system is particularly valuable for shooters with varying physiques or those transitioning between heavy-recoil and light-load shooting disciplines. For hunters pursuing migratory waterfowl or upland birds, the 3-inch chamber and inertia recoil system ensure reliable function regardless of ammunition brand or payload, eliminating the need to keep separate shotguns in your arsenal.
