Sheridan, WY – February 11, 2026. Weatherby is proud to announce the SORIX Turkey, the newest addition to the SORIX shotgun line and a purpose built platform designed specifically for the spring woods. Built on Weatherby’s field proven inertia recoil system, the SORIX Turkey delivers the same trusted reliability and performance hunters expect from the SORIX name, now optimized for chasing gobblers.
Available in Mossy Oak Original Bottomland, the SORIX Turkey blends seamlessly into hardwoods, river bottoms, and early season cover. Featuring shorter 24 inch barrels, this model is designed for improved maneuverability in tight timber and ground blinds, allowing for quicker target acquisition when the moment of truth arrives.
The SORIX Turkey ships with a custom Trulock extended turkey choke engineered to deliver tight, consistent patterns with today’s modern turkey loads. It is also compatible with the CRIO Plus choke tube pattern and includes five additional chokes: cylinder, improved cylinder, modified, improved modified, and full. A choke wrench and carrying case are included.
The stepped rib features an integrated rear flip up sight paired with a fiber optic front bead to promote fast alignment and natural pointing. The receiver is drilled and tapped, making the SORIX Turkey optics ready right out of the box for hunters who prefer a red dot setup.
Oversized controls, including the safety, charging handle, and bolt release button, allow for intuitive operation even while wearing gloves. Adjustable stock shims are included so shooters can fine tune cast and overall fit. Designed with Weatherby’s Shift System, the SORIX Turkey supports both right and left handed shooters. With a simple swap of the charging handle and safety, left handed users experience the same control and ergonomics as right handed shooters.
The receiver and barrel feature a durable Cerakote finish to help resist moisture and wear during unpredictable spring conditions. The stock includes textured grip areas for enhanced control and a soft cheekpiece for added comfort during long sits.
Like all SORIX models, the SORIX Turkey is crafted in Italy with final fit, finish, and inspection completed in Sheridan, Wyoming.
The SORIX Turkey delivers reliability, maneuverability, and turkey specific performance in a package built to meet the demands of serious spring hunters.
