Looks like a refined and improved 18i Weatherby. A stainless steel rod rather than carbon steel in the butt should be addressed if truly improving the shotgun.
To many holes to the gun lol! Apart from that its a typical breda as someone already addressed. I think for the price its a fair competitor to the "notorious" SBE 3. Personally and based on your review i find that the Sauer sl5 waterfowl is more robust than both , 2 piece steel receiver (that i think is more durable) ect. It reminds me its successor the sbe1.
I can hardly review the Sorix before it gets here. We will see how it does. The pricing for a CIP proofed Italian semi-auro is quite attactive, as is the 10 year warranty, and Weatherby has always had excellent customer service. Weatherby is doing more machining and finishing in the USA, which is a very good thing as far as I'm concerned.
The Weatherby podcast answers a lot of questions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3GR7VqkNkeU.htmlfeature=shared . As discussed and tested by Weatherby, is that ejection is not nearly the distraction that the charging handle is-- particularly an oversized charging handle. As far as the slot for the charging handle being a signficant entry point, I've spend far too much time with B2000's and Double Autos to believe that could possibly be any issue. Additionally, dropping the trigger group of the Sorix means you knock out exactly one pin. It cannot rationally be any issue whatsoever.
Typical Breda lines but more refined and American Style. Weatherby lost affordable prices of Element (Made by ATA in Türkiye). Good semiauto bad price.
The Italian made Sorix ($1499 MSRP) competes with the made in Portugal $$2,279.99 MSRP Browning A5 Wicked Wing. Street price is around $1275 for the Sorix. A camo SBE3 sells for around $1750 street. The Sorix selling price is attractive.
@@RandyWakemanHell yeah Randy! You ALWAYS disseminate reliable manufacturer information. Rarely, if ever, do other creators/writers offer that info. Thanks.
