Anybody here have any hands on knowledge regarding the Weatherby tactical S/G.

Not hands on, but the first time I’ve heard of it.

Key features of the SA-459 TR semi-auto shotgun include a trim forend for easy handling and a bolt with an oversized hourglass design that makes it easy to locate and operate. The ergonomic pistol grip-style buttstock has a rubber-textured grip area for snag-free shouldering. Ideal for female or smaller shooters, the SA-459 TR minimizes felt recoil with its gas-operated semi-auto action. A short 13.5-inch length of pull helps enhance the shotgun’s effectiveness in close-range threat-response situations.
The SA-459 TR’s short, defensive-length (18.5 inches) barrel is chrome-lined for easy cleaning and added durability. For mounting sights and optics, a Picatinny rail is installed on the receiver. The rail includes a LPA-style ghost ring rear sight that is adjustable for windage and elevation. The front sight is a red fiber optic bead.
Weatherby’s shotguns, especially pumps and autos, of recent history have been Turkish in origin.
Looks like a clone of the recent HK shotguns.
I have a feeling Weatherby is now pimping the shotguns orphaned by Charles Daly.
Including HK/Benelli’s ridiculously long fixed stock.
