The Weatherby Orion 1 20ga over and under shotgun pairs classic double-barrel versatility with modern handling for hunters and sport shooters who value swing, speed, and reliability in the field or on the clay course. This 28-inch barrel model chambers 3-inch loads and comes in a clean black finish that cuts glare and blends into any hunting environment. At 6.2 pounds, it's light enough for a full day afield without fatigue, yet solid enough to shoot confidently all day long.
The Orion 1's low-profile receiver is the key to its natural pointability—it sits closer to your eye and cheek, meaning faster target acquisition and a more intuitive swing whether you're tracking crossing birds or following clay targets. The ambidextrous top tang safety keeps things accessible from either shoulder, and automatic ejectors mean empties pop clear the instant you crack the action open, letting you reload and stay ready without fumbling. Chrome-lined bores protect against the corrosion that comes with regular use in wet or humid conditions.
Stock and sighting are straightforward: A-grade walnut with a Prince of Wales grip that fills your hand, and a brass bead front sight on a matte ventilated rib that won't steal light or distract your eye. The gun ships with three screw-in chokes—Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder—so you can tune for everything from tight waterfowl patterns to open upland spreads without buying aftermarket tubes. Dimensions and fit are generous: 45.5 inches overall with a 14.5-inch length of pull, 1.5 inches drop at the comb, and 2.5 inches at the heel—proportions that suit most adult frames.
If you want a 20-gauge that handles fast without the fuss of semi-automatics, the Weatherby Orion 1 delivers the balance, pointability, and durability hunters and shooters have relied on for decades.
