The Weatherby Orion is a versatile 12-gauge over-and-under shotgun built for hunters and sport shooters who demand a balance of handling, reliability, and value. This 26" barrel model features a low-profile receiver that shoulders naturally, helping you track and swing through moving targets without the gun fighting your mechanics. Whether you're working a field of upland birds, setting up over water, or running clays at the range, the Orion's design keeps the sight picture clean and your follow-up shots quick.
Build quality matters in a shotgun that works as hard as you do. The Orion comes with chrome-lined bores for corrosion resistance and longevity, a 3" chamber to handle standard and magnum loads, and automatic ejectors that throw empties clear so reloads stay smooth. The matte-blue finish on the barrel and receiver resists glare and blends into field conditions, while the ventilated top rib with a brass bead front sight gives you a clean sight plane. An ambidextrous top tang safety means left- or right-handed shooters work the gun intuitively.
The stock is A-grade walnut with a satin finish and Prince of Wales grip—traditional styling that feels right in your hands and won't show every smudge and dust. At 7 pounds, the Orion carries without fatigue over a long day afield. You get three interchangeable chokes (Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder) so you can match your shot pattern to the distance and target.
