Weatherby Orion Matte Blue 12ga Over & Under Shotgun - 28" Barrel, Black Finish

The Weatherby Orion is a 12-gauge over-and-under shotgun built for hunters and clay shooters who want a reliable, naturally-pointing gun that doesn't ask you to fight it. This 28-inch barrel model pairs a low-profile receiver design with genuine A-grade walnut in a satin finish and Prince of Wales grip, keeping overall weight down to 7 pounds—light enough for all-day hunting but solid enough to shoot confidently at the range or in the field. The matte blue barrel and receiver won't catch the sun on a stalk, and the ventilated top rib with brass bead front sight puts you on target fast.

Where the Orion earns its keep is in the details. Ambidextrous top tang safety means it works equally well for right- and left-handed shooters. The chrome-lined bores handle whatever ammunition you're running, and the 3-inch chamber gives you flexibility in load selection. Automatic ejectors throw empties clear so you're not fumbling to extract hulls—reload and move on. The gun ships with three interchangeable chokes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder, so you can tune the pattern for your shooting situation without buying a new gun.

If you hunt upland birds or waterfowl, or you're building a clay target habit, this is a shotgun that won't complicate your life. No gimmicks, no excessive features—just a smooth-swinging gun that points naturally and does the job it was designed for.
