Weatherby Orion Wthby Og12828Dsm Sxs Dbl Trgr 28

The Weatherby Orion side-by-side shotgun in 28 gauge is a refined classic built for hunters and clay shooters who value balance, handling, and timeless design. With its straight English stock and splinter forend, the Orion harks back to traditional shotgun craftsmanship while delivering the practical performance modern shooters expect. The 28-gauge barrels make this gun an ideal choice for upland bird hunting in open country or for breaking clays on the course—nimble enough to mount quickly and swing naturally, yet substantial enough to deliver consistent patterns downrange.

What sets the Orion apart is its thoughtful engineering. The double triggers give you independent control of each barrel, letting you choose your load and shot size on the fly. The barrels wear a swamp rib topped with a brass bead sight, keeping your sight picture clean and simple. A matte blue finish on the receiver, barrels, and top rib resists glare and wears beautifully over time. The oil-rubbed Grade A walnut furniture brings warmth and character to the gun while providing a secure, comfortable grip and forend.

Whether you're working through sage-covered ridges for sharptail and grouse or stepping up to the clay range, the Orion's 28-gauge profile keeps recoil manageable and lets you focus on your shot. The gun swings and points naturally—a hallmark of quality side-by-side design. This is a shotgun built to become a trusted companion across seasons and shooting disciplines.
