Weatherby Orion Wthby Or11228Rgg Ou 12Ga 28In Mc3

The Weatherby Orion 12-gauge over/under shotgun is a versatile, classically-styled option for hunters and clay shooters who want one gun to handle upland birds, waterfowl, and everything in between. Built on a traditional boxlock design with a forged steel receiver, the Orion delivers solid, balanced performance in the field or on the range. Its Grade A walnut furniture and refined mechanics make it feel like a shotgun that will last generations, not one you'll tire of carrying.

The 28-inch barrels strike a practical balance—short enough for quick handling in tight cover, long enough for clean sight picture and consistent shot patterns. At 7 pounds, it's manageable for all-day hunts without wearing you down. The 14.625-inch length of pull fits a wide range of shooters comfortably, and the Improved Cylinder and Modified/Full choke tubes let you dial in your pattern for your quarry and conditions. The brass front sight helps you track your swing smoothly, whether you're reading a covey rise or breaking targets on the course.

If you're shopping for a workhorse over/under that won't break character or your budget, and you value that effortless swing and genuine feel that box-action doubles have always offered, the Weatherby Orion delivers all of it without fanfare. It's the kind of shotgun that makes you a better shot just by being in your hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Weatherby Orion's length of pull, and will it fit me?

The Orion has a 14.625-inch length of pull, which fits most adult shooters well. If you're particularly tall or short, bring your favorite shotgun to compare, or measure from the center of the trigger to the middle of the recoil pad on your current gun to verify fit.

Can I use this shotgun for both hunting and clay shooting?

Yes. The Weatherby Orion is built for exactly that kind of versatility. The 28-inch barrels and included choke tubes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full) let you adapt to upland hunting, waterfowl, or trap and skeet. The balanced swing and forged steel receiver handle whatever you ask of it.

What chokes come with the Orion?

The Orion ships with Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full choke tubes. These three options cover most hunting and range scenarios—tighter patterns for distant birds or clay, more open patterns for close work in brush.

How much does the Weatherby Orion weigh, and is it manageable for all-day hunting?

The Orion weighs 7 pounds, which is standard for a 12-gauge over/under. That's light enough for comfortable all-day carry in the field without feeling fatigued by the end of your hunt.
