Introducing the Orion Matte Blue, a shotgun that seamlessly blends tradition with modern engineering to meet the demands of avid hunters and sport shooters alike. This fine firearm is crafted with precision, featuring matte-finished metalwork complemented by a matching Turkish walnut stock, ensuring it stands out in any field or range setting.
The Orion's design prioritizes function without sacrificing form. Its slim action is achieved through innovative sliding locking bars positioned above automatic ejectors, reducing bulk compared to other over/under shotguns. These automatic ejectors efficiently clear empty shells from your path, allowing for swift reloading when every moment counts.
Available in both 12 gauge and 20 gauge options—with barrel lengths of 26" or 28"—the Orion caters to varied shooting preferences. The vented top rib equipped with a single brass bead sight ensures quick target acquisition whether you are trailing chukar in rugged terrain or breaking clays at your local club.
This shotgun's low profile receiver enhances its handling characteristics by promoting natural shouldering, enabling faster target alignment—a crucial advantage during fast-paced hunts or competitive shoots. Weighing just seven pounds and fitted with an 'A' grade American walnut stock styled with a Prince of Wales grip, the Orion strikes an impeccable balance between comfort and control.
