The Orion Matte Blue stands as a testament to refined elegance and functional prowess in the realm of over/under shotguns. Crafted with precision, this firearm features matte-finished metalwork seamlessly paired with a matching Turkish walnut stock, offering both aesthetic appeal and durability. Whether you're traversing mountainous terrain in pursuit of chukar or combing through desert landscapes for quail, the Orion proves its mettle time and again.
At the heart of its design lies an ingenious action that sets it apart from many contemporaries. The slim profile is achieved by employing a set of sliding locking bars situated above automatic ejectors—an engineering feat that minimizes bulk without compromising reliability. This construction ensures swift ejection of spent shells, keeping your focus on the target rather than clearing chambers.
Available with 26-inch or 28-inch barrels chambered in 12 gauge, and a svelte 26-inch option for those favoring the nimble handling characteristics of the 20 gauge variant. Each barrel is adorned with a vented top rib culminating in a single brass bead sight—a nod to traditional craftsmanship ensuring consistent aim under various lighting conditions.
Versatility remains paramount; thus, every Orion comes equipped with interchangeable choke tubes providing adaptability across shooting scenarios—from tight patterns required for upland birds to wide spreads favored during clay competitions.
The Weatherby Orion isn't just another shotgun; it's an embodiment of balance between form and function—a trusted companion designed to excel whether one finds themselves amidst nature's expanse or at home on the range.
