The Weatherby Orion I is a 12 gauge over/under shotgun (Weatherby part no. OR1MB1228RGG) built with a low-profile receiver that lets the gun mount naturally to the shoulder whether the target is a rising bird or a going-away clay. Its 28-inch barrel and matte blue finish keep the gun quick-handling and glare-free in the field, and the walnut stock gives it classic good looks. Weatherby ships the Orion I with three chokes to cover common field and clays presentations.
