There aren't many true side by sides left at a working hunter's price, and the Weatherby Orion SxS fills that gap nicely. This 20 gauge wears all the traditional touches that make a double gun feel right: a straight English stock with a splinter forend, double triggers set in a long tang trigger guard, and a manual tang safety right where your thumb expects it. The oil rubbed Grade A walnut has more figure than you'd expect at this level, since Weatherby skipped the engraving and put that money into better wood instead.
The 28 inch chrome-lined monoblock barrels are topped with a swamped rib and a bright brass bead, keeping the sight picture clean and low the way a classic double should. Chambers are cut for 3 inch shells, and the gun handles everything from light target loads to bismuth and steel, so it's just as comfortable in a duck blind as it is following a bird dog through the grass. Extractors lift your spent hulls so they end up in your vest pocket instead of scattered across the prairie. At roughly 6.7 pounds on a 20 gauge specific frame, it's light enough for long walks but has enough weight up front to smooth out crossing shots.
Five extended choke tubes ship with the gun: Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. The extended design gives the constriction a longer transition, which helps patterns, especially with non-toxic shot. Inside, the trigger mechanism is all steel, and the oversized single-piece barrel lug adds contact surface to reduce wear over years of hard use. The double triggers break clean with minimal travel, and the mechanical design means your second barrel is always ready.
This is the kind of double you can carry through briars and snow without wincing at every scratch. Whether you're breaking into the side by side world or adding a dependable field gun to the safe, the Orion SxS earns its spot the old fashioned way, by killing birds and breaking clays season after season.
Yes, it ships with five extended choke tubes: Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. They use the Yildiz thread pattern, and the extended design gives shot a longer transition through the constriction, which tends to pattern well with non-toxic loads. Aftermarket tubes are available from Briley if you want additional constrictions.
This model uses extractors, which lift the spent shells so you can pull them out by hand rather than flinging them into the field. Weatherby did this intentionally so empty hulls end up in your pocket instead of on the ground. Plenty of upland hunters prefer it that way.
It really is a middle ground gun. The 28 inch barrels swing smooth and steady for crossing shots on the clays course, while the roughly 6.7 pound weight keeps it comfortable to carry on long upland walks. With 3 inch chambers and five chokes, it handles everything from doves to ducks to a round of skeet.
The front trigger fires the right barrel and the rear trigger fires the left, letting you instantly pick your choke based on the shot presented. The mechanical trigger design is all steel and built for durability, with a clean pull and short travel. If you've never run double triggers before, it takes a little practice, but most folks adapt within a few range sessions.
