There is something about breaking open a proper over/under that a pump or autoloader just can't match, and the Orion 1 delivers that experience without the sticker shock that usually comes with a double gun. Weatherby built this one around a traditional boxlock action with a forged steel receiver, dual locking pins, and a slim, low profile that lets the gun sit naturally against your cheek so your eye lines up right down the rib. The 12 gauge chambering with 3 inch chambers means you can run everything from light target loads on the skeet field to heavier field loads when the birds are flying high.
The Grade A walnut stock wears a high gloss finish with 22 LPI checkering and a Prince of Wales grip, which splits the difference between a full pistol grip and a straight English stock. It looks sharp and it points fast. At around 7 pounds with 28 inch barrels, the gun balances right at the hinge pin, giving you that smooth, effortless swing that makes crossing shots feel almost automatic. A quality rubber recoil pad with a hard heel insert keeps the butt from snagging on your vest during the mount and takes the sting out of a long day at the range.
You get three flush fit choke tubes, Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full, so the same gun covers close flushing quail, mid range clays, and longer passing shots. Automatic ejectors kick empties clear the moment you break the action, which keeps reloads quick when doubles are coming fast. A vented top rib with a brass bead front sight, an ambidextrous top tang safety with built in barrel selector, and blued barrels with a high luster finish round out the package.
Owners consistently report smooth function and reliable performance through thousands of rounds, whether they bought it for trap, skeet, sporting clays, or bird season. If you have been waiting for a good looking, hard working double that does a little bit of everything, this is a smart place to land.
It ships with three flush fit tubes: Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full. The Orion uses a common Invector style thread pattern, so aftermarket tubes like skeet or extended sporting chokes are easy to find. Plenty of owners run skeet chokes in theirs for range days without any issues.
It genuinely does both well, which is a big part of its appeal. The 28 inch barrels and hinge pin balance give it a smooth swing for trap, skeet, and sporting clays, while the 3 inch chambers and included choke selection cover upland birds and heavier field loads. Owners report using the same gun for bird season and weekend clays without missing a beat.
It runs right around 7 pounds, which is enough heft to soak up 12 gauge recoil without feeling like a boat anchor in the field. The rubber recoil pad has a hard heel insert that slides across clothing during the mount instead of snagging, and it does a nice job softening field loads. With target loads it is a comfortable all day gun.
This model has true automatic ejectors, so spent hulls get kicked clear when you break the action open. That makes reloads noticeably faster on the clays course compared to extractor guns where you pluck shells out by hand. Unfired shells are simply lifted for easy removal.
