Description
The Weatherby Orion Sporting 12 Ga is a shotgun chambered in 12 Gauge.
Weatherby Orion Sporting 12 Ga Overview
The Weatherby Orion Sporting Matte is an over-and-under built for sporting clays and upland shooters who want a gun that fits. It has a four-way adjustable comb for a custom fit and consistent mount. Fit matters more with a shotgun than with almost any other firearm, because you point it rather than aim it. Check that the stock length lets you mount the gun smoothly with your eye centered over the rib, and pattern the gun with the chokes and loads you plan to use.
A few trips to the trap or sporting clays field before the season will sharpen your swing and help you learn how the gun handles.
Design and Features
The 30-inch barrels swing smoothly, and the ventilated rib with a fiber optic front bead gives a quick sight picture. The matte finish reduces glare, and the gun comes with extended choke tubes.
Handling in the Field
The Orion Sporting balances between the hands for smooth, deliberate swings on crossing targets and long shots.
Action and Trigger
The single selective trigger and automatic ejectors make it easy to shoot and reload quickly on the course.
Sights and Optics
A ventilated rib and front bead give a fast, clear sight picture for moving targets.
The 12 Gauge Cartridge
The 12 Gauge offers a good balance of power, accuracy, and recoil for its intended use.
Setup and Accessories
Set your shotgun up for its job: hunters will want a sling and a few choke tubes, clay shooters may add a recoil pad, and a home-defense setup benefits from a weapon light. Pattern every load and choke combination you plan to use.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner’s manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the shotgun and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner’s manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the action and choke threads. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
