Skilled shooters and upland hunters know that a well-balanced side-by-side can change a day afield. A shotgun that blends classical lines with shootable performance makes clays and birds more enjoyable while providing predictable handling in varied field conditions.

WEATHERBY ORION is a Straight English–styled Side By Side that earns attention for its thoughtful blend of tradition and utility. With classical styling from the Straight English stock and silver fore-end to the double triggers housed in the long tang trigger guard, the Orion SxS is a trusted companion for the birds and clays.

Design and ergonomics

The Orion’s Straight English stock and oil-finished walnut furniture deliver a timeless profile and comfortable contact points. The silver fore-end complements the classic blued finish, and the long tang trigger guard accommodates the double triggers cleanly—ideal for shooters who value immediate follow-up choices without electronic aids. As a Side By Side intended for both clay courses and upland work, the balance off the shoulder is tuned for smooth mount and natural pointability.

Barrel and sighting features

The 28″ barrels with a swamp rib provide a predictable swing and quick target pickup. A brass bead sight keeps things traditional and simple—precisely what many shooters prefer for sporting clays and flushing birds. The 28″ length is a practical middle ground: long enough for a clean pattern and steady swing, yet compact enough to carry across undulating terrain.

Field use and value

Weatherby’s reputation and the Orion’s build make it a solid entry into classic SxS ownership. The model line listed as Various gives options for configuration while the core features remain consistent. Priced at $895.99, the Orion delivers heritage styling and functional components at an accessible price point for hunters and sport shooters seeking a time-honored platform.
