26" barrels choked C/C. 12ga. original butt plate that is missing about 3/8" on bottom. Nice bluing, some scratching on left side of wood. Selling for a friend. $690 delivered to your FFL. If you have questions I will have to get an answer and get back to you. Bulge.














The gun is still tight.

Page nine of the owners manual in the link shows these as inertia triggers. I have always wanted one of these in a high grade 28 gauge. The action is basically an SKB if I am nit mistaken.

The Orion was built by SKB, shipped to Weatherby in the white and then polished, blued and stocked by them.

The Orion was a great pheasant gun in 20 ga; but they always seemed a bit clubby in 12 ga. However, most 12 ga o/u's feel that way to me...

All Orion's had inertia triggers, except for the 28 ga model, which had mechanical triggers.

Looks to be a good solid gun, a little fix up work will bring it back to life!

When I was a kid in high school I won a Weatherby Regency in a raffle, damn that was a nice gun, too bad my wise a$$ed teen aged mouth over rode my brain and I ended up having to sell it to pay for a lawyer to get my a$$ out of a crack
