Wby Orion 1 Over/under 12/26 3" Wlnt

The Weatherby Orion 1 Over/Under 12/26 3" Walnut shotgun delivers the balanced handling and quick target acquisition that serious upland hunters and clay shooters demand. Built around a low-profile receiver that naturalizes the shouldering motion, this over-under combines ergonomic design with proven mechanics to reduce shot-to-follow-up time—a critical advantage whether pursuing birds in the field or running sporting clays courses.

At 8.94 lbs and equipped with a 26-inch barrel, the Orion 1 balances swing weight with pointability for tight cover work and fast-moving targets. The 3-inch chamber accepts modern ammunition loads across the full spectrum of field and sport applications. Automatic ejectors clear empties decisively, enabling rapid reloading cycles during high-volume shooting. A vented rib paired with a single brass bead front sight provides a consistent sighting plane that accelerates target tracking and follow-up shots. The walnut furniture delivers traditional aesthetics without compromising durability or weather resistance in typical hunting conditions.

This shotgun is purpose-built for hunters and competitive shooters who prioritize smooth swing and quick handling over heavier magnum payloads. The 26-inch configuration suits brush-country upland work, pheasant hunts, and clay courses where maneuverability within close-to-intermediate ranges matters more than distance capability. Over-under shotguns remain the gold standard for shooters who value reliability, resale value, and the mechanical simplicity of proven designs that require minimal field maintenance.
