Fun review. Just bought the non sporting 28” version and super excited about it. I like your attitude towards shooting and guns. It’s not what it costs that matters it’s all about what you can do with it!

I bought this gun and I’m left-handed I bought a right handed gun my family is all right hand but I ended up having a gunsmith remove springs because as you said it will eject those shells a long way and operates beautiful smooth 😂😂filled accurate I’ve let some competitive shooters use it for the price point they were extremely impressed with it

I agree with you 100%. I've been shooting for 6 or 7 years now and I'm thankful for my Beretta as400. I've always wanted an O/U, particularly the silver pigeon. However my wife doesn't believe it is worth it lol. As for my newest purchase, the Weatherby Orion, i think its amazing. It's fun to shoot and does the exact same thing as all the other O/U lol. Keep posting, and keep shooting!

Thanks for the video. My wife and I are just getting into skeet, and I am blown away by the prices on over/under shotguns. Glad to know there are more “affordable“ options for beginners like us.

Thank you SO MUCH for your review! I’ve been shooting a Stevens Model 311 side by side for 8 years now. I shoot it very well. After putting over 8000 rounds thru it I needed something new, but just cannot afford a Beretta upgrade on my income. After doing much research and your video, this is now the gun I’ll choose! 👍

very accurate information. I took a chance on one of these without much information available in July 2020 and have been completely satisfied. Shooting trap weekly and coming up on 2500 rounds fired. New trap shooter and consistently hitting 23-24 with occasional 25 mixed in. Shot doubles 1 day and put up a 37 and 44. My dad got me to start going to the trap club with him. When I decided I was hooked and wanted to get more serious than my 11-87 I set my budget at 2000$. This had the features I wanted and instead of buying a B gun I had money left over to buy 6 trulock chokes, a used Mec9000 and a bunch of reloading components.

Thanks for the video. I just bought a Weatherby Orion Sporting. I have about 500 rounds through it. I love it so far.

Case in point, I had such an enjoyable time last Tuesday, breaking targets with mini shells through my Maverick 88 and its 20" barrel, that on Thursday I got in the car and drove an hour to handle some OU's. After holding a $4,000 Browning with all the fixings, I came home and went down the online rabbit hole. Happy to say my new Orion Sporting saved me almost $3,000 and I should have it this week😊 They ARE hard to find in 12ga. Can't wait Nicely done review. Thank You. PS - popping away at moving targets with the Mossburg is not gonna stop either, great practice

I have a field version i just bought it today, and I bought it because I am apart of a trap and skeet club, I haven't shot it yet i was searching up videos, thank you so much for posting this video i see so many people bashing the rifle for not being like a Berretta and you truly gave a much better review

bought one las week from a local gun-shop and got a free hat with it.. 200 rds on the field trap with under barrel running modified choke and upper barrel with IM. broke clay sequence: 20, 20, 19, 23, 19,19, 24, 22...I love it thanks for your review

Great Review! I recently bought one of these in the 28" non-sporting version with the POW grip. I absolutely love it and it fits me like a glove. I also like the mechanical trigger, no inertia required for reset. Also the ejectors work great as well as the barrel selector. I also bought Carlson sporting chokes for mine. I shoot it well and it works, so to me, that is what really matters. Can't beat it for the money in my opinion and the triggers to me feel just fine even when checking it with snap caps. There is also that little fun element that sometimes happens when you outshoot someone who has a much higher price over/under.

Thanks a lot for your review & your time & effort. I am getting back into skeet shooting after 30 years absence. I thought about a Winchester 101 but the more I looked, this gun drew me in. I have never been one to care about frills & minor details. I just wanted something that was well built & reliable. This gun seems to be just what I want. I am picking one up this coming weekend. & Yes, it all about having fun my man! Thanks again & good shooting..

Great review! Thank you! I shot skeet for the first time today. It was a blast. This might be my next gun purchase. Have a blessed day!

Very nice review. I liked the attitude of Mr. Redbeard here :). This gun resembles ATA SP or ATA sorter. that is sold here in UK for about £600. or £699 if you buy with an adjustable stock. Pretty descent gun, I tried it once and quit enjoyed shooting it. In my opinion it's one of better budget guns. Mr. Redbeard I really enjoyed you review keep em coming .

Great review and great attitude! Thanks for all the info.

Great review I have been wanting something to take with me in the woods over my citori and the Orion fit me perfect now just waiting to shoot it

Wish I could find some shells. I thank you for making this video, I have been looking at this firestick for some time now, you have helped with my decision. God bless

Great job. I love reviews that give honest reviews and don’t say for the money every other word. While you referred to the beretta quite a-bit. I rushed out and bought

Great review! I picked up a Orion sporting today and also ordered the golden Carlson choke tubes. Can’t wait to bring it to league this week and try it out.

Redbeard is spot on. The Orion Sporting is a smooth shooter that has a surprisingly low felt recoil. I don't think there is another $860 gun with the features of an adjustable comb, ported barrels, dual ribs and a knockoff B-686 action. I really like the beefy prince of Wales grip, forend swell and the highly varnished woodwork - specifically because it doesn't look like everyone else's gun at the club. I bought mine at Gallery of Guns so it came wth the Davidsons lifetime guarantee of free replacement (additional peace of mind). I like the look of the gold Carlsons chokes, but for the price of one tube, I will purchase a can of Durametl Van Golden and refinish the knurled extensions of the entire 5 tube choke set that came wth my gun. I could not be any more pleased with it.

Like the review. Been wanting an over under for a long time and I will be getting this one.

Loved the earnest nature of your review. I think Ill be buying this based on your review. I shoot trap at my club every sunday and send through usually 50-100 shells. I may even compete in the winter shoots and possibly do 200 a weekend with it. I hope this gun will do enough for me as it has for you.

Choke tubes look great! Thanks for the review.

Great video, I just bought one and pick it up tomorrow!

Honest review. THANKS!!! I had the opportunity to shoot a sporting clays course with that very same one and it was awesome. It feels good and honestly it swing great! I've been a Beretta Semiautomatic for years owning a few of them but as I said I tried this one O/U and love it. I'M GETTING ONE SOON!!!!

Fantastic Shotgun. I purchased one March of this year 2021. I did some patterning looks good. I did purchase a modified choke. It lighter then my browning cotori that’s the plus for upland hunting.

I like my Orion Sporting in 20 gauge very much. I have heard some rumblings about the action being tight and claims that the machining is off. I think the problem if there even is one, is that the machining is very tight. When greased properly the action opens normally. In our 100 degree Texas heat, after 50 rounds the gun gets hot. I believe the metal is expanding from the heat and causing the action to be tight. Once the barrel has cooled off the problem goes away.

Great review. Honest, straight forward

Yea man your genuine and I can tell, you enjoy life! That’s awesome I almost never comment on things but your personality is best part of this video.

Looks awesome and great review I hope to buy this next year for my first firearm! My dad has a very nice browning citori he uses for skeet so I hope to use my own next year!

Great review. Thinking about this as my first shotgun for shooting clays at my local club.

Nice video hey brother I have a same shotgun mine is 25 years old I love it enjoy your shooting brother

I bought my 1st whether be in 1972 a weatherby regency And it is a fine shotgun today I kept it in mint condition beautiful engraving 30" full and modified choke

I agree. I have owned two Browning's for 6 years and I love them, one of them being a 725. The other day shooting sporting clays I tried a friends Weatherby Orion, I couldn't miss a clay. I just could not believe how balanced and well it fit with the adjustable comb for 1/3 the price. Even though I don't need one I want one . I know many of you will agree there is nothing wrong with just having another gun.

Great review for what it is. I have the standard one and love it. Put a ton of rounds through with 0 issues. I was thinking of getting another over under for my son to use and I would absolutely buy another one and more specifically this one. Thanks for all the good information.

Great show thanks for the information

Nice Review for the Weatherby Orion Sporting and I like the way you talk about this Shotgun! I have a Browning CXS O/U and this looks similar to the Weatherby as for the shiny coloring!

Off to buy a Weatherby sporting in the morning to get into Clay's after a long lay-off. Great video

Thanks for the video as there are not many as you said. Hope others do some videos also.

I like your style man!

Great review, you keep it real. I have a Weatherby SA 08 & love it. I am looking at an O/U & the Orion is the ticket. Also the Turks make some pretty sweet guns.

I’ve had my Orion for 30 years no troubles from skeet to the field great gun I think I paid 800-1 k for it that’s was in the 80 s

Guess it's not a Beretta, then. Great gun for the money. For me it points better than my Browning. The barrel selector is a little too loose for my liking, but overall, I enjoy shooting mine. I also got a selection of Carlson ported extended choke tubes for mine as well and did notice that I have to take a wire bore brush and give the tubes a good cleaning after each round of clays cause debris builds up on them. An owner recently pointed out that the action has a design weakness. The lower face of the receiver is beveled away from the chamber a couple of degrees where the lower chamber mates to the receiver. The result is that only about 40% of the case head is supported against the receiver face and there is a gap between the face of the receiver and the lower portion of the shell base. When the lower chamber is fired, the gas pressure deforms the shell base, filling that gap and making it difficult to open the action as the bent portion of the shell base is dragged against receiver and over the bevel. Mine hasn't demonstrated this yet and isn't overly difficult to open after shooting the bottom chamber, but I've only been shooting light target loads so far.

I would love to have one. Sadly just like everything else during these times it’s all gone

Well done sir.

Love the content!! Earned a sub👍🏼

If you take off the butt stock to access the receiver innards, you will see the trigger has 2 holes to select trigger pull weight. Comes factory set at an average of 6.4lb trigger pull. If you poke out the trigger pin at factory setting which is the hole farthest away from trigger and re-insert pin to closest hole to trigger, you now have a 4.9lb trigger pull weight. The 2 trigger pin holes are only 1/8 inch apart.

Excellent!

Thanks for the info! I am interested in a nice over under without paying thousands of dollars. Appreciate it!

Thanks for the info.

Great review Sir and thank you. I have a question , the top lever once the action is locked, does it stay on the right side or it will stop on the center? I got mine today and while i was checking for issues before paper work I noticed that mine close well but top lever will not move all the way straight to center rather will stop above the 2 dots (over barrel indicator) on the right.

Same way I feel about my TriStar upland hunter. It doesn't take away from what it is. It functions perfect and is dead on. Years ago trying to find an over and under for less than 1000$ was imposable. In fact I have no more desire to find a more expensive version.

Great review, made me laugh, I just picked up the gun today. I see you went with the carlson Gold chokes but what diameters did you go with ? Are you still shooting them and how do you like it now that you had about 5 months from the video.

Appreciate the honest review! I'm very much a beginner and have a couple of questions for you. Which is easier for a beginner to learn, trap or skeet? Will this gun work well for either?

🎉Thank you so much‼️

Thank you for your review, I just purchased this over and under. I like your choke tubes where did you purchase them? Can you please provide a link to website? Thank you again Great review.

I’ve been out shooting a few times with a close friend of mine. He had me shoulder his Remington pump and his Weatherby Orion 28” O/U and the O/U shouldered great. I just pulled the trigger and ordered an Orion for myself. I’m super stoked to get it and get out to the range. Can you give me more info on your choke tubes? Great review by the way!

I just bought mine today. I realized my barrel selector has some play on it and it doesn't have a nice crisp click/lock feel to it like when switching the safety on and off. Is your selector the same and is this common on thses shotguns or is it just my gun?

Thank you. Insightful non pretentious

Does the Weatherby have a steel receiver or Aluminum? Appears to be solid as a tank. Gonna go grab one as soon as I can find one. Thanks for the review. I love the stock and fore end.

I appreciate the video-one of the guns I’m considering. When others have said they have “disdain” for over/unders that aren’t expensive, it makes me scratch my head. Is an $800 o/u more likely to malfunction or break than a $350 Rem 870 pump? The o/u has two barrels and more sophisticated ejectors and barrel selector device for trigger. But it costs more than double, so I would think they should be on par. Am I wrong on that?

You had me at "fiddle sticks".

I really like you review comments, what's your opinion after shooting it?

Where did you get the gold chokes? I’ve got one on order.

does it have any cast?

Just bought this shotgun but wanted to see if you knew why the choke tube set it came with has the Allen key and the washers.. what are they for?

I'm picking mine up tomorrow. Question for you. Are you having slight difficulty opening the breach after firing the lower barrel?

Well done video, but pass on those ported barrels as they add noise and have never been proven to reduce recoil. That said, Weatherby makes some excellent firearms. Still have a Patrician DU Edition shotgun (unfired collector) 1979 edition.

What Chokes did you put on there the gold ones? also do you know the price? Love the video Thnaks!!

Just picked one up last Saturday...

Thanks for the reply redbeard. One more question for you, what brand ammo do you use? A buddy of mine says he has had top barrel miss fires with his. He blames it on the cheap ammo he was using. Primers sunk to deep on random shells. I think I want one if thats all its was to his issue.

i’m a left handed shooter and i would like to know if the stock is neutral.

You got a good deal on this. I just bought my first o/u from a shop and man I am very happy with the purchase. I did shoot a Beretta same day and it feels about the same, except Beretta was on lighter end. I shot about 200 shots with the Orion 1 and love it so far. I do need the link for that gold choke and how to lossen the opening part? Thanks for the review.

Is it a steel receiver and what do you think of the porting?

Good looking gun I have a po8. Upland game 20 gauge pump. Weatherby with walnut stocks. The. Guns are made in Turkey. But a I found them to be real good guns holds a good tight pattern,,,,,,

I like the pimp gold chokes

Hey - in West TN myself. I'm interested in this gun as well as actual ATA supersport. There is another video on the Weatherby that suggests there is an issue with action breaking open when the bottom barrel is shot. Something about the shell brass bulging and locking up the action. Have you had that experience with yours?

I’m a clay targets coach on a youth team. Do you think this gun would hold up to a 4000 to 5000 a year shell count? Always looking for a shotgun to recommend to families looking for a Lee’s expensive way to get into an over and under for a youth shooter. Thanks!

Its a gun that works for you for someone at under a grand . Clones get a really bad name these days a lot of cloned guns are really good some not so much . You hit the nail on the head a lot of people wont give these guns even half a chance . There loss . Yildiz also do a real quality italian clone of a gun begining with a P . Fun is the key .

Is the top tang able to be pushed right for left handed shooters?

Is it a Beretta? Ha ha ha. Great video!

I know this is an old video but how has this O/U held up since? I’m looking to get my first O/U but I don’t wanna spend Franchi, Browning, Beretta money so this one has really grabbed my interest.

Hi Redbeard TN, I am looking for the Carlson Golden Choke tubes for 12 gauge choke tube for the Orion Sporting model. I was unable to choke tubes on the Carlson website for Weatherby. What are the exact choke tubes should I order? Regards, Tom Powers

The weatherby is a more polished version of the Ata sp, at that end of the market they are a good deal.They look nice and fit/finish outwardly is above average. People just need to realise they are cheap for a reason, double guns are expensive to make and these budget friendly guns look fine and shoot well, but as a dedicated clay gun longterm they won't last like the big names. Different quality of steels and tooling internally.

Based on types of chokes, how do you set up chokes on two barrels?

Could you reply with a link to where you got these gold colored chokes? I can’t find them online.

If you like glossy finish, it’s about the only game in town on affordable Turkish guns going. Everything else is matte.

I just bought a Weatherby Orion Sporting. Where did you get those choke tubes?

It’s not a silver pigeon it’s better not a Beretta fan I don’t own the Weatherby but my friend has the Orion it’s a very nice gun and if I was going to spend 2 k I’d pay a couple of hundred more and get a Browning it blows away Beretta

Never keep up with the Jones because at the end of the day,You are you.... Buy what feels good to your needs.

My boy has shot it for trap for three years. This thing has beat him up from day one. Multiple modifications to make it fit him nothing has worked. As far as reliability it's always gone bang when the trigger is pulled.

What brand chokes are those gold one’s

What style carlsons chokes work on these weatherbys?

So…..you’ve had it awhile now. How is it? Problems? Likes, dislikes? I just got the same gun in 20 gauge.

Is this the same as the ATA SP?

Does it have a palm swell?

Can you speak to steel quality,just asking ,looks good

Oooo ported barrels

How about an update. Is it holding up?

This shotgun comes in cardboard box or plastic case
