Special Features
- The swamped rib drops below the shooter's natural sight plane, leaving only the brass bead visible during the mount and eliminating rib distraction on crossing and quartering targets.
- Five extended Yildiz choke tubes ship with every OG12028DSM, spanning Skeet through Full, so the gun arrives fully equipped for both clay target sports and a full calendar of upland and migratory bird seasons.
- The straight English stock with splinter forend delivers a slender, hand-filling profile that promotes a natural pointing swing and connects the shooter directly to the balance point of the gun.
- Double triggers housed in a long tang trigger guard give each barrel its own dedicated trigger, providing immediate, tactile barrel selection with no selectors, switches, or settings to manage in the field.
- The ambidextrous manual tang safety operates comfortably for both right- and left-handed shooters, making this a versatile option across different users in the same family or hunting party.
- The single extractor lifts spent hulls clear of the chambers without throwing them, keeping empty shells in reach for reloaders and preventing litter in the field.
- The boxlock round-body action combines steel construction with a compact, clean profile that resists the accumulated wear of long seasons better than designs that rely on complex internal components.
Practical Benefits
- At 6.7 pounds, the Weatherby Orion SxS OG12028DSM in 20-gauge carries comfortably through a full day of walking pheasant cover, quail fields, or preserve bird hunting without fatigue building up over long miles.
- The 28-inch barrels generate a smooth, pendulum-like tracking swing on birds and clay targets that shorter defensive or field barrels simply cannot replicate, making sustained lead calculations more intuitive.
- The 3-inch chamber opens compatibility with a wider range of hunting loads, including heavier waterfowl and turkey ammunition where 20-gauge 3-inch shells deliver meaningful performance gains over 2-3/4-inch options.
- The full choke tube set means you can dial in the right pattern density for every hunting situation, from open Skeet tubes on close-rising woodcock to full tubes for longer crossing shots on late-season pheasants.
- If you are looking for a refined, properly balanced 20-gauge double gun that hunts as well as it looks, your Orion SxS gives you the classic side-by-side experience with the practical hardware to back it up across every season you carry it.
The Weatherby Orion SxS (OG12028DSM) in 20-gauge is a confident choice for the dedicated upland hunter or sporting clays shooter who wants a traditionally styled, choke-ready double gun built to perform across a full hunting calendar.
