Weatherby Orion Field 12 Gauge Over/Under Shotgun, 28-Inch Vent-Rib Barrels, Coin-Finished Engraved Receiver
Built by SKB in Japan, this discontinued Weatherby Orion Field combines a low-profile box-lock, Greener cross-bolt strength, and factory screw-in chokes. A coin-finished receiver with factory game-scene and scroll engraving, paired with gloss walnut furniture, gives the gun a refined field presence while maintaining the durability buyers expect from the respected Japanese-made Orion line.

What’s Included
- Weatherby Orion III Field 12 Gauge over/under shotgun
- Two factory IMC screw-in choke tubes (Modified, Modified)
The Orion III Field receiver wears a factory coin finish highlighted by detailed pheasant and duck scenes bordered with scrollwork. The engraving is crisp, showcasing Weatherby’s emphasis on presentation during the Japanese production era.
Its 28-inch vent-rib barrels feature a 3-inch chamber and the Weatherby IMC interchangeable choke system, providing flexibility for upland, clay, or waterfowl use. The included Modified tubes cover a wide range of loads, and additional tubes are readily available on the aftermarket.
A low-profile action with a Greener cross-bolt keeps the gun slim while adding lock-up strength. Ejectors are timed to kick spent hulls clear, and the single selective trigger allows quick barrel choice via the tang-mounted safety/selector.
The gloss walnut stock shows well-cut checkering on the pistol grip and rounded fore-end. A ventilated recoil pad with a white-line spacer, 14.25-inch length of pull, and neutral grip with slight right-hand cast-off promote comfortable shouldering and natural pointability.
