Manufactured by Yildiz in Turkey for Weatherby, this Orion SxS carries appropriate markings: YILDIZ – TÜRKİYE, Sheridan WY, and WEATHERBY. The side-by-side action uses an extractor system (no automatic ejectors) and is paired with double mechanical triggers and a tang-operated manual safety.
The barrels measure 28" and are chrome-lined for durability and easy maintenance. A solid, matted rib runs the length of the tubes and is topped with a brass bead front sight for a clean sight picture. Chambers are cut for both 2 3/4" and 3" shells.
The walnut furniture features a semi‑pistol (Prince‑of‑Wales) stock, a splinter forend, and crisp checkering, finished with a recoil pad. Length of pull measures 15.0", offering a longer, steady mount.
The gun uses Weatherby’s Yildiz Pro choke system, which is steel-shot-certified and rated through Modified. It includes three extended tubes—Improved Modified, Full, and Modified—providing useful options for pattern tuning.
This is a current-production offering with an MSRP of $1,099, combining traditional handling with practical, modern components in a straightforward side-by-side package.
