The Orion Sporting SSC is built on a boxlock over/under action and holds two rounds, with chambers cut for 3-inch 12-gauge shells. It is marked "ATASCADERO, CALIF MADE IN JAPAN," reflecting its Japanese manufacture and Weatherby branding.
The blued barrels feature a vent rib and porting, along with screw-in chokes. As configured, the top barrel is fitted with a Modified choke and the bottom with an Improved Cylinder choke. Sight alignment is aided by a bead sight on the vent rib.
The receiver wears a satin silver finish with "SSC" marking and pairs with a single gold-colored trigger and manual tang safety. The walnut stock has a pistol grip with checkering and a rubber recoil pad, and the beavertail forend features wraparound checkering.
