WEATHERBY ORION SPORTING SHOTGUN

Recommended Posts

What do you guys think of this model? Don't know much about weatherby except that they've been around a while and I think make a pretty good hunting rifle/shotgun.

Have the opportunity to buy one of these for a pretty good price. It's a 30"

Held it and feels good when I lift it to ready to shot. Haven't shot it and won't be able to. Using the link below just to show model.

Really want a Beretta, but really don't need a Beretta, maybe someday. But do want a O/U

A friend of mine has one of these. I’ve handled it but not shot it. It was nicely made, the finish was spectacular. 
 

I have a Weatherby MkV magnum hunting rifle, and it’s a very nicely made, very accurate rifle. 
If that shotgun is anything like the quality of my Wby rifle, I’d say go for it.

Ok, next question to the pro's

Chokes

Really enjoy shooting the weatherby feels great and want to keep it running top notch.

Been reading and Getting mixed comments. So what's a few more.

What is your routine for cleaning, chokes, barrels and how often.

Run a boresnake through every once in a while, make sure the chokes are tight (if you don't have a choke wrench, a quarter will work in a pinch).  Oil as necessary.

I can’t really think of the last time I cleaned my Citori. I have about a thousand rounds through it over various clay shoots. It keeps chugging along. 
 

Maybe I’ll make that my weekend project.

That's kind of the mixed comments I'm getting, at least we're consistent.
