Bklynracer 1,263 Posted July 26, 2020 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 https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/shotguns/weatherby-orion-sporting-shotgun/p/1507502 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Displaced Texan 11,731 Posted July 26, 2020 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.

Bklynracer 1,263 Posted July 27, 2020 Thanks guys, I read the online reviews, they pretty much seem ok, was just wondering if anyone had one or had hands on experience with one, And yes if I get it you guys can shot it and the next meet up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Displaced Texan 11,731 Posted October 10, 2020 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. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
