Sheridan, WY – In August, Weatherby added the Orion ® SxS to its line of shotguns and today they add a 410 to this classic looking shotgun. It’s been decades since Weatherby has offered a 410 so this new side by side should be a welcomed announcement for uplanders, small game hunters, and small-bore enthusiasts. The new offering is a true 410 receiver and is scaled down from the 20 ga version launched just a few months ago.
It accepts up to 3” shells and the barrel is ready for today’s modern shot selections. Like the 12 and 20 ga options this new shotgun features a straight English stock, splinter forend, 5 extended chokes, and double triggers. It has a swamp rib with a brass bead to ensure a clear sight picture for quick and accurate wing shooting.
Made for conscious hunters, the side by side features extractors to make sure empty shells end up in your pocket and not on the landscape. Starting at just 6.1lbs, this is a shotgun you can carry all day long. Orion SxS MSRP:$1,099
Mechanical Double Trigger
Reliable mechanical double trigger. The front trigger fires the right barrel, and the rear trigger fires the left barrel.
Ambidextrous Tang Safety
The tang safety is ergonomically placed for quick transitions from the safe position to the fire position.
Swamped Rib
A classic swamped rib is used to aid the shooter in keeping their face on the stock and allows the user to see between the barrel silhouettes which encourages focus on the target
Straight English Stock with Splinter Forend
A classic straight English stock with a slim splinter forend allows for natural pointing and an easy transition between the two triggers.
Extended Chokes Tubes
Comes with 5 extended choke tubes (SK, IC, Mod, IM, Full) and utilizes the Yildiz choke system.
Long Tang Trigger Guard:
The long tang trigger guard adds strength and additional stability to the wrist of the stock.
