Hey, not everyone is 6-feet-plus and 200 pounds. For hunters on the smaller scale, I’m ready for gas-operated action with a more compact stock and a fast-swinging 24” barrel.
I’ve been used as a jon boat paddle. I’ve been belly crawled through mud. I’ve scored triples on ducks, doubles on pheasants and just cracked 100 straight at trap league. I am one tough shooter.

With matte-finished metalwork and matching matte Turkish walnut stock, the Orion Matte Blue is right at home chasing birds, whether that’s chukar in the mountains or quail in the desert.

Fitted with 26″ or 28″ barrels in 12 gauge or 26″ in 20 gauge, the Orion Matte Blue has a vented top rib fit with a single brass bead and is shipped with a set of interchangeable chokes.
