Detailed Features 

The break-open action loads two shells and is simple to verify clear. The ribbed barrel with adjustable choke lets you tune the shot spread for the target. The top tang safety is ambidextrous. At 6.7 lbs in 20 gauge the gun is light enough for long days in the field without fatigue. The blued finish is traditional for side-by-sides and provides corrosion protection. 
 

Usage 

The 20-gauge side-by-side format has a long history in upland hunting and clay sports. At 6.7 lbs this gun is comfortable to carry through pheasant or quail country for hours. The adjustable choke gives flexibility for different birds and distances without swapping choke tubes. The classic blued finish and side-by-side barrel arrangement make it a natural fit for hunters who prefer traditional aesthetics.

Owners of the Weatherby Orion SxS 20 gauge focus most often on the light weight and the adjustable choke as practical advantages. At 6.7 lbs it's genuinely comfortable to carry all day in the field, and the choke flexibility eliminates the need to carry a tube wrench and separate tubes.

The blued finish and overall appearance draw consistently positive remarks from users who prefer traditional-looking guns.

Price is the main critical topic. The Orion SxS sits at a point where buyers compare it carefully against other 20-gauge side-by-sides. Most land on adequate value, but a few note that some fine-tuning may be needed for optimal performance out of the box.
