It is light enough to carry all day behind dogs, and with a barrel for each choke you can pick the tighter or more open barrel for each shot.12 Gauge ChamberingThe 12 Gauge is chambered for shells up to the length listed in the specifications below. Shorter shells of the same gauge also fit and cycle normally. Choose shot size and choke to match the game: smaller shot and open chokes for close-flushing upland birds and clays, larger shot and tighter chokes for waterfowl and turkey at longer range.Care and Setup TipsBefore the season, pattern the shotgun with the loads and chokes you intend to hunt with. Shoot at a large sheet of paper at 30 to 40 yards and check where the center of the pattern lands and how evenly the pellets spread. That tells you which choke and load combination works best and whether the gun shoots where you look.Clean the bore and chokes after each outing, especially after waterfowl hunts in wet or salty conditions, and put a drop of choke tube lube on the threads so the tubes come out easily. Keep the action and stock dry, and store the gun in a dry place. A well kept Weatherby shotgun will last for many seasons.Choosing AmmunitionUse only shells of the correct gauge and a length no longer than the chamber listed in the specifications. Steel and other non-toxic shot is required for waterfowl, so check that your choke tubes are rated for the shot type you use. Heavier loads give more reach on large birds, while lighter loads are more pleasant for clays and upland hunting.Is It Right for You?Browse more Weatherby firearms and ammunition or compare other shotguns.Product SpecificationsManufacturer: WeatherbyModel: Orion SxSPart Number: OG11228DSMUPC: 747115452743Gauge: 12 GaugeChamber: 3 in.Action: Side-by-SideBarrel Length: 28 in.Chokes: Yildiz IM, IC, M, F, SKSights: Brass BeadFinish: Stock: Oil rubbed grade A walnut; Receiver / Barrel / Top Rib: Matte blueLength of Pull: 13.75-14.75Drop at Comb: 1.5 inDrop at Heel: 2.25 inOverall Length: 46 inWeight: 7.3 lbFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the barrel length?28 inches.Which chokes are included?Yildiz IM, IC, M, F, SK.Does it come with a scope or sights?It has Brass Bead sights.How do I buy it?Firearms ship to a licensed FFL dealer near you.
