The Full choke is designed for longer shots, concentrating the shot for maximum effectiveness at greater distances, ideal for waterfowl or larger game where precision is paramount. This comprehensive choke system ensures you are never under-equipped for the task at hand.
The Orion 1 is chambered in the ubiquitous 12 Gauge, a standard for its power and wide availability of ammunition. So what does this mean for you?

The shotgun’s 2-round capacity is standard for an over/under configuration and is perfectly suited for hunting regulations and sporting clay disciplines that require controlled follow-up shots. The tang safety is a classic and intuitive design, providing positive engagement and disengagement, ensuring you can operate it quickly and confidently when the moment arises. This placement allows for immediate access without compromising your grip on the firearm.
