Franchi’s first sideplate-style shotgun hearkens back to a time when European gunsmiths crafted the most elegant firearms in the world. Sleek lines, lustrous wood, fine engraving and gold inlays combine to make this one of the most beautiful shotguns you’ve ever laid eyes on. The receiver is color-casehardened steel featuring exquisite engraving with gold inlay to match the gold-plated trigger. The Prince of Wales stock and Schnabel forend are AA-grade walnut with checkering to ensure a firm grip. A red fiber-optic front bar on the ventilated rib atop handsome 28-inch glossy blued barrels lets you get on target quickly. Five extended screw-in chokes are included. Shoulder a Franchi Instinct Sideplate to experience its instinctive pointing and smooth swing. You’ll understand why a Franchi just feels right.

Features

• Incorporates automatic ejectors to quickly clear spent hulls and faciliate fast reloading
• A horizontal barrel selector switch on the tang-mounted safety allows for the choice of which barrel fires first
• The monobloc receiver is machined from a solid steel block and features a color case-hardened finish for a refined and classic look and increased durability
• Vents between the two barrels assist in the dissipation of heat when multiple shots are fired in quick succession

Versatile and adaptable, the Weatherby Orion Sporting Shotgun is fit with a four-way adjustable comb that greatly assists in making the shotgun come to shoulder perfectly each and every time. The Sporting’s longer 30″ barrels make for a much more deliberate swing and are ported to help reduce recoil and aid in transitioning to a second clay target. The vented rib helps dissipate heat and optical distortion when shooting volume climbs, and a fiber optic bead glows brightly in the sunlight. Automatic ejectors kick spent hulls from the chambers, and the extended and knurled chokes are easily swapped depending on the target presentation.
