More Weatherby on the way including the new 20 g Orions

[Prophet River]

Are the Orion's Turkish-made? That's Huglu money for a premium brand, IMO.

Sort of. They are made in Turkey but with Weatherby people running the plant.

Our next load should include these Backcountry special editions.
243, 240,270 Win, 6.5 CM, 6.5 RPM, 6.5-300, 300Wby

Here you go. Most specs should be the same as other BC rifles.
Interesting thing is all are WY rifles but the 6.5 CM will have CA (PB) actions

We also have the Vanguard 'Meateater' editions in .257 Wby, .300 Wby, 6.5/300 Wby, and 6.5 CM coming about the same time.

Canada needs 340 Wby Ammo.

Yes, we do. It is not for lack of having it on order.

It caught me off guard as well, I didn't think there were any Orions in 20 gauge!

I'm really torn since I really want an O/U 20 gauge, but I have enough projects going on that a Silver Pigeon is out of the question. I haven't seen any pictures of them but am concerned about the forearm contours and it looking "chunky". But if it's a Weatherby-branded/backed OU (which is pretty popular on shotgunworld.com) in 20 gauge with appropriately scaled receiver and "looks better in person" as far as being slim and trim, I think I want one!
