I picked up my new Weatherby Orion Compact 20 gauge over/under from Scheels a week ago. First impression, looks good, balance is very nice. When I pick it up to my shoulder it naturally fits me very well. I'm 5'6", so a shorter length of pull works well for me. The action was stiff but that was to be expected. At 5.75 lbs empty, it'll be a great pheasant chasing shotgun.

At the Golden Gun Club skeet range, I was using the old push button instead of voice actuated controls. It was just me. That being said, I still was busting about 85% while having to push the button and them out the gun.

For $1100 at Scheels, it is money well spent.
 
The older Orions are better built guns, but the new ones are still a superior gun to other Turkish Aluminum frame guns.

I got rid of mine, because it stayed in the safe, but only because the other options are much nicer guns.
