The goal was to find a premium, easy carrying, lightweight and versatile shotgun that had new technology and was capable of shooting every load on the market. My everyday do-it-all gun that I would use 95% of the time. 

Is the Weatherby Orion the best budget chukar shotgun? I ended up buying a Weatherby Orion 20g in matte blue. Not only was It was very affordable, but it also had all the attributes needed to be a great chukar gun. It was light and snappy with 26" barrels, a great length for chasing fast moving birds. The wood and matte blue receiver aren't anything fancy but you also won't feel bad beating it up.
