History

The Super Orion (known as 'Faisan' in Europe) represents Chapuis's entry into the over/under shotgun market. The technical design features one of the lowest receivers in the market with an interchangeable recoil plate located just underneath the barrel, conferring exceptional strength. The monobloc barrels personify the universally acknowledged quality of barrels struck in the St. Etienne region of France. Available in C30/C35 and Light versions using Fortal 7075 superalloy for significant weight savings.
