The Retay Gordion 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun delivers reliable cycling and consistent performance for waterfowl hunting and upland game. This Turkish-manufactured shotgun features a 28-inch barrel optimized for long-range accuracy and complete Max-7 camouflage coverage for effective concealment in marsh and field environments.
What Makes This Different
The Gordion utilizes an inertia-driven operating system that functions reliably with a wide range of 12-gauge loads from 2¾-inch target loads to 3½-inch magnum shells. Unlike gas-operated systems that require regular cleaning of gas ports and pistons, the inertia system self-regulates based on recoil energy and maintains consistent cycling even in adverse weather conditions. The chrome-lined barrel and receiver provide corrosion resistance for extended field use.
Key Features
- Inertia-driven semi-automatic action cycles 2¾", 3", and 3½" shells reliably
- 28-inch chrome-lined barrel with 3-inch chamber and mobile choke system
- Complete Max-7 camouflage pattern on stock, forearm, and receiver
- Synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces for secure handling
- 5+1 round capacity with magazine cut-off feature
- Fiber optic front sight with adjustable rear sight
- Includes three interchangeable choke tubes (IC, M, F)
Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling with various load weights and shot sizes, making this shotgun versatile for different hunting scenarios. The 28-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity for waterfowl hunting at extended ranges while maintaining manageable swing characteristics for upland birds. Weather sealing at critical joints prevents moisture infiltration during wet conditions.
