The Retay USA Gordion Turkey delivers specialized turkey hunting performance with its 3-inch chamber capacity and precision-engineered inertia operating system. This 20-gauge semi-automatic shotgun combines Turkish craftsmanship with modern hunting technology to provide reliable cycling and consistent shot placement in challenging field conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional gas-operated systems, the Gordion Turkey utilizes an inertia-driven action that reduces maintenance requirements and functions reliably in adverse weather conditions. The specialized turkey configuration features a shorter 22-inch barrel optimized for dense pattern delivery at typical gobbler ranges of 20-40 yards. The Mossy Oak New Bottomland camouflage provides superior concealment in hardwood and mixed timber environments where turkeys typically roost and feed.
Key Features
- Inertia-operated semi-automatic action cycles 2¾-inch and 3-inch shells reliably
- 22-inch barrel length optimized for turkey load pattern density and maneuverability
- 4+1 shell capacity with 3-inch chamber for maximum payload options
- Mossy Oak New Bottomland camouflage finish covers entire firearm
- Fixed pistol grip stock provides secure hold during rapid target acquisition
- Fiber optic front sight enhances low-light visibility during dawn hunts
- Chrome-lined barrel and chamber resist corrosion from modern steel shot loads
Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling with turkey loads ranging from 1¼-ounce to 2-ounce payloads. The inertia system maintains function in temperatures from -10°F to 120°F without adjustment. Pattern performance with premium turkey loads typically achieves 70-80% pellet counts in a 10-inch circle at 40 yards. The pistol grip stock configuration reduces felt recoil compared to straight stock designs while maintaining quick shouldering characteristics.
