The Retay USA Gordion Waterfowl Inertia Plus delivers reliable cycling performance for waterfowl hunting with its proven inertia-driven action. This 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun features a 26-inch deep bore drilled barrel optimized for consistent shot patterns and reduced recoil.
What Makes This Different
The inertia-driven operating system eliminates gas ports and pistons that require frequent cleaning after muddy marsh hunts. Unlike gas-operated alternatives, this system maintains consistent cycling across various load weights from light target loads to heavy 3-inch magnum shells. The deep bore drilling process creates uniform barrel walls that enhance pattern density and reduce felt recoil by up to 15% compared to standard drilling methods.
Key Features
- Inertia Plus operating system cycles 2¾" and 3" shells reliably without adjustment
- 26-inch deep bore drilled barrel with 3-inch chamber capacity
- 4+1 shell capacity with drop-lever magazine release
- Matte black anodized aluminum receiver resists corrosion
- Black synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces for wet conditions
- Chrome-lined barrel and chamber for extended durability
- Interchangeable choke tube system accepts standard Invector tubes
Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling with loads ranging from 1⅛-ounce target loads to 1⅝-ounce waterfowl magnums. The 26-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity for steel shot while maintaining manageable swing characteristics in blinds and boats. Weather sealing at critical junction points protects internal components from moisture and debris during extended marsh hunts.
