Retay Gordion Shotgun

The inertia-driven system is designed for consistent cycling, but like many inertia shotguns, it performs best with standard to heavy hunting loads. While it may cycle lighter target loads, it is primarily engineered for the reliability required in the field with hunting ammunition.

Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the single-pin removable trigger group. You can easily pop the pin out to remove the entire assembly for cleaning, which is a significant advantage for hunters who frequently encounter dirt or debris in the field.

The finish is durable and designed specifically for the rugged conditions of turkey hunting. While any camo finish can show wear over time with heavy use, this coating is applied to withstand the elements and provide effective concealment in wooded environments.

The Gordion uses the proprietary MaraPro choke system. While it comes with five interchangeable tubes, you should ensure any aftermarket chokes you purchase are specifically compatible with the Retay MaraPro threading to avoid damaging the barrel.

The 24-inch barrel is optimized for maneuverability in tight cover, making it excellent for turkey hunting or dense brush. If you plan on shooting trap or sporting clays, you might find a longer barrel offers better swing momentum, but for field hunting, this length is very versatile.

The included recoil pad is designed to absorb a noticeable amount of energy, which helps mitigate the kick of 3-inch magnum shells. While recoil is subjective, most shooters find it makes extended sessions in the field significantly more comfortable.
