For hunters and tactical shooters who prioritize silence, reliability, and a lightweight carry platform, a bolt-action 20 gauge offers a compelling balance of performance and maneuverability. Whether stalking woodcock on tight cover or carrying a versatile field gun for mixed-bag hunting, the right shotgun action and features make all the difference.

RETAY USA GORDION [MONB] combines a patented inertia repeating action with practical field features to deliver quiet, dependable cycling without sacrificing weight or corrosion resistance. Shop this product

Action and Handling

The Gordion series is built on Retay’s patented Inertia Plus repeating action that prevents the bolt from being bumped out of battery and permits intentionally quiet bolt closing to avoid alerting game. For upland or blind hunting where a snapped bolt can spook birds, that feature is a tactical advantage. The 26-inch barrel and 3-inch chamber pair with a 4-shell magazine tube capacity (loaded with 2.75-inch shells) to keep weight down while offering enough on-board ammunition for most field days.

Chassis, Sights, and Field Durability

A lightweight synthetic stock and forearm resist moisture and corrosion, making the gun a low-maintenance choice for wet environments. The single-bead style fiber optic front bead gives a clear sight picture without clutter—ideal for quick target acquisition in thick cover. The package includes a shell limiter and sling swivel adapter for easy carry and safety management in the field.

Choke Options and Versatility

RETAY USA GORDION [MONB] ships with five MaraPro series chokes (C, IC, M, IM, F), enabling pattern tuning from tight waterfowl patterns to wider upland spreads. This makes the platform highly adaptable: swap chokes for distance or dense cover without changing guns. Midway through a season you can adjust point-of-impact and spread to match weather and quarry.

At $869.99, the combination of a quiet inertia action, corrosion-resistant synthetic furniture, full choke set, and a camo finish tuned to Mossy Oak New Bottomland represents solid value for a purpose-built 20 gauge bolt-action. View product details and pricing
