For hunters and tactical shooters who demand a low-profile, reliable platform, a compact 20-gauge that balances maneuverability with proven repeatability is essential. The right shotgun should offer quiet handling in the field, corrosion resistance for all-weather use, and a set of tools — chokes, sights, and adapters — that keep you mission-ready.

RETAY USA GORDION COMPACT

The Gordion series is built on Retay’s patented Inertia Plus repeating action designed to prevent the bolt from being bumped out of battery and to permit quiet bolt closing — a tactical advantage when you don’t want to alert game or compromise a stakeout. The Compact model is chambered in 20 gauge, fitted with a 26-inch barrel and 3-inch chamber, and comes finished in a custom “Max 7” Realtree camo pattern.

Action and Field Performance

The Inertia Plus system reduces the chance of out-of-battery incidents and enables the quiet bolt close feature — critical when stalking waterfowl or upland birds. The semi-auto cycling is smooth with properly loaded 2.75″ shells; the magazine tube accepts four rounds in that length, and the included shell limiter helps manage capacity and follow local regulations.

Durability and Ergonomics

RETAY USA GORDION COMPACT features a lightweight synthetic stock and forearm for superior resistance to corrosion and moisture — ideal for marsh, wetland, or wet-weather fieldwork. A sling swivel adapter is included for fast carry transitions. At an MSRP of $899.99, it’s positioned as a tactical-grade compact shotgun with premium action features.

Sights, Chokes, and Versatility

A single-bead fiber optic front sight offers excellent visibility without cluttering the sight picture. The package includes five MaraPro series chokes (C, IC, M, IM, F), which gives you immediate patterning options across ranges and shot types.

Why Choose 20 Gauge?

20 gauge offers reduced recoil compared to 12 gauge while maintaining effective energy and pattern density for most bird and small game applications. It’s also easier to shoulder and quicker to aim for shooters who prioritize precision and follow-up shots in fast-paced scenarios.
