For shooters and hunters who want a lightweight, reliable semi-auto that balances low recoil with proven cycling reliability, the right 20-gauge platform can make all the difference in the field. Whether you’re walking upland cover or carrying into wetlands, a firearm that stays in battery, resists the elements, and offers quick, predictable patterns is a practical choice.

RETAY USA GORDION The Gordion series is built on Retay’s patented Inertia Plus repeating action that prevents the bolt from being bumped out of battery and enables quiet bolt closing — a feature that keeps you from announcing your position to wary game. Chambered in 20 gauge with a 28-inch barrel and a 3-inch chamber, this Semi Auto model features a durable synthetic stock and forearm finished in the Max 7 Realtree camo pattern. The magazine tube accepts four shells when using 2.75-inch ammunition; a shell limiter and sling swivel adapter are included. The package also comes with five MaraPro series chokes (C, IC, M, IM, F) for field-proven patterning.

Design and Inertia Plus Action

The defining trait of the RETAY USA GORDION is the Inertia Plus action. This system reduces the chance of the bolt being jarred out of battery, improving safety and reliability when moving through dense cover or bouncing on a blind. Quiet bolt closing is advantageous for upland and waterfowl hunters trying to avoid spooking birds. The synthetic stock and forearm resist corrosion and moisture, making the shotgun well suited to wetland environments and winter use.

Why 20 Gauge Works Here

Twenty gauge strikes a balance between manageable recoil and effective pattern energy, ideal for hunters who want longer days in the field without fatigue. The 28-inch barrel on this model helps with sight radius and consistency, and the 3-inch chamber gives flexibility to run standard loads. With five chokes included, you can tune shot spread from close-driven birds to mid-range passes.
