Available from trusted firearms experts like DEGuns, this shotgun redefines reliability and ease of use in the field.

Why Choose the Retay Gordion? Unparalleled Reliability for Waterfowl Hunting

When you're out in the blind, enduring the elements, the last thing you want to worry about is a firearm malfunction. The Retay Gordion is purpose-built to eliminate such concerns, making it an ideal choice for:

• Dedicated waterfowl hunters: Whether you're targeting elusive ducks in flooded timber or geese soaring high overhead, the Gordion delivers consistent cycling even with varying loads.
• Hunters operating in challenging climates: Its inertia-driven system is less susceptible to freezing conditions and fouling compared to gas-operated shotguns, making it perfect for cold, wet environments.
• Shooters seeking maximum reliability: The patented Inertia Plus System ensures the action locks securely every time, preventing misfires that can cost you a bird or ruin a hunt.
• Those prioritizing ease of maintenance: A single-pin removable trigger group allows for quick and thorough cleaning, vital after a day exposed to mud, grit, and water.
• Anyone looking for a lightweight, ergonomic shotgun: At just 6.10 pounds, the Gordion significantly reduces fatigue during long treks to the blind or extended periods of carrying.

The Heart of Reliability: Retay's Inertia Plus System

What makes the Retay Gordion stand out in a crowded market of semi-automatic shotguns? It's the innovative Inertia Plus System, heralded as the world's most advanced inertia action. This groundbreaking technology is designed to solve common issues inherent in traditional inertia systems, specifically addressing "out of battery" misfires and unintended bolt disengagement.

How does the Inertia Plus System enhance your hunting experience?

• Guaranteed Lockup: The system ensures the rotating bolt positively locks into the chamber under all conditions. This means even if you subtly nudge the bolt out of battery while positioning yourself in the blind or quickly shouldering the gun, the Inertia Plus System intelligently re-engages the bolt, preparing the firearm to fire. This intelligent engagement virtually eliminates misfires caused by incomplete lockup, ensuring that when you pull the trigger, the shotgun fires.
• Enhanced Safety: By preventing unintended bolt disengagement, the system adds an extra layer of operational safety.
• Unrivaled Performance: This advanced mechanism guarantees consistent, reliable cycling of a wide range of loads, from light target loads to heavy 3-inch magnum waterfowl shells. You can count on your Retay Gordion to perform flawlessly, shot after shot, season after season.

This level of engineering provides hunters with supreme confidence, allowing them to focus on the target rather than the firearm's mechanics.

Precision Engineering: The Deep Bore Drilled Barrel and MaraPro Chokes

Accuracy and consistent patterns are non-negotiable for effective waterfowl hunting. The Retay Gordion excels in this regard, thanks to its superior barrel design and versatile choke system.

• 28-inch Deep Bore Drilled Barrel: Unlike conventionally hammered or button-rifled barrels, the Gordion's barrel is crafted using a deep bore drilling process. This method creates a perfectly concentric and smooth bore, which minimizes shot deformation as it travels down the barrel. The result? Tighter, more uniform shot patterns downrange, increasing your chances of clean kills and reducing cripples. The chrome-lined bore further enhances durability and simplifies cleaning.
• Vented Sight Rib and TruGlo Red Fiber Optic Front Sight: The Mara Barrel features an 8mm vented sight rib that helps dissipate heat and provides a clear sight plane. Paired with a highly visible TruGlo Red Fiber Optic Front Sight, acquiring fast-moving targets against various backgrounds becomes instinctive. This bright, contrasting front bead allows for rapid target acquisition, essential for flushing birds or those decoying at speed.
• MaraPro Choke Tubes: Versatility is key in waterfowl hunting, where distances and target sizes can vary dramatically. The Retay Gordion comes standard with a comprehensive set of five interchangeable MaraPro choke tubes: Cylinder (C), Improved Cylinder (IC), Modified (M), Improved Modified (IM), and Full (F). This allows you to fine-tune your shot pattern for any scenario, whether it's tight patterns for distant geese or wider spreads for decoying ducks at close range. This adaptability ensures optimal performance across a wide spectrum of hunting situations.

Ergonomics, Durability, and User-Friendly Design

The Retay Gordion is not just about internal mechanics; its external design focuses on comfort, durability, and practical use in the field.

• Lightweight Synthetic Stock: The shotgun features a robust synthetic stock with an integrated sling swivel mount, making it easy to carry through marshes, fields, and timber. The matte black finish offers discreet camouflage in various environments. At a remarkably light 6.10 lbs, this 12-gauge shotgun is one of the lightest in its class, drastically reducing shooter fatigue during long days of hunting or extensive practice sessions.
• Customizable Fit: Understanding that every shooter is unique, the Gordion includes stock fit adjustment shims. These shims allow you to customize the length of pull (standard 14.37 inches) and adjust the drop at comb (1.45") and heel (2.16"), ensuring a personalized fit that enhances natural pointability and recoil absorption. A proper gun fit translates directly to improved shooting performance and comfort.
• Robust Receiver and Finish: The receiver is crafted from durable aluminum, further reducing overall weight without compromising strength. Both the receiver and barrel feature a matte black anodized finish, providing excellent corrosion resistance against the elements encountered in waterfowl hunting.
• Simplified Maintenance: The Single Pin Removable Trigger Group is a testament to Retay's commitment to user-friendly design. Milled from solid billet aluminum with precision-cut internal components, this entire assembly can be quickly and easily removed by simply pulling one pin. This allows for thorough cleaning and inspection of critical internal components, a significant advantage for a shotgun frequently exposed to mud, water, and grit. This ease of maintenance ensures your Gordion remains in peak operating condition with minimal effort. The crossbolt manual safety is strategically placed for quick and intuitive operation.

What's Included? A Complete Package for the Discerning Hunter

Retay understands the needs of serious hunters, which is why the Gordion comes with a comprehensive suite of accessories to get you started:

• MegaLine ABS Fitted Hard Case: A durable, custom-fitted hard case with sturdy metal hinges is included for secure transport and storage of your shotgun. This case protects your investment from impacts and environmental factors.
• Stock Fit Adjustment Shims: As mentioned, these allow for personalized stock fitting to ensure optimal comfort and shooting performance.
• Sling Swivels: Integrated sling swivel mounts on the stock and forend are complemented by included sling swivels, making it convenient to attach your favorite sling for hands-free carrying in the field.
• Gun Oil: A bottle of high-quality gun oil is included to help you maintain your shotgun and keep its action smooth and reliable.

This complete package underscores the value and thoughtful design inherent in the Retay Gordion Waterfowl Inertia Plus 12 Gauge Shotgun.
