Key Features
- Inertia Plus System – Why it matters: This gas-free design stays cleaner longer and cycles reliably in dusty, muddy turkey blinds. You won’t have to clean it after every hunt.
- 22-inch Chrome-Lined Barrel – Why it matters: The shorter barrel swings fast in tight cover, and the chrome lining extends barrel life while resisting corrosion from moisture and cleaning solvents.
- TruGlo Fiber Optic Front Sight – Why it matters: The bright fiber optic dot grabs light even in low-dawn conditions, helping you align the bead quickly when a gobbler struts into range.
- Mossy Oak Bottomland Camo Stock – Why it matters: This classic pattern blends into leaf litter, dirt, and early-season vegetation so you stay hidden from sharp-eyed turkeys.
- Microcell Recoil Pad – Why it matters: Reduces felt recoil from heavy turkey loads, making the 20-gauge comfortable for youth shooters and smaller-framed hunters.
Who It’s For
The Retay Gordion Turkey is ideal for the family hunter who wants a lightweight, low-recoil turkey gun that a teenager or smaller adult can carry all day. It also suits experienced hunters who prefer a 20-gauge for its portability and reduced noise signature in the woods.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Reliable inertia cycling, comfortable recoil pad, excellent camo pattern, fast-handling 22-inch barrel, fiber optic front sight.
- Cons: The inertia system can be sensitive to very light loads under 1,200 fps — stick with 3-inch turkey loads for best cycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Retay Gordion Turkey cycle light target loads?
It cycles most 2¾-inch loads over 1,200 fps reliably. For light 1,100 fps target shells, you may experience occasional failure to eject. Stick with 3-inch turkey loads for 100% reliability during hunting.
Is this shotgun suitable for left-handed shooters?
The Retay Gordion Turkey is a right-handed ejection model. Left-handed shooters can still use it, but ejected shells will fly past the face. Retay does not currently offer a left-handed version of this model.
Does the Mossy Oak Bottomland pattern match other gear?
Yes, Mossy Oak Bottomland is a standard pattern used by many hunting apparel and accessory brands. It coordinates well with bottoms, hats, and vests from Mossy Oak’s lineup.
What chokes come with the gun?
The Retay Gordion Turkey ships with three Beretta/Benelli-pattern choke tubes: full, modified, and improved cylinder. The full choke is ideal for turkey loads at typical ranges (20–40 yards).
How do I clean the inertia system?
Retay recommends disassembling the bolt assembly every 500 rounds or after heavy use in wet conditions. Use a quality solvent like Hoppe’s No. 9 and lubricate the inertia spring with a light oil. Avoid over-lubricating — a thin film is all that’s needed.
