Description
When you slip a Retay GPS XL Turkey 12 Gauge 24″ Mossy Oak Pistol Grip into the truck before a spring morning, you’re not just carrying a shotgun—you’re shouldering a purpose-built tom stopper. This pump gun is chambered for 3.5″ shells, wears a Mossy Oak Bottomland finish, and comes ready to roll with TruGlo fiber optics and a set of Marapro chokes. It’s the kind of tool that makes a gobbler at forty yards feel like a sure thing.

Key Features
- 24″ Vent-Rib Barrel with Chrome-Lined Bore – Why it matters: A shorter barrel swings fast in thick cover, and the chrome lining resists corrosion and fouling from heavy turkey loads, keeping patterns tight season after season.
- TruGlo Fiber Optic Front Sight – Why it matters: Low-light woods call for a bright, quick-to-acquire sight picture; this fiber optic grabs every bit of dawn light so you can center the bead on a beard before the gobbler slips away.
- Mossy Oak Bottomland Synthetic Stock with Pistol Grip – Why it matters: The pistol grip gives you a natural, locked-in hold for fast follow-up shots, while the camo pattern blends into hardwoods and creek bottoms where Easterns and Rios live.
- Marapro Interchangeable Choke System – Why it matters: Turkey hunting demands tight patterns at varying ranges; swapping chokes lets you dial in from Extra Full for long beards to Modified for close timber work.
- Chambered for 3.5″ Shells – Why it matters: When a longbeard hangs up at 50 yards, you need the payload and velocity of a 3.5″ magnum to put him down clean—this gun handles that with authority.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for the hunter who walks the edge of a cornfield at daybreak, who knows the difference between a Jake and a mature gobbler, and who wants a reliable pump that won’t break the bank. It’s also a fine choice for the shooter who appreciates a pistol grip for better control when the adrenaline hits.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Affordable price point for a 3.5″ magnum-ready turkey gun with a quality camo finish.
- Pro: Light enough to carry all morning but heavy enough to soak up recoil from heavy loads.
- Con: The synthetic pistol-grip stock does not include a recoil pad as thick as some aftermarket options; you may want to add a limb saver for extended range sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Retay GPS XL Turkey come with a case?
No, it ships in a plain cardboard box. We recommend picking up a soft case or a hard case for storage and transport.
What choke tube threads does it use?
It uses the Retay Marapro system, which is compatible with standard Remington-style choke tubes. That means you can swap in aftermarket turkey chokes from brands like Patternmaster or Carlson’s.
Is the pistol grip removable?
No, the stock is a one-piece synthetic pistol grip design. It’s not interchangeable with a traditional stock, so be sure you like the feel before you buy.
Can I use 2.75″ target loads for practice?
Yes, it cycles 2.75″ and 3″ shells just fine. Use it for clays or plinking to get comfortable with the gun before turkey season.
How does the recoil compare to a semi-auto?
It kicks more than a gas-operated semi-auto, but the 7.2 lb weight and pistol grip help you manage it. A good recoil pad upgrade makes a big difference.
