Retay Gordion Bottomland 20 Gauge 26" Semi-Automatic Shotgun

The Retay Gordion Bottomland is a 20-gauge semi-automatic shotgun built for hunters who want a lighter-recoiling platform without sacrificing performance. At 26 inches with Mossy Oak New Bottomland camouflage, this inertia-piston gun pairs a soft-shooting 20-gauge cartridge with modern ergonomics, making it a solid choice for upland game, waterfowl, or clay work. Retay's inertia-plus rotating bolt design is straightforward and reliable—no complicated gas tubes to foul up or maintain.

The gun handles both 2¾-inch and 3-inch shells from the factory, giving you flexibility in ammunition choice and shot selection. A set of five interchangeable MaraPro chokes (C, IC, M, IM, F) lets you dial in your pattern for different game and ranges. The cross-bolt safety is intuitive, and the automatic anti-repeat trigger prevents accidental double-fires. At just 6 pounds 8 ounces, this 20-gauge won't tire you out over a long day in the field.

Fit matters on a shotgun, and the Gordion addresses that with an adjustable shim system and multiple drop options at heel and comb to match your natural mount. The 14.37-inch length of pull suits most adult frames, and the sculpted microcell recoil pad tames what little kick a 20-gauge produces. The flat 8mm hunting-style rib and single red fiber-optic bead keep your sight picture fast and clear when birds flush or targets break.

This is a workhorse semi-auto for hunters who don't need magnum power and appreciate the reduced recoil and ammunition costs of the 20-gauge platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotshell sizes does the Retay Gordion shoot?

The Gordion is chambered for both 2¾-inch and 3-inch shotshells, so you can choose lighter recoil with 2¾" loads or more shot and velocity with 3" rounds. The gun also has a minimum load specification of 3 dram, 1⅛ oz, so check your ammunition before loading.

Can I adjust the stock fit on this 20-gauge semi-auto?

Yes. The Gordion comes with an adjustable shim set that lets you customize drop at the heel (adjustable to 1.77", 1.96", or 2.36") and maintains a drop at comb of 1.45" ±.04". The length of pull is 14.37 inches. These adjustments help you dial in a natural point-of-aim and consistent mounting.

What chokes come with the Retay Gordion, and are they easy to swap?

Five interchangeable MaraPro chokes ship with the gun: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. They're quick to swap in the field so you can match your pattern to different game and distances.

Is the Retay Gordion a good choice for someone new to semi-automatic shotguns?

The inertia-piston action is straightforward and reliable with minimal maintenance—no complicated gas tubes. The soft-shooting 20-gauge platform produces less recoil than 12-gauge guns, making it forgiving for newer shooters. The automatic anti-repeat trigger and cross-bolt safety are intuitive, and the lightweight 6 lbs 8 oz frame is easy to handle all day.
