Detailed Features 

At 6.10 lbs the Gordion is on the lighter side for a 12 gauge semi-auto, which matters on long days afield. The Truglo fiber optic front sight is bright enough to pick up quickly in low-light timber without slowing target acquisition. The Mossy Oak Bottomland pattern covers the stock and receiver, which helps in the bottomland hardwood environments where the pattern was designed to work. The RTS system cycles a wide range of 3-inch loads, and the five-choke set covers everything from cylinder bore to full. 
 

Target Audience 

The Gordion suits hunters who want a capable 12 gauge at a competitive price point. The straightforward operation and light weight make it accessible for newer shooters, while the full choke set and 3-inch chamber give experienced hunters room to work. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

• Waterfowl and upland hunting where the camo finish provides concealment 
• Sporting clays and sport shooting with the interchangeable choke system 
• Situations requiring quick follow-up shots, where the semi-auto action has a clear advantage over a pump
