The Retay Gordion Upland is a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun with a 26-inch chrome-lined, deep-bore barrel and a Turkish walnut stock. At 6.10 lbs it's on the lighter side for a field gun, which matters over a long day of walking upland cover.

Detailed Features 

 
The vent-rib barrel is chrome-lined for corrosion resistance and durability. A TruGlo fiber optic front sight helps with target acquisition in low-light conditions, useful for early or late hunts. The Marapro choke system ships with four chokes (Cylindrical, Full, Improved Cylinder, Modified), covering the typical range of upland and sporting clays scenarios. 
 
The RTS trigger system is designed for consistent pull quality. The crossbolt safety is positioned for standard operation. Swivel studs on the stock let you attach a sling without aftermarket work. 
 
The Turkish walnut stock is the visual highlight. The wood grain and blued metal contrast well. It's a functional choice for a field gun that also looks good doing it. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

• Upland hunting: the 26-inch barrel and 6.10 lb weight suit pheasant, quail, and similar field work. 
• Sporting clays and skeet: interchangeable chokes and the fiber optic sight work for clay target sports. 
• General field use: the 3-inch chamber handles most common 12-gauge loads.

Owners of the Retay Gordion Upland generally have positive impressions, with the Turkish walnut finish and light weight getting the most consistent mentions.

The aesthetics draw praise. People like the walnut-and-blued combination, and for a field gun in this price range, the wood quality is considered good. The 6.10 lb weight is noted as a real practical benefit on long hunts. Cycling is described as smooth with standard field loads, and recoil is rated as manageable for a semi-auto 12-gauge.

The critical feedback tends to center on a few specific issues. Some users report feeding problems or occasional jams with lighter or lower-brass loads, a fairly common complaint for gas-operated semi-autos that may need a break-in period or prefer higher-base shells. The trigger has been called out as a weak point by a few shooters who would prefer a crisper pull. Parts availability and customer service have come up as concerns for some owners.

Overall it's a well-regarded field shotgun for the price. The walnut stock and light weight are genuine differentiators at this tier. Buyers planning to run a full range of loads may want to verify compatibility during initial range sessions.
