Features 

 
Five MaraPro chokes (Full, Modified, Improved Modified, Improved Cylinder, Skeet) are included, covering the full range from tight turkey or turkey-distance patterns to open skeet work.

The Retay Gordion Upland in 12 GA with the 28-inch walnut stock gets positive marks for its appearance and field handling. The Turkish walnut stock draws consistent compliments -- it looks like a traditional upland gun without the corresponding weight penalty, since the gun comes in at 6.10 lbs.

The semi-auto action is reported as reliable and smooth, and the five included chokes give enough range to cover different upland applications. Recoil management is frequently cited as a highlight for users who run extended sessions.

The most common criticism is sensitivity to lighter target loads, which can cause occasional cycling issues. Some users also mention wanting more aftermarket accessory options. Neither issue appears to seriously undercut the gun's reputation among upland hunters who run it with field-appropriate loads.
