The Retay Gordion 12 Gauge Cantilever Rifled Slug (Retay part no. GORSLBLK24) is a dedicated slug shotgun built on Retay’s Inertia-Plus semi-automatic action, purpose-made for hunters who want rifle-like accuracy from a shotgun platform. The 24-inch barrel is deep-bore drilled and rifled with an optimized, lengthened forcing cone for tight groups with sabot slugs, and an integrated cantilevered Picatinny rail lets shooters mount a scope directly to the barrel for a true point of aim that doesn’t shift with a removable choke or receiver-mounted optic. A 7075 aluminum alloy lower receiver keeps the gun light without sacrificing strength, and the inertia-driven action cycles reliably without siphoning gas into a fouled action. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, it is built for deer hunters who need a dedicated, accurate slug gun.
