RETAY GPS-XL: Purpose-Built Turkey System
The RETAY GPS-XL is a dedicated 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun, specifically designed and optimized for demanding turkey hunting environments. Engineered for uncompromising reliability and consistent performance with 3.5-inch magnum loads, this platform provides the necessary power and reach to effectively engage distant targets. The GPS-XL integrates a robust operating system within a field-ready chassis, ensuring dependable cycling under adverse conditions encountered in varied terrain and weather.
Key Features
Retay Inertia-Plus® System
At the core of the GPS-XL’s operational reliability is Retay’s advanced Inertia-Plus® bolt system. This mechanism utilizes kinetic energy to cycle the action, minimizing moving parts and reducing potential points of failure compared to gas-operated designs. The system is designed to provide clean, consistent cycling across a broad range of ammunition, from standard field loads to heavy 3.5-inch magnum turkey specific cartridges. Its design also contributes to a cleaner operating firearm, reducing maintenance frequency in the field.
Barrel and Choke Configuration
The 24-inch chrome-lined barrel is optimized for pattern density with modern turkey ammunition, mitigating premature shot stringing. It is threaded for the Retay Marspro® choke system, allowing precise pattern tuning for specific loads and engagement distances. A dedicated extended turkey choke is typically included to maximize pellet count within the critical kill zone. The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics mounting, facilitating the integration of red dot sights or low-power scopes for enhanced aiming precision in low light or at extended ranges.
Ergonomics and Finish
The GPS-XL features synthetic stock and forend components, finished in a durable Timber camouflage pattern. This finish provides effective concealment in wooded environments and offers enhanced resistance to abrasions, moisture, and chemical exposure inherent to field use. The ergonomic stock design incorporates textured gripping surfaces, ensuring secure manipulation and control even when hands are wet or gloved. Integrated sling swivel studs facilitate convenient carry during extensive treks.
Durability and Field Readiness
Every component of the GPS-XL is selected for resilience and functional longevity. From the durable aircraft-grade aluminum receiver to the corrosion-resistant barrel and internals, this shotgun is constructed to withstand the rigors of aggressive field use. The design prioritizes ease of field stripping and reassembly, enabling essential cleaning and maintenance without specialized tools, crucial for maintaining peak performance away from a workbench.
