Description
Single shots have a reputation as bare-bones starter guns, and Retay clearly set out to change that. The Gamelander is a 3 inch chambered 20 gauge break action that gets the same barrel treatment as Retay's semi-autos: a Deep Bore drilled barrel paired with a factory-lengthened forcing cone. Retay's testing shows that combination puts noticeably more pellets in the kill zone with better shot-to-shot consistency, which matters a lot when you only get one trigger pull on a gobbler.
What Sets the Gamelander Apart
The 22 inch barrel keeps the whole package at 38 inches overall and around 6.7 pounds, so it swings through timber and rides in a vest sling without wearing you out. The break action opens clean and crisp, the trigger is smooth, and a push-button take-down lets you pull it apart quickly for a pack or a truck case. Up top you get a brass bead front sight plus an included low profile Picatinny rail, so running a red dot is about as easy as it gets. The adjustable cheek piece lets you dial in your eye alignment whether you're shooting the bead or glass, and the AIRY recoil pad uses an internal air pocket design to take real sting out of heavy turkey loads.
Chokes and Camo Built for the Turkey Woods
This version wears Mossy Oak Original Bottomland, the classic dirt-and-bark pattern that turkey hunters have trusted for decades. In the box you'll find three removable choke tubes: Cylinder, Modified, and Retay's .565 extra full extended Waddle Drop turkey choke, so you can go from open patterns to serious long-beard medicine. The tubes use Crio Plus threading, which opens up a wide world of aftermarket options.
Retay backs the Gamelander with a limited lifetime warranty, and it shows in how the gun is put together. Simple platform, premium execution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a red dot on the Retay Gamelander 20 gauge?
Yes. The 20 gauge Gamelander ships with a low profile Picatinny rail, so a compact red dot mounts right up. The adjustable cheek piece is a big help here too, letting you raise your comb for a proper cheek weld behind an optic instead of floating your head over the stock.
What choke tubes does the Gamelander use?
It uses Crio Plus style threading, the same pattern found on Benelli Crio Plus barrels, so aftermarket options are plentiful. From the factory you get three tubes: Cylinder, Modified, and Retay's .565 extra full extended Waddle Drop turkey choke, which is the one you'll want screwed in come spring.
Is the Gamelander a good fit for smaller or newer hunters?
It's a strong choice. The break action is simple to operate and easy to verify safe, and the AIRY recoil pad with its air pocket design softens the punch of 3 inch turkey loads noticeably. At around 6.7 pounds with a 14.37 inch length of pull, it fits most adult and older youth frames comfortably.
Does the Retay Gamelander break down for transport?
Yes, it features a push-button quick take-down system that separates the gun quickly without tools. That makes it easy to stash in a backpack or compact case for backcountry hunts or long walks into the timber. Reassembly is just as fast when you get to your setup.
