The Retay Ace-R delivers reliable semi-automatic performance in 20 gauge with a 26-inch barrel optimized for waterfowl and upland game hunting. This Turkish-manufactured shotgun combines proven gas-operated cycling with Mossy Oak Bottomland camouflage for effective field concealment.
What Makes This Different
The Ace-R features Retay's refined gas system that cycles a wide range of 20-gauge loads from 2¾" to 3" magnums without adjustment. Unlike basic semi-autos that struggle with light target loads, this system maintains consistent ejection and feeding across the full spectrum of ammunition weights. The 26-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for waterfowl loads while maintaining swing characteristics suitable for upland birds.

Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling with loads ranging from 7/8-ounce target shells to 1¼-ounce magnum waterfowl loads. The 26-inch barrel length delivers sufficient velocity for effective patterns at extended ranges while remaining maneuverable in dense cover. Weather-resistant finishes protect against moisture and field conditions encountered during extended hunting seasons.
