There is a reason upland hunters obsess over weight. When you are covering miles of grouse woods or chasing wild roosters through cattails, every ounce on your shoulder matters. The Retay ACE-R Upland Ultralight in 20 gauge tips the scale at just 5 pounds 11 ounces, which puts it in the same conversation as guns costing quite a bit more. Paired with a 26 inch deep-bore drilled barrel, it swings quick, points naturally, and gets on flushing birds before they clear the treetops.
The heart of this gun is Retay’s Inertia Plus action, a refined take on the classic inertia system that uses a rollover torsion spring to keep the rotating bolt locked into battery until it is supposed to move. That means no bolt bounce, fewer hiccups, and clean cycling whether you are running light field loads or 3 inch magnums. Retay also lengthens the forcing cone at the factory, which smooths out patterns and takes some sting out of recoil. Speaking of recoil, the AIRY pad soaks up a good chunk of what a sub-6-pound 20 gauge would normally hand back to you, so this featherweight stays pleasant to shoot.
The AA-grade satin walnut stock gives it real bird-gun character, and a shim kit lets you tweak the 14.5 inch length of pull setup to fit your build. The oversized safety is reversible for lefties, the trigger group pops out with a push button for easy cleaning after a dusty day afield, and a single fiber optic bead draws your eye right where it belongs. Five flush-fit chokes from Cylinder to Full cover everything from close-flushing woodcock to late-season pheasants at distance.
Retay backs the ACE-R with a limited lifetime warranty, which says plenty about their confidence in the build. If your ideal bird gun is one you barely notice until the moment a bird flushes, this one deserves a hard look.
This 26 inch barrel version comes in at 5 pounds 11 ounces, which is remarkably light for a semi auto 20 gauge with a walnut stock. That kind of weight makes a real difference when you are logging miles behind a bird dog. The AIRY recoil pad helps keep such a light gun comfortable to shoot.
Yes, it ships with five flush-fit chokes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That range covers just about any upland scenario, from tight-cover grouse to longer crossing shots on pheasants. A shim kit for adjusting stock fit is included as well.
Retay’s Inertia Plus system was designed specifically to address the weak points of traditional inertia guns, using a torsion spring to keep the bolt locked until firing. The light overall weight of the gun also works in favor of inertia cycling. Most standard field loads run without issue, though like any inertia gun, extremely light target loads are worth patterning and testing first.
The oversized safety button is reversible, so it can be swapped for left-handed operation. The receiver and controls are otherwise right-hand oriented, but plenty of lefties shoot this configuration comfortably. The push-button removable trigger group also makes cleaning simple for anyone.
