There's a reason walnut and blued steel never go out of style, and the Retay ACE wears that classic look over some seriously modern engineering. This is the 12 gauge model with a 28 inch barrel and a 3.5 inch chamber, which means it will happily run light target loads at the club on Saturday and heavy magnum waterfowl loads in the blind on Sunday. At 7 pounds 4 ounces it carries well in the field but still has enough weight up front to swing smooth on crossing birds.
The heart of this gun is Retay's Inertia Plus bolt system. Standard inertia guns have a known quirk where a bump against the blind or boat gunwale can knock the bolt out of battery, costing you a shot when it matters most. Retay solved that with a patented rollover torsion spring that forces the bolt head into full lockup and keeps it there. The 28 inch barrel is deep bore drilled dead straight and gets a factory lengthened forcing cone, which tightens patterns and puts noticeably more pellets where you're looking. Up top you get a single fiber optic bead, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped if you ever want to mount an optic for turkey season.
The AIRY recoil pad soaks up as much as 30 percent of felt recoil, which you'll appreciate after a long dove field afternoon or a box of 3.5 inch steel. The push button removable trigger group drops the whole fire control out in seconds for cleaning, even in the field, and storing it separately doubles as a simple safety measure at home. The oversized safety is reversible for lefties, the shim kit lets you dial in drop and cast to fit your build, and length of pull sits at a comfortable 14.5 inches.
With a 3+1 capacity, standard choke threading for broad aftermarket support, and Retay's limited lifetime warranty behind it, the ACE Walnut is the kind of gun you buy once and hunt with for decades. Good looks, soft shooting, and an action built to run. Hard to ask for more in a field semi auto.
The ACE uses Retay's Straight Line Inertial Transfer System, which is designed to cycle everything from light clay loads up to heavy 3.5 inch magnums. Like most inertia guns, it appreciates a short break-in period, so run a few boxes of standard field loads through it first. After that, it should digest a wide range of ammo without fuss.
Traditional inertia actions can be bumped out of battery if the gun gets knocked against a blind or boat, which can cause a click instead of a bang. Retay's patented Inertia Plus bolt uses an internal rollover torsion spring that actively rotates the bolt head into full lockup and holds it there. It removes one of the most common complaints about inertia-driven shotguns.
Yes. The 12 gauge ACE has a steel receiver that comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so adding a rail and a red dot is straightforward. The included fiber optic bead works great for wingshooting, and the optic-ready receiver gives you flexibility come turkey season.
It is more accommodating than most. The oversized safety button is reversible, so it can be switched from right to left hand operation without gunsmith work. The stock geometry is also adjustable with the included shim kit, letting you fine tune drop and cast for a proper fit on either shoulder.
