Clay games reward a gun that swings smooth, cycles every time, and does not beat you up over a 100-target afternoon. That is exactly the lane the Retay ACE-R Sport lives in. This is the sporting version of Retay's humpback ACE-R, dressed up with a satin walnut stock, jet black metalwork, red accents, and a weighted mag cap that settles the swing on crossers. The 28 inch barrel is ported to tame muzzle jump, and it carries a white front bead with a mid bead so you can check your eye alignment before calling for the bird.
Under the hood is Retay's Inertia Plus system, a rotating bolt design with a torsion spring that keeps the bolt locked up properly even if it gets bumped out of battery, one of the classic gripes with older inertia guns. Fewer parts and no gas system means less fouling and quicker cleanup after a heavy dose of target loads. Retay's deep-bore drilled barrel and factory lengthened forcing cone are the other half of the story, tightening patterns and smoothing out shot-to-shot consistency, which you will notice on the pattern board and the scoreboard. The oversized safety button can be reversed for left-handed use, and the AIRY recoil pad uses an air pocket design that cuts felt recoil by up to 30 percent.
At 7 pounds with a 3 inch chamber and 3+1 capacity, this 12 gauge has enough weight to stay steady on the clays course without feeling like a chore in the dove field. It ships with six extended choke tubes, Skeet through Full, so you are covered from close incomers to long crossing pairs right out of the box. Retay backs it with a limited lifetime warranty, which says plenty about how they feel about their build quality.
It ships with six extended chokes: Skeet, Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full, all with red accents to match the gun. Retay uses its MaraPro thread pattern, which looks like a Benelli Crio Plus but is not a guaranteed match, so stick with Retay-pattern chokes. Companies like Trulock make aftermarket tubes specifically for Retay if you want more options.
Yes, that is one of the strong suits of Retay's Inertia Plus action. Testing on the ACE line has shown reliable cycling down to standard 1 ounce target loads, which covers the vast majority of what you would shoot at skeet, trap, or sporting clays. Like any inertia gun, give it a short break-in with slightly stouter loads and it only gets smoother.
They share the same action, barrel technology, and sporting trim. The main difference is the receiver profile: the ACE-R wears Retay's humpback-style receiver, which gives you a longer sighting plane and a classic look, while the standard ACE has a more conventional rounded receiver. Which one is right comes down to how the gun mounts and points for you.
It is noticeably softer than you would expect. The AIRY recoil pad uses an internal air pocket design that Retay rates at up to 30 percent less felt recoil, and the ported barrel helps keep the muzzle flat. At 7 pounds, the gun has enough heft to soak up recoil too, so long clays sessions and heavier field loads both stay comfortable.
