The Retay ACE-R Paloma 12 gauge 28-inch shotgun (Retay USA part no. RACEPAL-28) is a semi-automatic 12 gauge in a polished black finish. Retay USA sets the ACE-R up for dove and bird shooting with a 28-inch deep-bore drilled barrel and a 3-inch chamber. Retay lists extended black choke tubes for it, and the magazine holds three shells plus one in the chamber. Retay lists the overall length at 40 inches and the weight at 6 lb 5 oz. The receiver is not drilled and tapped. The Paloma finish keeps it a dressier gun than the camouflage ACE-R models.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12 gauge, the largest of the three bores offered in this family.

• Capacity is 3+1, meaning three shells in the magazine plus one in the chamber.
• The finish is Polished Black, a dressier gloss finish for the dove field.
