The Retay Ace 12 Gauge Shotgun in Realtree Legacy camo is a 28-inch inertia-driven semi-auto with a 3.5-inch chamber (Retay part no. ACELEG-28). Retay USA builds it around its Inertia Plus rotating bolt and a Dead Straight Deep-Bore drilled barrel with a factory-lengthened forcing cone. The new AIRY recoil pad is the headline upgrade, and Retay says it reduces felt recoil by up to 30 percent. A push-button trigger group lifts out for cleaning in the field, and a single fiber optic bead makes for fast target acquisition. The Realtree Legacy camo pattern is aimed at hunters working in the field.
