The Retay ACE Sporting 12 Gauge (brand part no. ACES-30) is a 3-inch-chamber inertia semi-auto with a 30-inch barrel, built for clay targets and the sporting field. It has a raised rib, a white front bead with a mid bead, and a weighted magazine cap that settles the swing. The receiver is aluminum, the recoil pad is Retay’s AIRY design, and the trigger group comes out with a push of a button for cleaning. Retay USA lists extended chokes in C, IC, M, IM and F, plus a skeet choke with red accents, so you can set it up for trap, skeet or sporting clays. The 30-inch barrel is the longer of the two ACE Sporting lengths.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12 with a 3-inch chamber, so it handles both 2-3/4 and 3-inch shells.
• Barrel length is 30 inches, long enough for a smooth, steady swing on clay targets.
• Magazine capacity is 3+1, a standard count for field and clay use.
• The action is inertia driven with Retay’s Inertia Plus rotating bolt.
• Sights are a white front bead and a mid bead, a classic pairing for pointing the gun at a target.
• A raised rib gives a flat sight plane down the barrel.
• A weighted magazine cap shifts weight forward for a steadier swing.
• Choke tubes are extended C, IC, M, IM and F, plus a skeet choke with red accents, so patterns can be matched to the game.
• The shotgun weighs 7 to 7 pounds 5 ounces, enough mass to tame recoil on a long round of clays.
• A push-button removable trigger group lets you clean and service the gun quickly.
