The Retay ACE 28 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun in Bronze Mossy Oak Bottomland pairs a 28-inch barrel with Retay’s inertia-driven action (Retay part no. C-ACEBRBL-28). At 5 pounds 5 ounces it is the lightest of the three ACE gauges, which makes it easy to carry all day and quick to mount on flushing birds. It is the same Turkish-built ACE platform offered in 12 and 20 gauge, scaled to the smallest gauge in the family. The Bronze Mossy Oak Bottomland finish suits timber and bottomland hunting, and the fiber optic bead helps the eye find the front sight quickly. Retay USA builds the ACE for upland hunters and clay shooters who want a soft-shooting small-gauge semi-auto.
