Retay has made a real name for itself building inertia-driven semi-automatic shotguns that run clean and reliably, and the ACE-R is one of the sleeker guns in the lineup. A 28 gauge semi-auto is a genuinely special thing to carry, light enough that you forget it is on your shoulder and gentle enough that a full day on quail or dove leaves your shoulder untouched, yet fully capable on upland birds with the right load. This example pairs a 28-inch barrel with a black finish and wood furniture, and the 3-inch chamber allows for heavier payloads when needed.

Inertia operation means fewer gas-system parts to foul and clean.
