Retay ACE-R Gamekeeper 12 Gauge 28 in Overview
Retay builds its shotguns in Turkey and backs them with a limited lifetime warranty. The ACE-R runs on Retay’s Inertia Plus system with a rotating bolt for full lock up and no bolt rattle, so it stays clean and cycles without gas ports. The R model adds the AIRY recoil pad, which Retay says cuts felt recoil by up to 30 percent.
Dead Straight Barrel and Forcing Cone
The 28 inch barrel is deep bore drilled from solid stock rather than formed around a mandrel, which Retay says makes it straighter and stronger. A factory lengthened forcing cone eases the shot column into the bore for fewer deformed pellets and, by Retay’s numbers, about 20 percent more pellets on target. A single fiber optic bead sits up front.
Chokes
The gun ships with Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full and Waterfowl Full extended long range tubes, so you can go from close shots over a field to longer passing shots without changing guns. Extended tubes are easy to swap by hand and protect the muzzle threads.
Inertia Plus Action
The rotating bolt locks fully into the barrel extension, and the bolt rollover torsion spring keeps it from bouncing back out of battery. Inertia guns like loads with real recoil, so very light target loads may not cycle reliably until the gun is broken in.
Easy Out Unloading and Controls
With the Easy Out system you can empty the magazine without cycling every shell through the chamber, a real convenience at the truck or the blind. The push button trigger group drops out for cleaning, and the oversized safety can be reversed for left handed shooters.
Stock and Receiver
The ACE-R uses an all aluminum receiver with no plastic parts in the action housing and the standard ACE stock. A shim kit adjusts drop and cast, and length of pull is 14.5 inches. The receiver is drilled and tapped for an optic mount.
The 12 gauge
The 12 gauge handles everything from light target loads to heavy 3 1/2 inch waterfowl and turkey loads, which makes it the most versatile choice.
Where It Fits
This ACE-R suits dove fields, waterfowl blinds and upland walks, and the camo finish keeps it hidden when birds are working.
