Description
The RETAY USA ACE-R 28GA 28″ Mossy Oak Bottomland is a lightweight, inertia-driven semi-auto shotgun built for the upland fields and dove patches us Southern boys love. Chambered in 28 gauge, it cycles fast and points natural, thanks to a 28-inch vent-rib barrel and a synthetic stock with an adjustable shim kit. Finished in Mossy Oak Bottomland camo, it blends right in with the cut corn and broom sedge.

Key Features
- Inertia Piston System – This gas-free design keeps the action clean and reliable, even through a long afternoon of dove shooting in dusty stubble.
- Mossy Oak Bottomland Camo – The bottomland pattern breaks up your outline against dead grass and winter weeds, so birds don’t flare on your swing.
- Adjustable Shim Kit – You can tweak drop and cast to fit your face and shooting style, making this gun feel like it was stocked just for you.
- MaraPro Choke Set – Comes with three chokes (IC, Mod, Full) so you can dial in the pattern for close-flushing quail or crossing doves at 40 yards.
- Fiber-Optic Front Bead – Picks up light fast and gives you a bright sight picture even in low-light timber edges.
Who It’s For
The ACE-R is built for the bird hunter who wants a light, fast-handling 28 gauge that can go all day without wearing you out. It’s a solid pick for doves over sunflowers, quail behind a pointing dog, or wood ducks in the slough. If you appreciate a traditional field gun with modern reliability, this one belongs in your safe.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Light weight (6.2 lbs), adjustable fit, inertia system stays clean, camo pattern matches Southern fields, MaraPro chokes included.
- Cons: The inertia action can be a little stiff during break-in—expect 100-150 rounds before it smooths out completely.
