Description
If you’re a bird hunter who appreciates a fine 20 gauge that shoulders fast and swings true, this RETAY ACE 20 Gauge 26″ Mossy Oak Bottomland is a field companion worth your consideration. It’s a full-size semi-auto built on an inertia action that cycles everything from target loads to 3″ magnums without complaint. The 26-inch vent-rib barrel keeps the weight forward for smooth follow-through, and the Mossy Oak Bottomland camo pattern blends right in with a September dove field or a November duck blind. At a shade over six pounds, it won’t tire you out after a long morning walk behind a bird dog.

Key Features
- Inertia Piston System — Why it matters: This action is proven reliable across a wide range of shell lengths and pressures, from light target loads to heavy 3″ waterfowl loads. It also stays cleaner than gas systems, so you can hunt all season without a breakdown.
- Mossy Oak Bottomland Camo — Why it matters: This pattern is a classic for a reason—it breaks up the gun’s outline in early-season fields and late-season timber alike. It’s not just for looks; it’s functional concealment.
- Adjustable Shim System — Why it matters: You can dial in the length of pull to match your build and coat thickness. It makes the Ace feel custom-fitted without a trip to the gunsmith.
- Ambidextrous Controls — Why it matters: The safety and bolt release are set up for both right- and left-handed shooters, so a lefty friend can grab it and shoot without fumbling.
- Air Cushion Recoil Pad — Why it matters: A 20 gauge already kicks less than a 12, but this pad soaks up the extra punch from heavy magnum loads, keeping you comfortable on a long day of shooting.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for the Southern bird hunter who spends more time in the field than at the range. It shines for dove shoots over sunflowers, quail walks behind a pointing dog, and early-season teal hunts where a light, fast-handling gun makes the difference. It’s also a fine choice for the shooter who wants a 20 gauge that handles like a 12 but carries like a .410.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Light weight (6.2 lbs), reliable inertia action, versatile choke system, adjustable stock, ambidextrous controls, classic camo pattern.
Cons: The inertia system can be a little picky with extra-light target loads (under 1 oz) until it’s broken in. Per Retay specs, a few boxes of heavy field loads will smooth out the cycling.
