Retay USA

Retay USA represents Retay Arms of Konya, Turkey, a manufacturer focused on inertia driven semi automatic shotguns built for serious hunters and clay target shooters. Retay was founded in 2006 with a goal of raising the bar in the Turkish firearms industry, and Retay USA was created in 2017 to support the North American market with dedicated sales, logistics, and service. Flagship Masai Mara and Gordion models, along with the ACE and ACE Type R series, pair Retay’s patented Inertia Plus bolt system with deep bore drilled barrels and factory lengthened forcing cones that have earned strong reviews from independent testers and hunting media.

Field Proven Reliability

Retay shotguns are designed around the Inertia Plus action, a rotating bolt system that uses an internal torsion spring to force the bolt head fully into battery and eliminate out of battery misfires that can plague traditional inertia designs. Hunters gain a rattle free bolt that can be closed quietly in the blind, while maintaining full lockup even if the gun is bumped or dropped. Combined with a reputation for consistent cycling in harsh waterfowl and upland conditions, Retay’s system focuses on keeping the gun ready every time the trigger is pressed.

Straightforward Performance And Value

Retay positions its shotguns as high performance inertia guns at price points that appeal to working hunters and volume clay shooters. Independent pattern testing has shown Retay deep bore drilled barrels putting significantly more pellets in the vital zone with lower shot to shot variation than many big name competitors, which adds practical value without relying on aftermarket barrel work. Features that often cost extra on other platforms, such as long forcing cones, quality chokes, shim kits, and hard cases on premium models, are included from the factory on many Retay configurations.

Balanced Handling And Recoil Control

Retay designs guns around real field carry and target presentations. Masai Mara and Gordion models are praised for natural shouldering, solid alignment from stock to rib, and shim systems that let shooters fine tune drop and cast for their build. Factory lengthened forcing cones work with the deep bore drilled barrels to reduce pellet deformation and soften felt recoil, helping shooters stay on target through long days in the marsh or on the sporting course.

Product Focus

Inertia Plus System And Barrel Design

A core Retay advantage is the pairing of the Inertia Plus bolt with deep bore drilled barrels and out of the box lengthened forcing cones. The barrels are drilled from solid steel rather than hammer forged, a process normally seen on high end clay guns, which helps maintain straight bores and even wall thickness. The factory forcing cone transitions shot smoothly into the bore, improving pattern density and consistency while reducing back pressure and recoil impulse into the inertia system. For hunters and clay shooters, this combination aims to keep patterns centered and dense on target with less need for aftermarket barrel tuning.

Shotguns

Retay’s shotgun catalog in the United States centers on inertia driven semi automatic shotguns. Masai Mara shotguns serve as the flagship line with 12 and 20 gauge offerings, multiple Cerakote, walnut, synthetic, and turkey specific configurations, and a two second tool free trigger group removal system that simplifies cleaning in camp or at home. Gordion models provide a more budget friendly entry into the Retay system while keeping the Inertia Plus action, deep bore barrels, and solid fit and finish that reviewers highlight as punching above their price. ACE and ACE Type R shotguns expand Retay’s offering with feature rich waterfowl focused designs that incorporate an advanced evolution of the Inertia Plus system and enhanced receiver geometry for fast handling in the blind. Additional lines such as GPS, Antalya, and Gamelander give upland, slug, and multipurpose shooters options built on the same core technology.
