A 28-gauge semi-automatic is a specialist's gun and a delight to shoot — light enough to carry all day behind a dog, with recoil so mild that most shooters find they simply shoot better with it than with a 12. Retay builds the ACE with the fit and finish that has earned the Turkish maker a following among upland hunters who want European-feeling quality and handling.

This one has a 26-inch barrel chambered for 3-inch shells in a Legacy camouflage finish. For quail, dove, woodcock and grouse, the combination of a 28-gauge payload and a fast-handling 26-inch barrel is close to ideal.
