I see some guys getting some great patterns out of Retay shotguns, 20 ga in particular. I thought I would check them out, couldn’t believe the price! $1,000 for a auto shotgun that I’ve never heard of? Why are they so expensive? Anyone here shooting one? Robinhedd

Retay are well made Turkish I think with an American designed gun. There’s a lot of features that are somewhat custom.

Inertia based like Benelli and franchi and brownelli
I’ve seen some very impressive patterns from 20 gauge

You’ve never heard of a Retay?

And when was the last time you priced autoloaders?

My favorite gun. I love the 22” barrel, both of mine shoot awesome with the factory full choke and Apex #9. Don’t know if they have left, but Mike”s Outdoor here in Pensacola has them on sale for $999.00. That’s a hellava great deal. I’ve never seen them that cheap before

Maybe the inertia system but they cured the Benelli click but so did Benelli.

Benelli have a skinny bore, browning is back bored and retay is even more so back bored. I’d thought they were tri-bored though plus have the lengthened forcing cone. Relievers pressure and smooths out patterns.

Sold mine. Didn’t like the safety button being so small. Made me nervous wearing gloves in the duck blind. Liked it other than that.

If you havent heard of retay shotguns, you've had your head stuck in a hole for the last 5 or 6 yrs. They've been around since 2006 but really took off popularity wise around 2015.

Palmetto had them Masai Mara (top of the Retay Line) on sale for a couple weeks at $699 last year.
