Retay Ace And Gordion Realtree Legacy

Retay has partnered with Realtree to feature the company's Legacy camouflage pattern across its flagship Ace and Gordion shotgun lines for 2026.

The Retay Ace (Air Control Extreme), launched as the next evolution of the Inertia Plus system, will now be available in Legacy across all configurations. This includes both the standard receiver and the Ace Type-R "humpback" design. The Ace line features deep-bore drilled barrels, factory-lengthened forcing cones, and the "Airy" recoil pad system that reduces felt recoil by up to 30 percent. The Ace Legacy will be available in 12-gauge, 20-gauge and 28-gauge.

The Gordion line also receives the Legacy treatment to provide waterfowl and turkey hunters with a timeless look. It comes with a one-piece alloy trigger group and receiver, "Easy Out" magazine unloading, and the patented Inertia Plus bolt that eliminates the "inertia click." The Gordion Legacy will be available in 12-gauge and 20-gauge.

"As we move into 2026, we wanted to offer a finish with a heritage pattern that is timeless on our guns. The addition of Realtree Legacy to our Ace and Gordion lines is a nod to the hunters who value both tradition and technology," said Michael Narus, VP of Sales and Marketing for Retay.

The Retay Ace and Gordion in Realtree Legacy will be available at authorized Retay dealers nationwide beginning in Spring 2026. For more information, visit retayusa.com.
