Don't have one but the Retay shotguns in general get excellent reviews on www.shotgunworld.com, give them a look there.

They really do. Definitely worth a look. SW is a great site for all things shotgun as well. Warning though, it can be addicting!

I've heard the hype about them and stopped by their booth this year at the convention. It's quality you can feel. When/if I ever upgrade that will be the direction I go, especially for a waterfowl gun.

Coming out with a 20ga in a few weeks according to the rep I spoke with.

Does anyone know the weight of the 20 gauge . I cant find much info on the 20 . They are not real fast responding  to messages either .

Ive been eyeing those as well. A good buddy of mine knows the VP of Retay through duck hunting. He said they are really good guns, but not on the same level as Benelli or Beretta. Only issue they had was the chokes seizing at times if not kept greased, but duck hunting can be a pretty harsh environment.

like my Beretta no reason to change

 They returned my call today . 20 gauge is 6 1/4 pound . The 20 turkey model will be next year . The regular 20 will ship this year . There is a small town limited edition 12 turkey model that will be shipping in a week or two .

JMHO, but grease should be SOP for screw in choke tubes.

I shoot Retay guns in waterfowl season as well as turkey. I have a Masai Mara Turkey XT for the former and used it for all of last season in Fl as well as PA. It's a solid gun that's right up with any Benelli or Beretta. I replaced the rail and went with fiber optic sights on mine. Comprehensive photos from patterning on to each bird killed with it can be found on my Instagram page. If you'd like to view them feel free to inbox me here for the link to it. I'll be glad to answer any questions you have

Randy Wakemann Outdoors has a superb video tour on the Retay factory, very high tech operation!

Looking forward to see how it works out for you .

I use some old Redhead breech plug anti-seize on my choke tubes.  Its made like a chap stic tube.  Going on 20 yrs with no problem getting chokes in or out.
