Winchester SX4 The full-camo SX4 Waterfowl Hunter (shown) goes for $1,070. Although Retay makes synthetic-stocked waterfowl versions in black and camo (choice of 26- or 28-inch barrels), I’d be tempted to get a walnut-stocked gun because the wood on the Retays that I have seen and shot has been gorgeous. In all, these seem like well-made, well-thought-out guns. The trigger group drops out with the push of a button, too. Retay has its own take on the click-proof bolt that does away with the dreaded “inertia click” misfire. Built in a very modern, high-tech factory in Turkey, they are well fit and finished. The newest name in inertia guns, Retay is quickly gaining a following, especially among Southern waterfowlers.
Retay Masai Mara Waterfowl The Masai Mara Waterfowl starts at $1099.
The guns feature enlarged bolt handles and releases, and Franchi’s unique and very soft TSA recoil pad. The Affinity Elite inertia semiauto comes in a 6-pound, 20-gauge model with a 26-inch barrel and a choice of Optifade Marsh and tan Certakote or Timber/gray. Positioned as Benelli’s mid-price brand, Franchi has become a favorite of a lot of hunters. Franchi Affinity Elite The Affinity Elite in 20-gauge goes for $1,249. The 20′s drawback is that the smaller hull can’t hold enough big, letter-size pellets, so you are limited to 1s and 2s at the largest.Ģ. If you like speed, you can sacrifice 1/8 ounce of pellets for 200 fps more velocity. A 3-inch hull sends an ounce of shot at around 1350 fps which, in my opinion, is fast enough. There’s nothing wrong with regular steel 20-gauge loads, either. 9 tungsten-iron shot to give you more oomph at longer ranges. Or, you can shoot just a sprinkling of TSS mixed with steel in Federal’s Black Cloud TSS, which combines both No. If you want to splurge on Apex TSS waterfowl loads, a 20 will kill birds as far away as you can shoot them. 3 shot with good success on ducks and geese) and tungsten-iron HeviShot and HeviX let you shoot a 20 with confidence out to 35 yards and more. Bismuth shells from a number of makers (I have been shooting Federal and Rio No. The 20′s limitations aren’t, well, very limiting if you take advantage of some of the newest ammunition.
