Design and Ergonomics

The RETAY USA MASAI MARA is a 20 Gauge 3″ with a 28″ barrel in Dark Black / Walnut that balances low weight and steady handling. Retay’s kinetic drive inertial system gives reliable cycling while keeping the receiver and operating parts simplified for longevity. Ergonomic grip and fore-end contours are intentionally sculpted with comfort lines to position the hand naturally and reduce fatigue during extended sessions. A soft-touch finish across contact surfaces provides a refined feel and helps control the gun in wet or cold conditions.

Tool-less Maintenance Features

This model introduces a removable trigger system milled from block aluminum, allowing quick assembly and disassembly without tools. The removable ejector further simplifies field stripping and cleaning—valuable for shooters who maintain gear themselves. The Masai Mara ships with a hard black case, gun oil, chokes and wrench, snap cap, drop and shim kit, swivels, and documents to get you ready for the range.

Barrel, Chokes, and On-Target Performance

The Masai Mara comes standard with a precision-drilled Marabored barrel and a set of five interchangeable Marapro chokes. These high-tech 7 cm chokes are designed to improve pattern density while optimizing barrel weight, making them effective for sporting clays, upland game, and defensive scenarios where a compact, fast-handling shotgun is preferred. The 28″ barrel balances initial velocity and patterning for mid-range targets while the 20 gauge offers reduced recoil for quicker follow-ups.

Applications and Value

At a listed price of $900.99, this semi-auto offers advanced mechanical features and a full accessory package that make it competitive for both new shooters seeking manageable recoil and experienced shooters who value fast maintenance and modularity. The Retay USA brand has built a reputation for combining traditional aesthetics with modern mechanics, and the Masai Mara is a clear example.

For shooters who want a semi-auto with thoughtful ergonomics, easy maintenance, and effective choke options, the RETAY USA MASAI MARA is worth testing at your next range visit. Check current availability and accessory bundles on the product page.
