Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this shotgun suitable for a beginner?
A: It can be, if the beginner is committed to clay sports and has the budget. Its design rewards proper form, making it an excellent tool for building good habits, but its specialization might be overkill for a casual first-time buyer.
Q: What ammunition is recommended?
A: Use standard 2 3/4″ or 3″ target loads. For consistent performance in competition, we recommend pairing it with reliable, clean-burning ammunition from brands like Fiocchi, Winchester AA, or Remington STS. The 3″ chamber allows for versatility if needed.
Q: What’s the warranty and service availability?
A: F.A.I.R. shotguns are backed by the importer’s warranty. Service and parts are handled through authorized channels. It’s a robust platform, but as with any precision firearm, having a qualified smith familiar with over-unders is advised for any maintenance beyond basic cleaning.
