Description
The sun is low, the wind is up, and the last station of the day is a true report pair. Your heart rate is steady, your focus is absolute. You mount the gun, and the world narrows to the flight of the clay. This is where a tool becomes an extension of intent. This is the moment for the F.A.I.R. Carrera Pro Sporting 12 Ga, 30″ Barrel, 5 TC (Xp70) Chokes.
What is it? The F.A.I.R. Carrera Pro Sporting is a dedicated competition over-and-under shotgun engineered for the serious clay shooter. It features a 30-inch barrel set for optimal swing dynamics, comes with five interchangeable Xp70 chokes for pattern control, and is built with a robust, reliable action to handle thousands of rounds. At its core, it’s a purpose-built platform for breaking targets with consistency and confidence.
Let’s talk about what makes it work. The action is the heart of any competition gun, and the Carrera Pro’s monobloc construction provides a solid, stable foundation. The 30-inch barrels aren’t just about length—they’re about creating a smooth, unhurried swing plane that helps you maintain lead and follow-through, especially on long crossers and looping battues. The gun comes with five flush-fitting Xp70 chokes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full), giving you the precise constriction needed for any station from close-in skeet to long-range sporting clays. The single selective mechanical trigger is crisp and reliable, a critical feature when you need that split-second break.
Here’s the thing—durability matters when you’re putting 500 shells downrange in a weekend. The Carrera Pro is built for that life. The chrome-lined barrels resist corrosion and fouling, while the electroless nickel finish on the receiver provides a durable, low-glare surface. The walnut stock is hand-checkered for a secure grip, wet or dry. Weighing in at approximately 7.7 pounds, it has enough heft to absorb recoil and promote a fluid motion without feeling sluggish. This balance point makes it a natural fit for shooters accustomed to the handling of other sporting over-unders like the Browning Citori or Beretta 686 series.

Pros & Cons
The Pro Sporting’s 30-inch barrel and balanced weight deliver a smooth, stable swing that forgives minor errors in timing. The inclusion of five chokes means you’re ready for any course layout right out of the box—no gunsmithing required. The mechanical trigger is a standout for its consistency. On the other hand, that same 30-inch barrel can feel long in tight quarters or for shooters with a shorter wingspan. The price point of $1639.26 positions it as a serious investment for dedicated shooters, not a casual purchase.
Who is this for? This shotgun is for the shooter who has moved past entry-level guns and is committed to the discipline of clay sports. It’s for the competitor who understands how barrel length and choke selection affect their score. It’s for the individual who values a reliable mechanical action and a fit-and-finish that can endure season after season of league nights and registered shoots. This platform is ready to perform.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the chokes compatible with other systems like Beretta Mobilchoke or Browning Invector?
A: No. The F.A.I.R. Carrera Pro Sporting uses the proprietary Xp70 choke thread system. You must use Xp70-designated chokes for proper fit and safety. The five included chokes cover the essential constrictions.
Q: What is the chamber length?
A: The chambers are standard 3-inch (76mm), allowing you to shoot everything from light 2¾-inch target loads up to 3-inch magnum shells for specific applications, though target loads will be its primary diet.
Q: Is it suitable for hunting?
A: While it could technically be used for field hunting, the 30-inch barrel length and sporting-specific balance make it less maneuverable in a blind or woods compared to a dedicated 26 or 28-inch field model. Its true home is on the clay course.
