Weighing in at approximately 6.8 pounds, the Jubilee achieves a near-perfect balance between heft for a steady swing and lightness for all-day carry in the dove field or pheasant cover. The 16-gauge chambering offers a compelling middle ground—delivering effective patterns with less recoil than a 12-gauge and more payload than a 20-gauge. This shotgun is drop-in ready for Briley or other aftermarket choke systems, allowing for easy customization without gunsmithing. Available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for the hunter who appreciates tradition but demands performance. It’s for the upland shooter pursuing quail over a pointing dog, where its quick handling is a virtue. It’s equally at home on the sporting clays range, where the variety of chokes lets you tailor your pattern for every station. If you value a refined, balanced firearm that performs across multiple disciplines, the Jubilee is a serious contender. The price point of $1839.88 reflects its position as a high-quality, production-grade competition and hunting tool.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional build quality and finish typical of Italian shotguns. The 16-gauge provides a sweet spot of ballistic performance. The included six-choke system offers immediate versatility for any target. The 28-inch barrel length is a classic, versatile choice for both field and clays. Automatic ejectors speed up reloads during a hot streak on the range.
Cons: 16-gauge ammunition, while available, is not as ubiquitous as 12 or 20-gauge, requiring more planning for supply. The classic styling may not appeal to shooters seeking a purely tactical or modern aesthetic. Here’s the thing—it’s an investment for a specific type of shooter who will leverage its full capabilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 16-gauge suitable for waterfowl hunting?
A: With the appropriate non-toxic shot and the included Full or Extra Full Xp50 chokes, it can be effective for waterfowl within its range. Always check local regulations regarding gauge restrictions and ensure you use approved non-toxic ammunition.
Q: What is the length of pull on this model?
A: The F.A.I.R. Jubilee typically features a standard length of pull around 14.5 inches, but it’s always best to handle the firearm to confirm fit. The well-contoured walnut stock provides a consistent mount point for most adult shooters.
Q: Are the chokes compatible with other systems?
A: The Xp50 choke system is proprietary to F.A.I.R. shotguns. However, the threads are designed to accept aftermarket chokes from major manufacturers like Briley, so you have options for specialized tubes—such as extended or ported chokes—down the line without modification.
When it comes to selecting a shotgun that bridges hunting and sport shooting with elegance, the F.A.I.R. Jubilee 16-gauge presents a compelling case.
