F.A.I.R. Jubilee Prestige 12 Ga 28″ Shotgun Review

Description

You’ve been shooting for a while now. Maybe you started with a basic pump or a used over-under, and it’s served you well. But you’re at the point where you’re thinking about a real step up—a shotgun that balances performance and presentation without venturing into the stratospheric price tags of custom guns. You want something that feels like an investment, not just an expense. That’s the niche the F.A.I.R. Jubilee Prestige 12 Ga, 28″ Barrel, 5 TC (Xp50) Chokes aims to fill.

The F.A.I.R. Jubilee Prestige 12 Ga, 28″ Barrel, 5 TC (Xp50) Chokes is a premium Italian-made over-under shotgun designed for the serious clay shooter and upland hunter. It offers a high level of fit, finish, and mechanical reliability at a price point that undercuts many competitors, providing a tangible step up from entry-level guns without the luxury brand markup. This isn’t a mass-produced box-store gun; it’s built by Fratelli Armi Isidoro Rizzini, a company with a deep heritage in crafting shotguns. For the shooter who analyzes cost per round and long-term value, this model represents a calculated move toward a lifetime firearm.

Let’s talk about where your money actually goes. The action is built on a durable boxlock design, which is simpler and often more cost-effective to produce than a sidelock while still offering excellent strength and a crisp trigger pull. The 28-inch barrels are a versatile length, ideal for everything from sporting clays to pheasant fields, and they come with a set of five flush-fitting Xp50 chokes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full). This gives you immediate flexibility for any shooting discipline right out of the box—no gunsmithing required to get started. The barrels are also chrome-lined for longevity and easier cleaning, a practical touch that matters after hundreds of shells.

Finishing touches elevate it. You’ll find a select walnut stock with a hand-rubbed oil finish and a classic pistol grip, along with detailed laser engraving on the receiver. It’s a gun that looks the part at the club or in the field. Mechanically, it features an automatic safety and a single selective trigger. Weighing in at approximately 7.5 pounds, it strikes a good balance between stable swing and all-day carry. The overall build quality is tight, with a solid feel when you break it open and snap it shut.

Gauge	12 Gauge (2 3/4″ Chambers)
Barrel Length	28 Inches
Chokes	5 Xp50 Thread (C, IC, M, IM, F)
Action	Over/Under, Boxlock
Trigger	Single Selective
Stock	Select Walnut, Oil Finish

Pros: The value proposition is clear. At $2029.26, it sits in a sweet spot between workhorse guns and high-end status symbols. The included five-choke system is a real cost-saver. The fit and finish are noticeably better than budget-tier over-unders, and the proven boxlock action promises long-term reliability with less maintenance fuss than more complex mechanisms.

Cons: It’s still a significant investment. The 28-inch barrel might feel short for some dedicated trap shooters who prefer 30 or 32 inches. As with many imported guns, aftermarket support for parts like specific recoil pads or specialty stocks may not be as vast as for a brand like Beretta or Browning, though standard accessories often fit.

So who is this for? It’s for the Missouri shooter who has outgrown their first shotgun and wants a tangible upgrade they won’t need to replace. It’s for the hunter who wants one reliable, good-looking gun for ducks, doves, and clays. It’s also a smart choice for the budget-conscious competitor entering local sporting clays or skeet events who needs a dependable tool without financing a car. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the chokes compatible with other brands like Beretta or Browning?

A: No, they are not. The Xp50 choke threads are proprietary to F.A.I.R. shotguns. You must use F.A.I.R. Xp50 chokes or aftermarket chokes specifically marked for this thread pattern.

Q: What is the chamber length?

A: The chambers are standard 2 3/4 inches. It is not chambered for 3-inch magnum shells, which is typical for a gun focused on field and clay sports where high-volume shooting with standard loads is the norm.

Q: Is it suitable for a left-handed shooter?

A: The stock has a standard cast and comb designed for a right-handed shooter. While the safety and top lever are ambidextrous, left-handed shooters may want to handle the gun first to see if the stock geometry works for them, or budget for potential stock adjustment.
