FAIR Isides have treated me very well. They don’t have the level of finish as the B Rizzinis, but I think they are just as reliable and shoot just as well. (have had both) I’ve shot the daylights out of my 16 for 5 years and it’s never had a problem, nor have a handful of others owned by friends. My Basic grade 16 is well broken-in it opens and closes smoothly, it has that liquid vault feel that I appreciate every time I use it.They are trigger plate action with no external screws to bugger. I’ve also got a 28ga in a higher grade and it’s be a remarkably easy shooter for a 5lb 8oz gun. I did order the optional 30” barrels for both and I enjoy them at the 5-stand and super-sporting course nearby. My 16 gauge came in at just under 6lb. 3oz. I also ordered a long trigger tang for both which was reasonably priced at $120. They shoot great.

Being one who can never leave well enough alone I had Mark Larson slim the wrist into more of an oval and change the checkering on my 16. He also enhanced the grain, but it didn’t really need it and I’d skip that part if I had to do it again. Marks work is great, but my factory wood wasn’t bad at all. I added a sling with the supplied hardware and the gun is my jack of all trades whether in the bottoms shooting wood ducks, upland out on the prairie or shooting clays. Shot an 89/100 at SS with the 16, and I’ve hit the low 80’s with the 28. If you can handle a swamped rib they will perform.
