The History of FAIR

FAIR, which stands for Fabbrica Armi Isidoro Rizzini, was founded in 1971 in Val Trompia near Brescia by Isidoro Rizzini. The foundation of the company's approach is to combine the expertise of traditional craftsmanship with the latest in advanced technology. Today, FAIR is Italy's second-largest maker of over/under shotguns, after Beretta.

The company specializes in the production of over-and-under and side-by-side sporting and hunting rifles, as well as semiautomatic versions of shotguns. Some of their recognized models include the SAFARI, COMBI, and the K 500 rifle series, the SSX12 semiauto shotgun, the ISIDE side-by-side series, and a vast array of over-and-under competition and hunting shotguns such as LINCOLN GAME, PREMIER, SLX 600 in different variants, SLX 692, JUBILEE, and others.

Nowadays, the FAIR factory is equipped with state-of-the-art CNC machinery, which guarantees the smallest possible tolerances of components and allows for the interchangeability of a great number of parts. However, a lot of handwork goes into the actual assembly of the rifles. Custom stocks are available together with custom engravings and numerous other options to personalize the firearm to one’s personal preferences.

FAIR guns are marketed in the US by the Italian Firearms Group. In Canada, their trap/skeet models, combination guns, and single-shot rifles have been highly sought after since their exclusive importing began in 2007. The factory is currently managed by Luca Rizzini, the son of the founder Isidoro Rizzini.

FAIR Safari Rifle Review

The FAIR Safari is an over-and-under rifle that is a part of FAIR's Express series. It is available in four different configurations and features numerous custom options for users to choose from. All of the configurations are based on 20 ga action bodies.

The barrels on the FAIR Safari rifle are aligned by hand, ensuring the highest possible accuracy. All models are available with the optional pair of interchangeable shotgun barrels, providing added versatility for users. The Safari rifles come with a single trigger, but users can choose between automatic or normal extractors to suit their preferences.

The lever on the top of the action opens the rifle for easy loading and unloading. The safety lever is positioned on the back end of the receiver and is thumb-operated. Safaris are available in various calibers, depending on the variant and come with cutouts on the upper rib, which can be used for scope mounting purposes.

The DE LUXE and PRESTIGE models feature Bavarian-style extra-quality stocks, and the Safari FXW comes with a walnut FX-WOOD stock.
