Been looking at some of their game guns and price looks keen for a nicely put together shotgun

Anyone on here have any experience with them? I know Ardee Shooting is the new owner however very few owner reports online.

There is a used on locally that isn't too heavy for a O/U (I am a SXS shooter) and fits me rather well.

an original or a "new" one built in Italy?

If the latter, they are not a bad gun, and steel proof afaik

Its a used gun but new enough so presume an Italian gun

FAIR are a pretty reputable brand, they make "Italian" shotguns for a number of companies in Europe and US. I think Paddy Carley is a dealer for them here in Ireland.

The current FAIR catalogue I have lists all their guns as "steel proof" as far as I can see.

The "R" bit of "FAIR" stands for Rizzini, a brand familiar enough to some of us.

Ardee Sports are also the importer for Rizzini.
