F.A.I.R rifles feedback

[kukusya]

Hello,
I’m hoping to find some answers here about quality FAIR rifles. Not much information available on forums. Price is reasonable for blue collar worker, but I don’t want waste money if isn’t worth it.

Thanks in advance!

I have a Safari Prestige in 9.3x74r. What do you need to know?

I have a Safari Prestige in 9.3x74r. What do you need to know?

Exactly model I’m looking at.
Is it reliable ejectors?
Single trigger mechanism inertia or mechanical?
Real life accuracy?

Thanks

Ejectors have worked flawlessly, must be inertia triggers as only a single shot can be fired when dry firing. Factory target is 1” at 50m, but I cannot get Geco 50LF 16.5g (255 grains) ammo. I have at least three decent hand loads, two lead free 250 grains, one 286 lead, all of which will do no worse than 2.5” at 50 yards for four shot tests. Individual barrel accuracy seems very good. I’m not wild about the rear sight, but that’s my only real complaint. The mechanical is virtually identical to a Fausti 30/06 that I also own. Lots more to unpack, and I’ll gladly go into detail over the phone if you are serious about taking the plunge.

Thanks for the detailed feedback.
I don’t like inertia trigger, but I can tolerate it. Don’t really care about rear sight because with my eyes optic preferred.
I really need to think over before taking plunge.

Thanks
