Description
There are over-unders you buy to shoot, and there are over-unders you buy to admire. The Jubilee Venice from F.A.I.R. manages to be both. Built in Marcheno, Italy by Fabbrica Armi Isidoro Rizzini and brought stateside by Italian Firearms Group, this is the newest addition to the Jubilee family, a line that has quietly built a reputation for delivering genuine Italian gun-room looks with mechanics you can trust season after season.
The Woodwork Sets the Venice Apart
The stock is where this gun grabs your attention first. F.A.I.R. fits the Venice with C+ grade walnut wearing fine-pitch checkering and a luxury oil finish, shaped into a classic Prince of Wales grip and capped with a traditional wood butt pad. The side plates carry deep engraving that shows off the kind of detail work Italian gunsmiths are known for, and the gold single selective trigger ties the whole look together. It is the sort of gun that draws a small crowd when you pull it out of the case at the club.
A 20 Gauge That Handles Like a 20 Gauge
Here is a detail worth knowing: F.A.I.R. builds the Jubilee line on separate action bodies scaled to each gauge, so this 20 sits on a frame proportioned for the cartridge rather than a cut-down 12. That means trim lines, lively balance, and the easy carry that makes a small-bore over-under such a pleasure on long walks after birds. The reinforced receiver and automatic ejectors keep it running smoothly through high-volume days too.
Chokes for Whatever the Jubilee Venice Faces
The 28 inch barrels come threaded for the Technichoke XP50 system, and five tubes ride along: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. Screw in the open tubes for close-flushing grouse or skeet, tighten up for late-season pheasants or longer sporting clays presentations. One gun, a full spread of patterns, and looks that never go out of style. Small-bore doubles with this level of finish do not sit on the rack long.

Frequently Asked Questions
What choke tubes come with the F.A.I.R. Jubilee Venice?
The Venice ships with five interchangeable tubes from F.A.I.R.'s Technichoke XP50 system: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That spread covers everything from close skeet targets to longer passing shots on birds. It gives you a lot of flexibility from one set of barrels without buying extra tubes right away.
Is the 20 gauge Jubilee Venice built on a true 20 gauge frame?
Yes. F.A.I.R. builds the Jubilee line on separate action bodies sized to each gauge rather than putting small-bore barrels on a 12 gauge receiver. The result is a slimmer, better balanced gun that carries and swings the way a 20 gauge should.
Is the Jubilee Venice better suited for hunting or clays?
It genuinely does both well. The 28 inch barrels and five included chokes let you set it up open for upland flushes or tighter for sporting clays and longer presentations. Automatic ejectors and the single selective trigger keep it quick to run on a busy course or a fast-moving covey.
Who makes the Jubilee Venice and where is it made?
The Venice is made by F.A.I.R., short for Fabbrica Armi Isidoro Rizzini, a family-run gunmaker in Marcheno in Italy's Brescia region. Italian Firearms Group handles importing and support for the brand here in the States. F.A.I.R. has been building double guns for decades and the Jubilee series is one of its signature luxury lines.
