the Fabulous Fabarm N2 RS Sporting

A look at Fabarm's superb 2023 Elos N2 RS clay-smashing machine. The text review: www.chuckhawks... .

[@leeturner3143]

I received the 32" model about a month ago in mid July. Closing in on 1,000 rounds already. Stellar performance. It is everything you say in the video. The triggers are fantastic, high quality throughout, beautiful wood, stock geometry is spot on for me. Weight and balance is ideal. Very soft shooting. I went 50 for 50 for the first time with it in summer sporting clays league last week. Phenomenal effort by Fabarm. The RS is a winner. Thanks very much for your review.

[@RandyWakeman]

It is a very big winner from Fabarm USA-- their best clays gun, ever.

I picked up a 30'' n2 rs after watching your review. It feels great on the sporting clays course. Thanks Randy

[@RandyWakeman]

Good for you! It should give you many, many, many years of service.

[@Jsno203]

Waiting on one right now. ✅️

[@leeturner3143]

Just returned from an afternoon of sporting clays with this new RS. I agree with your comments. WOW. Been saving my pennies for a Blaser F16 but this RS has me seriously rethinking that plan. The F16 has crisper triggers and is a bit more sleek, but not by much. Shot them side by side today, back and forth. Both are a delight shoot and handle. Both are what I'd call athletic in how they swing and handle. As much as I like that F16, I can't see how it is a $2,000 better gun. Randy, any additional thoughts welcome. Thanks for a great review of a great shotgun.

[@RandyWakeman]

That's why they call them choices. When you consider the RS' adjustable comb and TriBore barrels, the F16 isn't that competitive.

Thank you for the reply 👍

Love Fabarm

Are you familiar with the Rizzini BR110 Sporter X? Rizzini now makes this platform with an adjustable comb and an adjustable rib (BR110 Sporter IPS) for the same MSRP as the Fabarm N2 RS. I'm wondering if you think the build quality of these brands is similar. Thanks.

[@leeturner3143]

Have not seen the IPS version. A friend has the Rizzini BR110 Sporting w/32" barrels, left hand. We shoot league together and we shoot a lot. The BR110 looks to be a solid performer. Totally reliable to date. Nice wood, adjustable comb... He is very happy with his. Performs above its price point from what I have observed. Fits him great and it shoots very well. Can't comment on customer service or factory support as he has never needed it. I believe Rizzini is aligned with Fierce rifles out of Utah. I'm a shooter not a qualified critic so this for what it's worth. Would enjoy seeing Randy W review the BR110 Sporting. Great channel here by the way.

[@donscott6130]

@@leeturner3143 Thank you. It seems like a gun worth considering, as does the Fabarm N2 RS. I'll have to get my hands on both to see how they fit and feel. As to repairs, I'd look to buy from a vendor that also is an authorized service provider.

[@RandyWakeman]

I've owned a few Battista Rizzini's-- from very good experiences to not good at all. Service is a question mark. Fabarm / CG gunsmiths are the best in the business, and Fabarm does all service work directly-- no farm-outs.

[@donscott6130]

@@RandyWakeman Thank you. Based on your videos and comments I'm leaning toward Fabarm or CG. But if I do decide on a Rizzini, I'll buy it from a vendor who is authorized to perform warranty work.

[@jayscott1380]

I wish Fabarm would make an auto loading 20 gauge.

[@RandyWakeman]

That's not in the cards.

[@jayscott1380]

@@RandyWakeman that sucks

[@jayscott1380]

@@RandyWakeman I also wish Beretta would change their goofy safety position.

[@lucianotavares3605]

What do you prefer? The N2 RS or the N2 Allsport XL?

[@RandyWakeman]

The RS.

[@lucianotavares3605]

​​@@RandyWakeman and do you shoot trap with the RS as well? I am about to buy one and I am in doubt about the RS or the Allsport XL and your experience counts a lot. Please let me know.

[@RandyWakeman]

I'm waiting for the Elos N2 RS trap, which has an adjustable rib: www.chuckhawks.com/2024FabarmNewModels.html .

Have many high ends gun over 10 grand ! It Has all them beat!😅

[@heliharris69]

Had mine the 32inch model for a few mths and i love it. Running mine with my own built 165grm stock weight for my preferred ballance setup and shooting Sporting with 24grm 7.5 Fiocci blues with great success. It would be perfect if it had extractors as opposed to ejectors.. So will look into that at some point. For the price £2000 in the UK.. Value for money dosn't come better than this.

[@leewoiteshek4192]

I would like to see you do a top five list of O/U's per five hundred dollar separation price point. Starting at 2K, ending at say 4K. 12/20 gauges. Grade of wood, chrome lined barrels, number of chokes, barrel regulation, checkering, engraving, fit, finish, etc.

[@RandyWakeman]

I can do three: Browning, Beretta, Fabarm. Many brands and models handily exceed your 4K threshhold.

[@leewoiteshek4192]

@@RandyWakeman I stopped at 4K, because I don't think many 5-20K guns every see a real deal pheasant/grouse/woodcock/quail hunt. One decent fall and you've ruined the gun.

[@RandyWakeman]

The N2 RS is, of course, a purpose-built clays gun: far too heavy to be an ideal upland 'walking a lot" shotgun. For me, upland is 20 gauge territory and this fall I'll be using a Fabarm Elos 2 Elite. Fabarm and Browning 725's would be my two primary candiates.

[@srswit]

You! You! You! Per your review I bought the Fabarm L4S lefthand and couldn't be more satisfied. Now you review this beaut. Going to have to start saving 40,000 pennies.😀

[@RandyWakeman]

Glad I could help!
