The IFG Fair Carrera IV is a 12-gauge over-under with a 32-inch ported barrel, built around a nickel receiver with black script accents. The FX wood stock has an adjustable comb so fit can be dialed in for different shooters, and the gun ships with an ABS case.

Detailed Features 

The ported barrels reduce muzzle rise and keep the gun on target for follow-up shots, useful in fast-moving clay disciplines. A ventilated midrib helps dissipate heat during extended sessions and trims a bit of weight. The fiber optic front sight and midbead give a clear sight picture even in flat light. The adjustable comb is a genuine practical feature. Being able to set cheek weld height makes a real difference in point-of-impact consistency, particularly for sporting clays competitors who want a tailored fit rather than making do with a stock-length-only adjustment. 
 

Target Audience 

The Carrera IV is aimed at intermediate and advanced clay shooters and upland hunters who want a well-fitted, competition-oriented over-under without moving into full custom territory. The 32-inch barrel length and porting point toward sporting clays and trap rather than a general-purpose field gun. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

• Sporting Clays: The long barrel and ported muzzle suit the longer shots and sustained-fire sequences in sporting clays courses. 
• Upland Bird Hunting: Two-round capacity and the adjustable stock cover typical field use. 
• Range Training: Adjustable comb and fiber optic sight help newer competitors quickly develop consistent mount and point-of-impact.

Owners of the IFG Fair Carrera IV Elite 12 GA generally speak well of it, with some consistent points on both sides.

Build quality gets positive attention. The construction, materials, and fit are frequently called out as solid for the price range. The nickel receiver finish and FX wood stock hold up well in regular use.

Performance in the field or on the sporting clays course is another strong point. The gun cycles smoothly, accuracy is consistent, and the ported barrel's recoil reduction is noticeable during extended sessions.

Ergonomics draw good feedback too. The balance and grip work for most shooters, and the gun doesn't become tiring to carry or mount over a full round.

Weight is the most common criticism. At the heavier end for a 12-gauge over-under, it can be a drawback for anyone covering a lot of ground on foot.

Price comes up in comparisons. Some buyers feel the cost is above comparable options from other makers, and whether the Carrera IV justifies the premium is a recurring debate.

A handful of enthusiasts want more aftermarket customization options, though the adjustable comb covers the most practical fit adjustment for most shooters.
