     Went out and sighted in my new Franchi Affinity 3 20ga today. Shot several varieties of shells, but the gun ended up loving the Apex GT 20 9's. Only had one choke to test (Carlson's .575 extended). Pic of 40yd pattern attached.

The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

thanks for posting this. I also have a franchi affinity was was curious if the carlson 575 would pattern well. Looks like I'll try it before buying chokes.

It worked well with Federal TSS, but really liked the Apex shells. I may try a different choke at some point, but I'm happy for now.

X2......have yet to try put mine on paper but shooting GT20s also and your pic has me fired up. Thanks for posting!

Thank you.....my inspiration for putting together this combo came from what I saw posted on this site by others! Don't know what I'd do without hunting and fishing forums these days!

I think you found the right combo so save your . Good luck with it!

What numbers were you getting with the feds?

huntinsomd

I didn't count the Feds, but the pattern was still a good one. Not as tight, maybe low to mid 200's.

I have a std Affinity 20 compact & I've tried multiple chokes in it, keep going back to the Carlson's .575.
