Has anyone shot the Franchi elite w 26 inch barrel for turkey and if so how do you like it

Gmed

They have great reviews, but I, like you, would like to hear from members here what their opinion is, what choke for TSS #9, and is it worth the difference in price from the matte black Affinity.....

Gmed

I found a good deal on one and ordered it, so I will be able to give some input soon....

So I got the Affinity Elite Timber and so far, like it much. I got a picatinny base and installed a Fastfire 3 on it. Zeroed in three rounds. With a Jebs .570, using Federal TSS #9s, my first round put 349 in a 10" circle at just under 40 yards. Even pattern with no "holes". Should be a turkey takin machine. Light weight, and I like the cerakote/optifade Timber color. Wish it had a 24" barrel, but that's just minor. I have a Sumtoy .562, a Carlson's .575, and an Indian Creek .570 I may try - and then I may not....this Jebs combo is pretty awesome. If not, I'll have some of these extra chokes for sale in the 20 gauge choke classifieds soon...
