:icon_thumright:

I bought an Affinity this year in 20g and love it.  Used the money I saved from not buying the M2 as a deposit for a new archery rig.  Nothing against the M2 - it is a heck of gun - but the Franchi is way easier on the wallet.

Does the affinity cycle low powered shells too? I'll probably rabbit and dove hunt with it too

Honestly, I haven't run any rabbit or dove loads through mine yet, but plan to. 

It has cycled 3 inch nitros flawlessly  ;D

I read an article about the affinity and the guy testing it shot everything from light skeet loads to federal heavyweight 3" mags. He claims the gun performed flawlessly.
