Title: Franchi opinions
Post by: Fatbeard on February 01, 2015, 10:14:06 AM
Anybody shoot one on here? Found an awesome deal on a 26" Intensity. Are they junk? Are they great? Would like some opinions before I make a desicion on it

The ones I looked at & handled were very nice guns. I believe they use the Mobile chokes like that was used in the older Benelli's.  My Beretta uses the same chokes & they work great.  They run around $24-$25 for the standard chokes.  I think they use the same or a similar recoil operated system like the Benelli's use.  I think you will be very happy with it.  Others that own one can give you more feedback on it.

I have a 48 al and it's a very well built gun. They're part of Benelli and have a few similarities I believe.

I have a Franchi I-12 as my waterfowl gun and it gets whole lot of attention and I have been very pleased with how it has performed and held up.  Very straight shooter.  I say go for it.

I agree, go for it.  I bought an Affinity in 20g last spring and liked it so much that I purchased an Instinct o/u in the fall.  Franchi makes a great gun.   :icon_thumright:
