I'm thinking about getting a Franchi Intensity. If you have one, do you mind sharing likes or dislikes of it. Also, any load \ choke recommendations as well.
Thanks
Anybody?
I don't have an Intensity but did recently buy an Affinity. I bought it primarily for waterfowl hunting and upland and clays secondary. I will eventually use it as a b/u turkey gun but for now my 870 is my b/u to my Mossberg 835 turkey killer.
Back to Franchi, and my Affinity. I love this gun and as for wing shooting it is fantastic. I love the recoil pad system and shims they have and actually adjusted my lop to 15" which is the max I believe. I'm 6'3" and have long arms. This gun fits me like a glove. Not as critical with a turkey gun but I can assure you a well fitted turkey gun will be more pleasant to pattern and even take that one shot with than a gun that doesn't fit right. As for mechanics, no malfunctions with 2 3/4" target loads and then heavy game loads. Have not fired 3" shells yet though but not concerned. haven't heard a bad thing about them and wouldn't hesitate to buy an Intensity. I only chose the affinity as I do not need to or plan on shooting 3 1/2" through it.
Thank you for your response. I also have an affinity except in a 20 gauge. I absolutely love it. I don't mind shooting 3.5" I just want it to be reliable and pattern well. I love the way they feel. Clark gave me some advice on chokes. Thanks again.
Anytime! Good luck!
