Title: Franchi Affinity 20 ga, choke and shell question
Post by: strutnva on January 09, 2016, 06:00:48 PM
I just picked one up in Bottomland with a 26 in barrel earlier today on a whim because it caught my attention.  'I really liked the feel and weight.  With no prior knowledge about one, I'm hoping someone here can give me a place to start for choke tube recommendations and a likely shell to make her a fine backup gun if not a primary carry.  Thanks for any help.

3" Federal Heavyweight #7's with a Trulock choke.  Trulock makes one specifically for the Heavyweights and will make sure you're happy with the pattern. If not return it within 60 days for your money back.

Thanks guys.  The Federal 7's are on the way along with a Sumtoy 562-5.  'If that doesn't work out I'll try the Carlson or the Trulock.

Correct 575 in Mobil choke. 578 in crio for some reason
