Title: Franchi Affinity 3 Turkey Gun
Post by: BottomLand54 on January 27, 2018, 02:57:29 PM
Ok guys, I finally got my Franchi Affinity 3 20 gauge, 26" Barrel, mossy oak bottomland.

The franchi 3 comes with 3 factory benelli Mobil chokes, and comes already drilled and tapped.

I have installed a sumtoy Mount
Burris ffiii
And sumtoy 562.5 choke

I plan on shooting apex 3" 1 5/8oz 9's

When I get a chance I will post some pattern pics.

Till then here is pic of Gun.

Love mine.  But...honestly it shoots too tight using 1.625 oz of TSS through a Carlson .575.  If your .562 is any tighter, aim small. Real small..

Good looking setup. I am looking for a similar setup.  Which chokes are compatible with the Franchi?

Franchi takes the benelli Mobil chokes

Sumtoy is what I have also want to try an Indian creek .562 but havnt shot the gun yet to know what it does with the sumtoy. The franchi that is not a ln affinity 3 does not come drilled and tapped so if you want optics the 3 is the way to go.

Nice looking gun!  That bottomland blends in way better than I ever thought it would.  I got a bottomland Affinity last year for a great deal @ Cabelas....now I know why.  I just shipped mine off to Sumtoy to get his mount installed and a 570 choke.  I usually end up with birds really close (all but 1 of the last 6 were inside of 25 yards so I may even open that up to a 580).

I know this is an old post but I just traded into one of these. Did the Sumtoy mount fit on to the factory holes?
