Franchi affinity

[monsterman]

Brokedown and bought a franchi affinity 3 in gun gonna shoot longbeards in 5s or 6s whichever patterns better question is what diameter tube should i use and if any of u guys shoot this combo or have shot it? new to forum so be easy on me lol

I believe that gun uses a Ber/Ben style choke?  I'd get a SumToy .650 and shoot the #6 longbeards.  Those guns have a bit tighter bore so the 6's will more than likely do better.  I owned a Franchi I-12 ....it was a GREAT gun!!!  Congrats!!!

I just bought the same gun.. I used an indian creek choke and shot hevi shot magnum blends and it patterned well at 40 yds. I plan to shoot hevi 13 #6's this weekend and hope to get even better patterns. Let me know how it goes for ya. Good luck

It uses the mobil choke threads (beretta/benelli) & either a SumToy or Rob Roberts choke will make it dance!

Called william at sumtoy told him what i was shooting he recommended a 665 choke its on the way as soon as this weather decides if its winter or early spring i will let yall know  how it shoots

[SumToy]

Yup we have found that the 665 has a little more wiggle room and will be a 40 yard gun all day.

Nice! I just ordered an Affinity in Mossy oak bottomland today, plan on shooting longbeard 5 or 6s from it. I may be giving sum toy a call.

My Affinity should be in today. I have shot a Rem 11-87 special purpose for 11 years. i just got the itch to get a new gun. I'm a little concerned with going from a 21" barrel to a 26". but other than that i excited about getting the gun. i have done a lot of research and the two recommended chokes for the Affinity has been the sum toy and rob Roberts. i ordered a rob Roberts sunday and it should be in any day. I'll be shooting heavy mag blend.( fell in love with them two years ago) Also, i have been looking for a pistol grip stock. from my research, even though stoeger and benelli have them and they are all from the same family, they are not interchangeable. i hope the reason being is the affinity is a rather new model. i really would like one for it. if anyone have any suggestions i would appreciate it.

Shot my bottomland affinity today with a .655 primos tightwad and #5 and #6 win LongBeards. It shot very good.  The 5s did good and I wouldn't be scared to hunt with em, but the 6s were better. I didn't even bother to count holes, but if I had to guess the 6s were in the 180 range maybe a little better. I'll count em tomorrow.
