Franchi Affinity Help

[macobb]

I am about to buy a Franchi Affinity 20 gauge compact 24" barrel MOBL. I am going to put a Vortex Venom Red Dot on it and load 2 3/4" #9's in it. I am looking for what chokes people have had success with and what kind of patterns you're getting. Also it comes drilled and tapped but I am looking for insight on how you mounted your red dot? I dont want a picatinny rail if I can avoid it but want a solid mount. Thanks for any tips.

I have the same setup and I mounted my sight on marlin 336 base for a Burris. I shoot a jebs 560 in mine and get 346 # 9's in the 10 inch circle at 40 yards. That's using 1 5/8 ounce load as well. It probably wouldn't hurt to open it up some but it's a real nice even pattern.

Sumtoy base on mine. Works great. Very low profile. Choke somewhere in between .555 and .575 depending on how tight a pattern you want.

[macobb]

Did you contact sumtoy customs to get the mount? I can't find anywhere to get one unless I'm missing something? I plan on trying to stick as close to .575 as possible. I don't ever like to shoot much pass 40 yards if at all possible. But I hate when they're within steps and you worry about the patterns being too tight.

Call Sumtoy direct. Carlsons .575 extended tube is a great option. Mine shot 280 in the 10" circle at 40yds with that choke and gave a nice pattern at 25 yds. Amazon has that choke for a good price.

I have been digging trying to find a .575 carlsons. On amazon all i can find is remington or winchester. Am i missing something or do they actually make one for Franchi

[huntinsomd]

Don't see them on amazon now, but they are available on ebay for about $29. Carlsons .575 extended choke beretta/benelli mobil.

Are the new franchi affinity's mobil choke thread?

Where did you find a compact in bottom land camo all I can find is black or real tree max 5  that would be the gun I would want

[macobb]

You will have to call around to local dealers to see what they can get. They're not in stock yet this is the first year they're selling them in bottomland. I was told they will probably be released in July but do not have a definitive date yet but I kinda know the guy that orders them where I am and he told me he'd call me when they get the first shipment on the way.

I emailed Franchi about the compact affinity 20 gauge in Mossyoak bottomland they said nothing would be released until shot show 2020 and didn't say it would definitely be then

[macobb]

That's not good news. I hadn't heard that I hope they release it sooner cause I had intended on getting one set up before next year

[Leadchunker]

Same here goina start calling around hopefully they will be out sooner than that if i find one I will pass it on

Sumtoy mount on mine. Ff2 with an Undertaker .582 choke. Shooting 1 5/8 tss (90/93 load) and my daughter shoots 1 3/8 of 9.5's with a Primos Tightwad .570 choke.

The smaller shot/payload likes the tighter choke.

562 for hot patterns.   We like 570 for a good hunting pattern.   You can order mount over PM if you have paypal.  If not call in and do cards.
