Franchi Affinity?
Anybody have one and if so how do you like it. I have read many favorable reviews. Thinking of picking one up in a 20 gauge for the wife. I see Cabelas sells them in 12 gauge, other than that I'm having trouble finding other Franchi dealers. I'd appreciate any input.

heard lots of good things about the affinity. I used to have one of their I-12 12 ga in camo, performed well with most loads except for the Cheap winchester target loads. maybe they have fixed the issue with the affinity. it is almost a benelli without the benelli price.

Thanks JB, I know it's relatively light how is it for recoil? I understand lop can be adjusted with shims, true? Appreciate the help I'm thinking it may be just the ticket for the wife...

Nice looking well made guns, but they don't fit greylynx.
If they did fit I would own one.

Affinity
The girlfriend got a 20 for her birthday...very light...weighs 5.6 lbs as specified for the 28 incher...however...the Franchi USA site now shows a version with two OAL lengths for a little more cash...must either include a youth stock or an adjustable LOP version...this would have been better for her short self!! An excellent substitute for the much more expensive benelli ultralite...

I've got two AL 48's in a 20 gauge and I've owned an Eldorado in the 12 gauge. Great light guns, especially for bird hunting.

A Good Gun
Th important point is the gun use Benelli Inertia Driven system and is only the half price of Benelli Inertia semi-auto. Not like gas driven semi-auto, you will only need to clean the barrel after shot. It has 7 year warranty as well.

i know in edmonton P&D carries a good selection of franchi. any dealer that carries sako, tikk, beretta or benelli can order them in for you as they all come from stoeger canada.
