Franchi shotguns?

[trigger7mm]

I’m thinking of buying a Franchi O/U shotgun. Does anyone own a Franchi, and how to do like it? Thank you for your responses.

Benelli - Franchi


They are fine shotguns that preform as advertised. If you dont want to spend the premium on a Benelli, Franchi is an excellent choice.

Far better than grabbing one of the turkish knockoffs.

Thank you for that.

I have owned quite a few, older ones before the Canadian distributorship, and a few since they were bought by the Beretta corporation.
They were and are good , well built shotguns.
I have shot both the O/U's and the semis.
I much prefer the Franchi over/ unders to any Bnnelli

Good post.

They are a good value for the money, if they fit you. Fit is still the number one priority, for wingshooting.

I had a Renaissance Classic combo with 20 and 28 gauge barrel sets. It was actually my brother-in-law's gun but I carried it more than he did. Had to help him sell it a few years back and it kills me that at the time I did not have the money to take it off his hands. Only ever used the 20 gauge but I can honestly say I never missed a shot with that gun. Every shot either powderized a clay or folded a bird. I took a pile of pheasant, sharptails, huns, and a few ducks with that beauty. I loved it as it was so light and the geometry was perfect. All these years later, I now have the Benellis and Citoris in my locker but I would love to get my hands on that particular Franchi again.
