Franchi O/U's ?

Post by MN Bonasa » Wed Feb 08, 2012 4:22 pm

Has anyone shot and handled the new Franchi Instinct over and unders? I was looking at the ole Franchi a while back and really liked them. I have not held the new Instinct however. I believe the cost is around 1200.00 which is kinda spendy but not crazy spendy like some out there. Just looking for opinions would like to get a new gun for next season and all the shops around here don't seem to have them on hand. Franchi's website http://www.franchiusa.com/ is pretty cool also.

Can't speak to the new Instinct O/Us, but I love my older Franchi O/U. I tried like heck to find a Beretta, Browning, CZ, or Caesar that fit me, but I kept coming back to the Franchis and have no regrets.

plus one on the old Franchi O/U's. I have a Veloce that is beautiful and a fabulous shooter.

I have handled the Instinct SL in 20G. It is extremely light but I actually like that so am seriously considering a 26" x 20 SL as my next purchase. Compared to other O/U on the market I actually find them a bargain really.
