Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone owns or has tried out a Franchi Affinity. I was reading up on them and they are getting great reviews. They use a similar inertia recoil system as the Benelli auto loaders. I am interested in getting one in 20 gauge since they are 5.5 lbs. I imagine they would be great for upland and rabbit hunting. Does anyone happen to know where you can get them in 20 gauge? All the stores seem to only list them in 12 gauge.
R.
Hey, if you are still looking for one, check this post!

Good deal to boot!
Never owned one but have handled them in stores and love the feel of them but that is very subjective. Very light guns. I also like the fact that it's an inertia gun. I have always preferred that over a gas semi. Nicer and simpler to clean. Very similar design to a Benelli, same owners.
Just wondering, did you catch the intended humor in the post?Quote:

After a second look, yes.Quote:

Yep, that's impressive. It is a very light gun though so there will definitely be more recoil felt than the heavier guns.
Still trying to figure this out. You are asking for a review of this gun, why not just give us a review of the one that you have posted here on OOD? You could get one in a 20 gauge by going over to the for sale section and buying it from yourself! :confused:Quote:

Great gun my buddy got one at elwoods last year. We have put 1000s of rounds through it and it has never jammed even with the cheapest loads. The only thing i dont like is that the stock feels cheap, but for the price you cant beat it! Easy to clean and if you take it all the way apart you can just google how to put it back together lol
Not sure what has PaulR so confused. I asked for a review on the Affinity over a year ago. I have since bought one, used it for a little bit and decided to sell it because my housing situation has changed. What part of this has your brain so rattled?
For some reason it (the question about opinions) came up as a new post, not something from a year ago! I have seen others ask about apparent changes to dates on some posts, guessing that may have been what happened. I always go to new posts first, and both were there.Quote:
