    Franchi Affinity 3

    Hey guys, does anyone have experience with the Franchi Affinity 3 ? I'm looking to upgrade from my Stoeger M3000 and these Franchise look like the business.

    Juts the standard black model, can't swing high enough for the elite.

    pretty good gun, basically an italian made stoeger so better tolerences/machining plus a 7year warranty still has controlled rd feed and inertia action so same manual of arms and cleaning process as your stoeger

    I like these guys for reviews , they pull no punches when reviewing unlike some USA sights/ magazines dependent on manufactures money for advertising.

    Seem to be generally a fairly good choice.
    Great warranty.

    Thanks for the link @jakewire that's pretty similar to other reviews I've seen so that's promising.

    Just realized I should have out this on the shotgunning section

    Good guns. Pretty much a Benelli M2. They even have Benelli stamped on the receiver

    Owned by Beretta Corp (So are Benelli and Stoeger) and are basically a Benelli M2 without the recoil reduction system in the stock. A good gun and a very good step up from the Stoeger.

    Hey team, went into my local yesterday and picked a few up and got a feel for them.

    They had an Affinity, Beretta A300 and a Benelli m2.

    Ended up taking home the Affinity as it fitted me the best.
