Franchi affinity vs benelli m2.

25 posts · Joined 2023. #1 · Dec 16, 2023. I have been researching a Franchi Affinity 3 in 12 gauge with walnut stock as a general purpose shotgun. I only own one shotgun, an O/U 12 gauge, and want to add a reasonably priced quality semi-auto 12 gauge to my collection. As of now I’ve settled on the Franchi due to high quality for price, but ...

Franchi affinity vs benelli m2. Things To Know About Franchi affinity vs benelli m2.

This shotgun has been severely overlooked in the 3-gun world in my opinion. For 200-300 more than a Stoeger and ~400 less than an M2, you get most of the Benelli quality and better parts compatibility with the M2 to boot. My post count isn't high enough to post links yet, but if you search for "Franchi Affinity vs Benelli M2 for 3-Gun" on ...Posted April 17, 2016. I have the M2 and love the gun, if I was spending the money for a brand new Franchi I'd buy a used M2. The Franchi is similar to the M2 but not the same.

Is there anyone who owns, or owned, both the original Franchi Affinity model and the newer Affinity 3 model? I own the original Affinity (12 gauge, 28" barrel) and am wondering if the new Affinity 3 model with the oversized bolt handle, bolt release and magazine port is worth upgrading to.This is right and results in a significant difference IMHO. In terms of cleaning, the Franchi Affinity is much simpler and requires fewer tools than the Benelli semi-autos (judging by the videos Benelli puts out - I only have first hand experience with the Franchi Affinity). Share. Like.FRANCHI AFFINITY 3.5 By Laura Kovarik. This elegant soft-shooting 12-gauge is a tip of the hat to its Italian engineering roots and also harnesses the superiority of the Inertia-Driven systems of its Benelli brethren. It features over-sized controls that make it easy to manipulate even if you’ve got gloves on or damp hands from setting decoys ...

You are correct on the order. The Franchi is for sure the superior gun between the two and the price tag reflects that. Franchi is made side-by-side with Benelli in Italy. Stoeger does have the exact same Inertia-Driven recoil system that both the Benelli and Franchi has, but at a much cheaper price point.

Sep 18, 2012 · On gunbroker right now, the Affinity 20 is $669.00 in black, $759.00 in camo.

The test Affinity 3 is available with a 28in barrel only. I have a preference for longer-barrelled semi-autos but a semi-automatic has the advantage – as far as its sighting plane is concerned – of a long receiver. So, a 28in gun has a 35in sighting plane or thereabouts. The top of the receiver in the test gun is machined as an extension of ...Franchi Affinity 3 Turkey Elite.

I bought a 28” 12GA Affinity when Franchi first released them. The gun now has a camo stock & forearm but still functions flawlessly.

That’s the most important thing.The Affinity is the "poor man's" M2. Search YouTube, there are comparison videos between the M2 and Affinity. IMO the Affinity points/shoots/handles like a dream.
