Franchi over and unders

[andy_o]

Im thinking of purchasing a new franchi alcione sporting in 12ga. I was wondering if anybody has any experince with one of these guns. I was wondering mostly about the way they pattern and their reiabilty. I have been shoping around and I picked one up with the 30" barrel and it fit me better than any gun I have ever held. I am going to be using it mostly for trap and sporting clays events. Any help will be apreicated.

I had a Veloce in 20 gauge (had to sell it to pay a bill [:@]). It was one beautiful, nice shooting shotgun. In my opinion, you just can't beat the Franchi guns. They are priced well below others also. I paid $900.00 for mine, new in the box. The dealership I sold it to wants $1,000.00 for it, and that's after I shot the dickens out of it.

I absolutely love mine. I just ordered a set of 20 ga barrels for it. The great thing about this gun that others lack is that the barrels can be interchanged w/o sending to the factory for headspacing. I believe they have 5 different barrels available now. Franchiusa ibelieve is the website. Also try Benelliusa as they are both subs of berettausa
