RE: Franchi 148 AL 12 gauge
Not much bad about them other than they are not made in 12 gauge any longer. Being Long Recoil operated, they are not the best for load versatility. They are pretty much geared for upland use but, can be used for other things.They take a little longer to unload because you can't rack the rounds out thru the action like most other semi auto's. It's really a safer method in the long run. They are the longest running auto loading shotgun currently in production.
I've had mine for quite a few years now and for me there is no better upland model.
