last weekend, I went on quail hunt. Got to try several O/U. The typicals Citoris, red label, beretta, etc. But one stood out to me. Franachi. It was dead light, pointed well, seemed like top quality.

Anyone have one? Any experience?

I don't have one, but have shot one and yep they are a nice shotgun...especially for the price! Basically a cheaper Benelli...

Thanks for the update. Still can't decide. You got the resaleof a Citori field or lightning, but would have to buy used or could spend 1100-1200 for a Franchi. And they have a 200 dollar rebate right now.

The one I shot was an auto, not sure what model. I've never saw an O/U Franchi, can't find info on their website either, just the pic on the homepage...

I like the "brand", but not a fan of their butt stock !

Imagine trying to cut that down to shorten the LOP.

A buddy of mine owns one of their SxS - nice gun for the money !

Thanks guys, I am still trying to figure out how to pronounce.

The spelling is Franchi and it's pronounced fran-key.

...... Baaa haaa haaa...........

Now that's a turkey killer !!!


See the new style butt stock; looks like the first cynergy's.

Too "funky" for me; so I have the classic stock on my cynergy.

I'm only 5'6" so I almost always get my stocks shortened and a new pachmayr decelerator pad put on.

You'd need a jig saw for those others. LOL !
