Franchi’s diverse line of Affinity 3 semi-automatic shotguns is seeing a new addition in 2024 with the addition of the Sport Trap. Chambered for 12 gauge, this new Italian-made repeating shotgun is designed and marketed to new and up-and-coming clay target shooters.

The Affinity 3 Sport Trap offers a feature-rich platform with a 30” barrel and 3” chamber for myriad shell types, an inertia-driven action for clean and smooth performance, along with adjustable ergonomics to meet the needs of both new and veteran target shotgunners alike.

Franchi’s Sport Trap will come with the firm’s proprietary forcing cone to reduce recoil and improve shotshell performance and an Omni Stock to give users an adjustable fit, whether it be through cast, drop or length-of-pull adjustments. Additionally, a stepped, ventilated sighting rib, ported barrel, Mobil chokes, oversized controls and beveled magazine well round out its features.

For a closer look at this new inertia-driven Franchi Affinity 3 Sport Trap, watch our “New For 2024” video above.
