“Tag: Franchi”

Franchi proved back in 2018 that it was more than just a shotgun manufacturer with its original Momentum rifle, and now the company is expanding the line with souped-up “Elite” versions of the initial gun.

Whether for hunting or home defense, there are a number of great new shotguns on the market that are designed to meet your needs.

On this week’s “Gun of the Week,” American Rifleman staff examine the Franchi Instinct SL, an Italian-made over-under designed to be light in the hands for extended field sessions in pursuit of flying game.

It might seem strange at first for Franchi to name a shotgun “Affinity,” but in the broad sense of the word, a natural liking for something, it fits. Simply put, it’s an easy shotgun to shoot and shoot well.

Best known for fine Italian shotguns affordably priced for the American market, Franchi is celebrating its 150th anniversary as a firearm manufacturer. In all that time, however, it has never made a center-fire bolt-action rifle. The aptly named Momentum changes all that.

Franchi is forging a new path by entering the bolt-action rifle market, and doing so in style.
