Luigi Franchi S.p.A. · Shotgun · In Production · 2018
Overview
The Franchi Affinity 3.5 is a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun with a 3.5" chamber, designed specifically for waterfowl hunting with heavy magnum loads. Using Franchi's Inertia Driven system, it reliably cycles everything from 2-3/4" target loads to 3.5" magnum shells. The chrome-lined barrel, TSA recoil pad, and stepped ventilated rib with fiber-optic front sight make it a capable waterfowl gun at an accessible price point.
