Franchi Affinity
The sleek, perfectly balanced Franchi Affinity is a versatile Inertia Driven semiautomatic shotgun. Its slim fore end, light weight, precise symmetry, and refined design deliver a responsiveness that few shotguns can claim. The integration of form and function makes it a natural extension of the shooter, and as soon as you shoulder it you instantly know it feels right, inspiring the confidence to make shots you might not have tried before.
The Affinity is available in 12 or 20 gauge, including a compact 20 gauge, and is chambered for 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells. Barrel options include 24 inch on compact models and 26, 28, and 30 inch on standard variants. Finishes include black synthetic, Realtree MAX-4 and Realtree APG camo, with an option featuring a brushed nickel anodized receiver, and models are also offered with an AA grade satin walnut stock. Typical weights range from about 5.5 to 5.6 pounds in 20 gauge and 6.4 to 6.8 pounds in 12 gauge. Each gun includes IC, M, and F choke tubes and a wrench.
The dependable trigger group is easily removed for cleaning and maintenance by punching out a single pin. The safety is located at the rear of the trigger guard for more intuitive operation, and the slim wrist with a unique scaled checkering pattern provides a positive gripping surface with a responsive feel. The ultra reliable Inertia Driven system uses a bolt assembly with a rotating bolt head, and the lightweight aluminum alloy receiver is strengthened with steel inserts to ensure a solid steel to steel lockup. A sleek, slim line fore-end promotes easy handling and excellent balance, making the Affinity equally at home in the field or on the range. Affinity Compact models include four quarter inch spacers to adjust length of pull from 12 3/8 to 13 3/8 inches. A custom fitted hard case protects the gun during transport. Standard dimensions include a 14.25 inch length of pull, a drop at heel adjustable from 2 to 2.5 inches, and a 1.5 inch drop at comb.
Optional accessories include TSA recoil pads in three options to customize length of pull, with a gel insert available separately, though these pads are not compatible with Affinity Compact models. Extended choke tubes are offered in C, IC, Pass, M, IM, Decoy, F, and XFT.
