The name Fenice evokes the concept of the ultimate progression of the gunmaker’s art. The World Class Fenice 20- and 28-gauges from Franchi are built around the time-tested 48 AL design. The Fenice’s high-polish, chrome-plated bolt is contained in a nickel-plated lightweight alloy receiver featuring fine scroll engraving and generous gold game scene inlays. The Fenice is fitted with an oil-finished stock of AA-Grade, highly figured European walnut.
On the left hand receiver of the 20-gauge Fenice, line-engraved scrollwork accents a flight of gold embellished snipe rising above a flooded field. A finely detailed covey of partridges take to the air across a meadow on the right receiver face.
Flanked by line-engraved scrollwork, gold embellished partridges break cover from the margin of an upland meadow on the left face of the 28-gauge Fenice’s nickel-plated, lightweight alloy receiver. On the other side, two diving ducks rise from a pond while a coot stands concealed in sheltering cattails. The Fenice features a gold plated trigger and cross bolt safety positioned at the rear of the trigger guard.
