Thank you guys for all the input! I ended up with camouflaged Franchi Affinity from a local mom and pop gun store. Put 200 rounds at a club skeet & trap range; The action smooth as a butter, the gun shoulders and points naturally, zero issues with cycling. The craftsmanship is pretty good for this price class gun. I have no regrets, hope it won't let me down in the field.
Thanks for getting back to us and I think you chose wisely.
Thats a personal bias because my franchi affinity is my once a year duck gun and the loaner gun for my trap team. It never skips a beat with the light shells.
