I bought a Franchi Affinity 3 for my grandson. Has the youth stock, but an adult one is available. Receiver is drilled and tapped. Walnut stock is available. Inertia system. Made in Italy.
We have had nothing but issues with our affinity 20, my buddy bought one too, neither will cycle standard target loads.
They had one malfunction while dove hunting. Too early to tell at this point. Might just need some break-in.
For myself, I would seek out a nice Belgian Twentyweight A5. Been using my Light Twelve for 5-Stand and have been fascinating folks who’ve never seen one operate. Could get a pretty nice one for the price of a Benelli.
