Centerfire Rifle from Franchi? (Franchi Momemtum)

[fade2black]

Does anyone have any experience with these rifles? I believe they are relatively new and have not seen one in person. They seem to have some interesting features and the increasingly popular 3 lug, 60 degree, push feed bolt design. They also claim the recoil pad absorbs 50% of the felt recoil!

In 2018, just 130 years after invention of smokeless powder small italian firm puts a rubber pad on the back of a budged rifle in a plastic molded stock. Felt recoil is reduced.

Shooting will never be the same after this revolution.

I just bought one recently --love it -- vey accurate. The forestock is very stable unlike my Ruger American and most other synthetics I've handled. There are many nice features about this little rifle -the 7 year guarantee doesn't hurt. TAlmost forgot -- one thing that I really like is the balance -- It should carry well -- find some synthetics like the Tikka 3 lite is barrel heavy and after a morning in the woods they seem cumbersome.

Where did you find it and how much did it set you back if I may ask?

No offense but that rifle makes an axis look good. Hope they shoot well

Price?

Looks like they also come in Tree carcass configuration.

doesn't look like too bad of a rifle to me. curious about price and available cartridges it comes in. though I am not a fan of hinged floorplates. I prefer magazines.

I see you have a pc or laptop -- easy to look up -- they run around $700.00

Personally I like floor plates over magazines -- Witnessed to many hunts spoiled by lost mags. Driving back home 75 miles for s forgotten magazine is a drag.

I think I'm learning more towards the wood stock, glad to hear you like the rifle!

This rifle is WAY better looking than a frickin' Axis... and I prefer hinged floor plates too.

Is it normal to have floor plate release inside the trigger guard?

Yup kimber does

The wood stock version seems to be a limited edition. I would have to consider that rifle if I was looking for one on a budget.
