Franchi Instinct LX

[mbk]

Anyone have any experience with one of these?

They look great in my opinion, and are quite reasonably priced if they're still made in Italy. I can't seem to find any in stock or second hand in Canada though. If anyone has a lead on one, knows who might be getting them and when - please put me on.

TIA!

The Franchi Instinct is made in Italy by Bettinsoli. They are a real nice field gun, very light and pleasant to carry in the field. Light also means recoil and not really suitable for high volume shooting. Quality is not quite at the same level of a Beretta/Browning. I would recommend handling one before you buy as fit can be a real hit or miss.

I have the Renaissance which is the predecessor of the Instinct and its a good field gun. It is a light ( 6 lbs) 12 gauge with decent wood and mediocre triggers. As mentioned it is not of Beretta quality but shoots and handles well for me.
