If you dont mind spending the extra money go with the Benelli. It just feels better to me. With that being said shoulder both and see which one you prefer. I really like both shotguns so its just which one I decide to use that hunt. Theyre both fine guns the recoil seems worse on the Franchi though.


Thank yall for telling me about this rifle I went ahead and bought one as well. I had a Meopta scope that I got a good deal on that had been sitting in my safe and needed something to put it on. I went with the 6.5 Creedmore because I already have a couple .308s so I wanted to switch it up.

I shouldered a used Franchi 612 vs earlier and didn't really like it, but I know that is a different gun and this was old and beat up. They had a used a5 mag 12 with engraving that was really pretty and I was considering buying it and one of the classic old men who hang around gun stores saw me shouldering it and asked what it was and I told him and he was like "oh let me call my friend, he's been looking for one forever, I better get it for him." I should have just bought it but it had a synthetic stock put on it, so I wasn't sure how much action it had seen. There are probably more floating around. Rant over.
