Franchi Affinity 3.0/3.5

Anyone own one of these 12 gauge shotguns? Looking hard at a 3.5 as a do-it-all shotgun (squirrels, rabbits, ducks, geese)
I have a 410 for turkey

I do, and love the gun. Switched from an A5 I could never get comfortable with and shot like poo to this gun. I immediately took to it and haven’t looked back.

My son’s 1st shotgun was an affinity compact in 20g. I’ve put a regular stock on it now.
It’s been a great shotgun for the 8-10yrs he’s had it.
It’s Benelli’s inertia system which has proven to be pretty bullet proof.

Have had the affinity 3.5 for 4 years with no hiccups.

I have a 12 and 20. I used the 20 this dove opener and haven't had that much fun in the field in a long time. I love those guns

I have a 20 gauge for turkey hunting- every bit as smooth as a Benelli.

Bought the 3” affinity in 2017. Haven’t had any problems with it other than the padding on the recoil pad kinda falling apart.
Was able to find a replacement on Midwest online but just looked and they’re all sold out now everywhere. It’s an odd shape that’s specific to the Franchi’s so not sure what’d happen if I needed another one.

I had one it was a huge piece of shite, but I seem to be in the minority, bc the reason I bought it was bc I liked the feel and there were a ton of good reviews. Ended up giving it to a guy for a 45qt yeti cooler.
