Customer Reviews for FRANCHI INSTINCT L 20GA, 28" BARREL

Got the Franchi Instinct L in 20ga with 28 inch barrel and is a beautiful gun, lightweight, nice dark walnut wood, ejectors that do a great job, a nice fiber optic front sight, neutral cast for both right and left handed shooters and nice hard plastic hard case. I think it is a good bang for your money at $1,000 you get an above average Italian made O/U that you will enjoy during pigeon, pheasant,waterfowl seasons and a good entry level skeet gun. The 7 year warranty is also a plus!

Very nice shotgun, 100 rounds thru it the first day. Nice and light and swings up great. Fit and finish was excellent for a shotgun at this price. Fast shipping from Buds too! Just wanted to update my review of the Franchi instinct L. At 200 rounds the shotgun would not fire. Returned to Benelli on my dime. Turnaround time was quoted at 9 weeks. We'll see how they do. Shipped shotgun back to Benelli on 5/23/15. Recieved repaired shotgun back on 8/20/2015 with 2 nice scraches in the forgrip(not to appy about that). Took the shotgun to the range on 8/27 after about 80 rounds shotgun began to fire only one barrel, then shotgun would not fire at all. Back to benilli on 9/3. No word back from them yet. I love the way this shotgun swings and feels, it just fits me great, sure hope they can get the reliability issue straightend out.

I took my new Franchi to the range for the first time yesterday, and I must say I am very pleased with it. Fit and finish are excellent. While 20ga is not an overly hard kicker, the recoil pad does a great job. The fiber optic front bead makes target acquisition easy, and both barrels shoot to point of aim. Cleanup is a breeze with the chrome lined barrels. I have shot several other brand O/U's that were difficult to break open for loading/unloading; not so the Franchi. So far I'm very happy with this gun.
