Description
Franchi Instinct SL Over/Under Shotgun
Franchi's Instinct SL is a well-balanced, fast handling over/under shotgun gets on target quickly so that you can down flushed birds before they're out of range. This is an ideal upland bird gun—like its name, the gun handles instinctively. The color case hardened receiver adds elegance to purpose. The auto safety doubles as a barrel selector, and auto ejectors send spent cartridges clear for unhindered reloading. The vent rib has a fiber optic sight. The Franchi Instinct SL Over/Under Shotgun comes with an A-grade walnut stock and fore-end that are finely checkered to provide a secure grip. A hard-heeled recoil pad shoulders effortlessly, and stays put on the shoulder for quick follow-up shots. Comes with a custom-fitted hard case, 3 choke tubes (IC, M, F) and wrench.

Franchi Instinct SL, 12ga, 26"Absolutely love this gun. I took it into the field shortly after purchasing for pheasant and was extremely happy with the results. At ~6 lbs you can carry it all day and it snaps into firing position so quickly, making target tracking and swinging through the shot extremely intuitive. The gun is well balanced and despite its low weight has very little kick (shooting 2 3/4 Rem Nitro and Federal Prairie Storm). Fit and finish are simple yet elegant with minor engraving around the receiver. For this price the Franchi is hard to beat. Really looking forward to using this gun for years to come. As with any firearm, make sure you are able to handle the gun before you buy it!

Very nice gun. 20 ga.I bought this gun mainly for clays. I could not be happier for the money. It is on the light side but I find the recoil with target load, 1 1/8 ounce loads, very mild. It fits me as well as any factory stock gun could. I am 5 11. I have several high end automatics and I prefer this gun over any of them for clays. The fit and finish are excellent and the gun is very attractive. It handles very well. It is a little stiff in the beginning but I expect that from a new gun that didn’t cost 2500 plus. The trigger is acceptable, but not like a factory Perazzi. If you want that buy a Perazzi. I would and will buy another in 20 ga for my wife and daughters to shoot.

Excellent ShotgunOut of the box, put 100 rounds through it the first day. Very comfortable, easy handling. Almost too light! Haven't shot in a few months, so shoulder was a little sore the next day. May install a limb saver, but really is fine without it. Only drawback to this gun is the hunter orange case it comes with. Franchi use to sell it with a decent breakdown case, but now they supply a fairly rugged, but ugly bright orange breakdown case that will stay in box!

Great hunting gun!I've owned the Franchi Instinct SL 20ga, for about 18 months. I've put approx. 2,000 rounds thru the gun with absolutely not problems.This is a field gun, and very light weight. It's a pleasure to carry all day.
This gun is made in Italy, and the quality is every bit as good as Browning or Beretta. Styling is very plain, but functional. The Franchi uses easily available Benelli/Beretta choke tubes.
I would definitely purchase again!

ExcellentI purchased this for my wife a year ago to shoot with me. I had her shoot my 12ga. Citori and got her hooked with shooting clays but the gun was just a little heavy for her. Recoil wasn’t the problem; it was just the overall weight of the gun. So we went to the gun store and held some of the “lower-end” 20ga. O/U and they didn’t feel right to her. Then we were given this Franchi to hold and never turned back, heck, I even use it now and then to shoot skeet with now. For only weighing 5.5lbs there is almost no kick to it. I used this gun at a youth skeet shooting clinic recently and there were 8/9 year olds shooting it without a problem. Yes, this gun cost more than your “low-end” guns but it is worth it in the end if you’re going to be keeping it a while. I'm 6'2" and my wife is 5'5". Stocks a little short for me but you can compensate for it.
Does this gun come with a case and/or choke tubes?

Can I get regular choke tubes that are flush with the barrels? I’m looking for the Franchi Instinct SL in a 20ga. with the 28inch barrels o/u. I live in Lynnville,IN. What is my best option to purchase this gun. Can’t find one in any local gun shop.
