Hardcore turkey hunters can now rely on the venerable Franchi Affinity platform to hunt elusive toms with the introduction of the new Affinity Turkey shotguns, available in 12- or 20-gauge.

Franchi Affinity Turkey 12-gauge Shotgun


Where the new Affinity Turkey guns shine is their dependable Inertia-Driven System, with fewer parts for ultra-reliability with minimal cleaning and maintenance required. The gun’s trim profile and 24-inch barrel allows for easy, quick maneuvering in the turkey woods.

The stock is covered in Mossy Oak Bottomland camo and features a pistol grip for a sure hold, while an oversized bolt handle and bolt release provide easy operation with gloved hands. The enlarged loading port allows for quick reloading, and the front fiber-optic sight is shrouded with a hood cover for protection. The receiver has been drilled and tapped for the addition of optics.

Franchi Affinity Turkey Buttstock and Pistol Grip


A modular trigger assembly is easily removed from the receiver for cleaning, and two sling attachments deliver hands free transportation. Extended turkey and extra-full turkey chokes are included, as well.

The 12-gauge Affinity Turkey has an MSRP of $1,129, while the 20-gauge has an MSRP of $959. For more information, visit franchiusa.com.

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
