#SundayGunday: Franchi Affinity 3 Elite Upland

by
posted on November 21, 2021
This week, we’re taking a closer look at the Franchi Affinity 3 Upland Elite. A semi-automatic shotgun from a company with a long history in the upland fields, the Affinity 3 is based around an Inertia Driven action, which lends the gun a light and slim profile. On the exterior, the grey Cerakote metalwork, and walnut stock and fore-end give the firearm durability, without sacrificing looks. Learn more about this upland-minded scattergun in the video embedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $1249; franchiusa.com

Review: Winchester 400 Legend

Winchester’s new 400 Legend is a streamlined, mid-sized straight-wall cartridge intended to fill the gap between its wildly popular 350 Legend and the notorious 450 Bushmaster. It is—in our opinion—a masterstroke of genius.
