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.

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.
