American Hunter Executive Editor Jon Draper puts the new Franchi Affinity turkey guns through their paces, during a field-day event at Prospect Hall Hunting Club in West Virginia.

Built on the inertia-driven system that harnesses recoil to operate the action, the new Franchi Affinity 3 and 3.5 Elite shotguns are fast, slim and reliable. Stocks are adjustable for drop and cast, and barrels feature a Cerakote finish, lengthened forcing cone for better pattern density and a TrueGlo fiber-optic front sight.

An upgrade to the original model, the new 12-gauge Affinity 3.5 sports design features that increase its appeal to the American hunter. It’s dependable, durable and lightweight, and with an MSRP around $1,000 and a seven-year warranty, it’s a shotgun you won’t hesitate to carry into the swamp.

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

Anybody looking for a semi-auto upland hunting gun would do well to look at the Affinity 3 Elite Upland.
