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.

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.

The new bolt-action Model 220 Turkey shotgun features a blued, 22-inch carbon steel barrel, Savage’s AccuFit adjustable stock system, a user-adjustable trigger pull weight and a detachable two-round box magazine.
