Scouring over the throngs of archery gear this summer, Assistant Editor Jon Draper came across a name that he wasn’t expecting to see: Cabela's. He knew he had to put it to the test.

Associate Online Editor Paul Rackley got to take a crack at the new Franchi Instinct Over-Under Shotgun at the 2012 Media Day at the Range in Boulder City, Nev.

With its Schnabel fore-end, beautiful AA-Grade satin walnut furniture and engraved color-case-hardened receiver, the new Franchi Instinct LX over/under is a shotgun of class, featuring a vented rib, auto-ejectors, a fiber-optic front sight and smooth handling ergonomics.

The Instinct features an aluminum receiver is fortified via a titanium insert on the breech face and a checkered forearm and Prince of Wales stock.

The Cabela's Instinct Euro HD projects an impressively sharp, bright, high-contrast image, thanks in part to anti-reflection multi-coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces plus HD objective lenses that minimize color fringing. Cabela’s has been branding Meopta optics for many years, and this 8x32 might be its smartest selection yet.

Franchi understands the American hunter, and its new Instinct LX shotgun proves it. It’s good-looking, balances well, handles and functions perfectly, and is affordable.

The new Instinct Sideplate sets itself apart with an elegantly engraved, color-case-hardened sideplate-style steel receiver, providing classical accents to its gold-plated trigger and complementing its rich AA-grade satin-finish walnut stock.
