Get a closer look at the Franchi Affinity 3 and 3.5, the latest addition to our #SundayGunday series.

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.

This year marks the inaugural offering of Franchi’s Companion Series celebrating the bond between gundog and hunter via detailed engravings on one of the company’s popular shotguns, with the Labrador Retriever featured on the Affinity 3 leading off the pending annual series.

Take our word for it: After using and perhaps abusing all four of these items, we’re sure many hunters would appreciate such gifts, not only when opening the package, but for a long time to come.
