For 2023, Franchi has sweetened the Sideplate lineup by adding a pair of new sub-gauge models to the family—the Instinct Sideplate 16-Gauge and Instinct Sideplate 28-Gauge.
Sleek lines, a AA-grade walnut stock, fine engraving and gold inlays combine to make the Instinct Sideplate one of the most beautiful over/unders you’ve ever laid eyes on.
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.
You don’t need to dish out thousands of dollars to buy a great crossbow. There are many in the $500 range that are great, and several in the $750 range that are superb.
The Killer Instinct Crossbows Speed 425 crossbow kit includes a Speed 425 crossbow, and a LUMIX Speed Ring Scope boasting HD clarity in low-light conditions, with a 20- to 100-yard adjustable reticle.
