Well I must have got a bad Affinity I bought one 3 years ago and it was nothing but trouble from the start. Personally I'd buy a pump or double. I upland mostly. All franchi can tell me is to continue feeding it heavy target loads until starts to function properly. by Waddle Whacker » May 23rd, 2018, 9:52 am, Post These tubes are available in … Benelli Super Black Eagle II / M2, Franchi Affinity 3.5, Picatinny Rail 0 MOA (.336" Screws) SKU:40601 From $29.99 Remington 4, 6, 7400, 750, 7600, 7615, Benelli Auto/Super Black Eagle/Vinchi, M2, Weaver 93, Stoeger M3000/M3500 Picatinny Rail 0 MOA SKU:40600 From An Inertia Driven semi-auto, the Affinity 3.5 operates on the same, clean cycling system that made the Benelli Super Black Eagle famous (remember, Benelli is the parent company of Franchi). The internals between the two are similar if not the same but they both may not feel the same. The Franchi is a very good gun and if the Benelli’s price is an issue, the Franchi fits the bill. I have owned one for about 6 years now. The Super Black Eagle would be the Benelli. Rather than directing gas through the gun to cycle the action, the Inertia Driven system harnesses recoil. I love my Benelli, and I just couldn't justify buying the Franchi at $100 less. The 2 piece recoil pads found on the Franchi's are wonderful. Gave me en excuse to get another one when the right one came along. Both guns look extremely similar and owning an older Franchi 612vs I know the Franchi is one hell of a gun. We have found that some models are not drilled and tapped from the factory. I have a Franchi Affinity just not the "3" I'm a Benelli fan but just can't justify the price difference. Why this minor change is called a redesign is anyone's guess, but the several Affinity models I've tested have been solid performers. How soon will you be buying one? FRANCHI AFFINITY VS SBE 3. Does a GMC do the job that much better than a Chevrolet? Post A buddy and I both bought one and they are only reliable if you are shooting magnum or heavy loads. To me, its like buying a used car thats $500 less than a new one. As far as left and right I’ve never had an issue. Franchi Affinity 3 Half the price of its Benelli brethren, the Affinity runs on the same slick inertia system devised in 1903 by Christer Sjörgen. I do know of a man that’s still shooting an SBE 1 after umpteen years. I have several buddies who have/had them and they have all dumped them and moved on to Franchi.

The M2 – A closer Look On The Technical Nitty-Gritties Mark Griffin June 24, 2015 Blogs, Gear Review Leave a comment 21,455 Views The Benelli M2 is an advanced shotgun which is fast and accurate. I have shouldered both, and both of them fit me pretty well. Is there something I'm not considering that fits my parameters? I didn't think it was all that comfortable either once I got to hold it with the trigger lock off. I can also get a franchi affinity … Here's what I've narrowed it down to: Franchi Affinity 3.5 Elite, Benelli M2 Field - Comfortech stock worth it?, used Benelli SBE2 (obviously not Cerakoted). The Affinity 3 semi-automatic shotgun is the ideal coming together of Italian craftsmanship and American passion. The M2 is a great gun, but when you factor in the similarities and price, I would go with the Affinity. Benelli M2 vs Franchi Affinity IMPORTANT: Trade Membership - 6 days remaining. FRANCHI AFFINITY 3.5 By Laura Kovarik. SBE II only if your heart is set in it; I wanted an SBE II but settled on a different gun until I got the SBE II. Keep in mind that semi auto's limit you on loads that can be shot (meaning shell length vs feed problems/ejection problems). I worked on floating birds and it's no big issue now but would be to some and it did force me to change my shooting style as I came from a flat shooting Sears 12 ga, not sure about the affinity in this regard. No, i want to know does the benelli offer any advantages over the franchi? Why this minor change is called a redesign is anyone's guess, but the several Affinity models I've tested have been solid performers. Thanks for indulging a long post. Affinity is Half the money but is SBE worth it? For strictly turkey hunting, I’d take that over the SBE3. Franchi's Affinity is a reboot of the Franchi line of inertia semiautos that bear an eerie resemblance to Benelli inertia semiautos. Went with the benelli SBE 3, is for sons high school graduation present. JavaScript is disabled. I like my Franchi Affinity over the Benelli A300 Autos, Pumps are very good, it all depends what your needs are? Thread starter BeWitty; Start date Nov 21, 2020; Status Not open for further replies. My buddy is ok with it, since he got his for turkey/ducks but mind is only good as a single shot on the skeet field. Ynt: Franchi Affinity ve Benelli M2 Parçalarını Detaylı Karşılaştırma « Yanıtla #31 : 08 Eylül 2016, 15:48:13 » Arkadaşlar kusura bakmayın ama bence benelli m2 ile franchi affinity nin birbiriyle hiç alakası yoktur. Of the 2 I prefer the Franchi. All Benellis shoot high because the Europeans don’t blot out targets with their guns, they swing under the target. Both are great guns. Good afternoon everyone I’m in the the Market for a new shotgun, I’ve done as much research as I feel I can without going crazy. ..Longing for those glory days like the one when he cried run Lindsay Run... Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready. UPLOAD SCHEDULE MONDAY 5PM- WEDNESDAY 5PM- FRIDAY 5:30PM! Heck, if you only want a 3in gun, you can find those benelli montefeltro hunters for 699. From everything I have read and seen the Franchi Affinity and the Benelli M2 are pretty much the same gun. by Jstocks » May 22nd, 2018, 9:41 pm, Post For Benelli SBE/Franchi Affinity Shotguns Weaver Rail Scope Base Compatible with Weaver style rings and Red Dots 8.8" Length Aluminum Matte Black Fits: Benelli Super Black Eagle and Franchi Affinity Shotguns. EZ bolt release lever for Benelli (M1, M2, SBE I, SBE II, Super Sport) / Franchi ( Intensity, Affinity) The bolt release is made of 6061 aluminum and is available in the following colors; Red, Grey, Silver, Gold, Purple, Pink, Green, Blue, Black. The Benelli is just a little more refined and finished. It has probably had somewhere around the neighborhood of 20 cases of shells through it. !WE WILL BE DOING ALL THE POPULAR DUCK LOADS & COMPARING HOW THEY PATTERN AT 30 YARDS! I’ve shot everything from trap loads to 3.5” knock your shoulder out of socket loads in an SBEII and I’m rocking past 10 years now. My buddy has a Franchi Affinity 3 inch and no complaints what so ever other then he said make sure you let bolt shut good. Rating - 0%. I have shouldered both, and both of them fit me pretty well. The Franchi Affinity is hugely overlooked. Been hunting with them for 3 years in the Delta and not a single issue. Re: Help me decide! Franchi has me sold. S B E is good but the Affinity shoots great. I've had mine 7 years or so and love my SBE II, it does shoot high and a little left (wanna fix the left but haven't yet as it is very small). im leaning towards the Franchi Afffinity 3 or 3.5 as of now. I was pretty set on picking up a new Franchi Affinity 3 on the way home from work tonight until I found a new Benelli M2 "American" for the same price. by Hunt4spurs87 » May 22nd, 2018, 3:16 pm, Post I would get an extension and work any other upgrades as needed. I wouldn't mind doing more goose hunting but it's not my main hunting. I love benellis, franchis, and all that they make though. If you put off doing things you want to do in life, all that happens is you get older! I do love the ergonomics of a gun that feels smaller. How soon will you be buying one? We have found that some models are not drilled and tapped from the factory. I know the new shells 3 inch are more then enough. It has been from coast to coast, down to about 12 degrees snowing, saltwater, mud, ridden around in the bottom of the boat with no case, etc. All of that to say I'm buying a 20ga eventually and hear too much good stuff about the Franchi to pony up for a Benelli again. Otherwise I've own two sbe's but if I had to do it over again I'd buy an m2 or go with the franchi. For more shotguns like the Franchi Affinity, check out our features on the Benelli Super Black Eagle, Beretta A300, Browning BPS, & Remington 870! A terrific performing scatter gun. I was pretty set on picking up a new Franchi Affinity 3 on the way home from work tonight until I found a new Benelli M2 "American" for the same price. SBE 2 vs Franchi Intensity by Jwrong83 » Mon Feb 01, 2016 7:24 am Title says it all. For Benelli inertia guns, the action was essentially ignored until the Benelli Ethos and the Benelli SBE III, which added a little spring-loaded ball detent to address the “Benelli Click.” The Ethos retails starting at $1999, the SBE3 (with its tragic POI problems) retails at $1899 and up. The trim forend helps keep your eye close to the bore axis, meaning quicker and more intuitive pointing. I am researching the Franchi Affinity 3 or 3.5 vs the CZ1012 which is only 3 inch. Comment. Yet some folks like to roll with a GMC Denali. I like to think I am biased towards Benelli but I keep reading that the SBE III has POI issues yet I know two or three people that own them and say that theirs shoot 60/40. The stock is the main difference. the Benelli Super Black Eagle has been 34 May 2012 sea eider taken with the new and very reli- able Franchi Affinity. A well-done inertia gun assembled at the Benelli facility, it makes the Stoeger models look sad by comparison.
