New Guns & Gear for 2021—Franchi Affinity Turkey Elite Shotguns

From Franchi

Hardcore turkey hunters demand the best when going afield and Franchi answered the call for high performance with premium features with the introduction of the Affinity Turkey Elite 3-inch, 20-gauge and 12-gauge shotguns. Franchi listened to input from avid turkey hunters to develop a super reliable, ergonomical turkey gun full of the features preferred to take down a trophy tom.

Packed with features championed by turkey hunters, the Affinity Turkey Elite semi-auto shotguns rely on the proven Inertia-Driven System with fewer parts for ultra reliability with minimal cleaning and maintenance needed. Premium features such as oversized bolt controls and enlarged loading port provide ease-of-use even when hunting with gloved hands.

The shotguns’ 24-inch barrel makes hunting in heavy cover easy while its slim and trim profile provide for quick shouldering when it matters most. Covered in the ever versatile OPTIFADE Subalpine camo, the pistol grip and forend combines with a Midnight Bronze Cerakote receiver and barrel for superior concealment.

Turkey hunting is challenging so accuracy is key when the moment presents itself. The Affinity Turkey Elite shotguns’ precision cone patterning join with the included Rhino extended Turkey and Extra-Full Turkey chokes to give precise and lethal patterning. Ported and extended, the Rhino chokes can be changed quickly for optimized patterns dependent upon changing conditions.

Available in both 12-gauge and 20-gauge, the Franchi Affinity Turkey Elite pairs an adjustable, fiber-optic rear sight with a hooded, fiber-optic front sight for superior sight protection while in the woods. A picatinny rail sits atop the receiver to mount after-market optics for precise aiming. Carrying gear, decoys and shotgun is easy with a sling stud located atop the magazine cap and integrated sling attachment on the buttstock for hands-free carring.
