#SundayGunday: Franchi Instinct LX
The Franchi Instinct LX is an Italian-made over-under shotgun designed for the American hunter, blending classic aesthetics with modern performance. It features AA walnut furniture, a Prince of Wales grip, a rounded Schnabel forend, and gloss blued barrels. The steel receiver is case-colored with subtle gold inlays, making it visually distinct. While weighing around seven pounds for the 12-gauge model, it's best suited for lighter upland or dove loads rather than heavy waterfowl rounds. The shotgun boasts 28-inch barrels with a raised vent rib, a red fiber optic front bead, auto ejectors, and a tang-mounted barrel selector safety. It comes with three extended choke tubes (full, modified, improved cylinder) and a fitted hard case, offering significant value at its MSRP.
