Italian tradition and Fine Craftsmanship
Franchi’s first sideplate-style shotgun hearkens back to a time when European gunsmiths crafted the most elegant firearms in the world.

A red fiber-optic front bar on the ventilated rib atop handsome 28-inch glossy blued barrels lets you get on target quickly. Five extended screw-in chokes are included. Shoulder a Franchi Instinct Sideplate to experience its instinctive pointing and smooth swing. You’ll understand why a Franchi just feels right.
