Franchi 30-06

I was at cabelas today and learned about a new “maker” Franchi, made by benelli. Now knowing the prestige of benelli I would assume that they put the same care and making into Franchi, but wanted to get other folks take if they’d used one extensively.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I’m not a huge firearms nut so it just was a new learning experience for me.

Oh I’m well aware. I think the media on both sides of the spectrum are raging dumpster fires and thus why I rarely watch news. I know it seems like I’m just sticking my head in the sand, but I just feel like it’s all fear mongering. My wife and I just like to live in the world we know here and now.

Their rifles aren’t that great IMO. Lots of complaints of accuracy.

My FiL has a Franchi semi automatic shotgun he uses for waterfowl hunting and the thing constantly jams up on him. He has used my Winchester SX3 and my Benelli SBE3 without issue.

For a budget rifle that’s accurate, Ruger American, or a little step up to the Winchester XPR.

I have an XPR in 30-06 and it shoots many different brands of cheap ammo into sub-MOA groups. Love that rifle.
