I'm thinking hard about getting one it would be used dove crows turkey deer and predators looking for opinions from people that have one or have experience with them. Thanks in advance.
 
I was about to get an Affinity, but got a deal on a Beretta A300 Outlander. Franchi is a step above Stoeger in quality and a fraction of the price of Benelli. Great reviews...I wouldn't hesitate if I were you.
 
The Beretta A3 Outlander is a gas operated shotgun. I'd take the inertia Franchi any day of the week. Franchi is owned by Beretta and they put out a great product. You will love the way the Franchi fits and points. You will be able to clean it in less than ten minutes no matter how dirty it is. You will never be able to say that about any gas operated shotgun. Good luck.
 
Thanks I'm strongly considering the franchi I'd like a 3.5 inch as it will be used to deer and turkey hunt I currently have a sx3 I'll probably be getting rid of soon
 
I have a affinity and I take it for my coyote gun over my super black eagle because the thing shoots so darn good. I have shot everything from ducks and geese to yotes with mine and never had a jam o anything negative to say about them. My guns are all tools and its not been handled with velvet gloves. You wont be disappointed with any of the new franchis
 
Yeah my sx3 is about to make a trip back to Winchester it jams quite often which is reason I'm looking at the intensity when I bought sx3 about 2 years ago I really liked both guns but chose the Winchester so once gun gets fixed I'm going to sell and plan on purchasing an intensity which is why I put up post to see how others experience with it has been

If your SX3 is anything like my SX2 was, the problem is probably with your action spring plunger or as some call it your recoil spring plunger. It's the plunger that goes down in the stock of your rifle that ejects the old shell and puts in a new one.If it gets grimey your gun will jam all the time. The problem with it is, they sometimes come from the factory with to much oil, grease or whatever and they collect dirt. They are a pain in the butt to get clean but your gun should work fine after you clean it. I'm like you though, I'd sell that gas operated gun and get a inertia shotgun in a heartbeat. Nowhere near the pain in the rear as a gas shotgun.
 
I pulled the recoil spring out a few weeks ago since I had to clean gun anyway since it got wet it didn't look dirty to me so I wiped it clean and put a few drops of oil on it but I haven't gotten a chance to shoot since, I've had this gun jam on everything from 3 1/2 inch buckshot to 1 1/8th oz birdshot and loads in between it's going to get shot a lot this weekend but I'm wishing I would have bought the franchi as I liked them both about the same
