Hi all, I know many of you have extensive experience with a variety of shotguns and I wanted to seek some feedback. I'm wanting to get a new Over/Under shotgun in a 16 gauge for bird hunting and clays. I currently shoot an older Belgian made Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen but would like an O/U also. I like Beretta O/U's but they aren't making a 16 gauge in the Silver Pigeon so looking at other options. Browning has the low end Citori Hunter model in 16 gauge but I've also been looking at a Franchi Instinct O/U and wondering if anyone has any experience with Franchi's and what you think of them? I've never owned a Franchi shotgun of any kind but do have a couple of Benelli semi autos which I really like. I've looked at the Franchi's in 12 and 20 gauge and they seem lightweight and point nicely, but local gun store would have to order a 16 gauge or I see them on Gunbroker. Also any opinion on Rizzini or F.A.I.R o/u shotguns?
What opinions do you have about Franchi Instinct O?U's? Thanks
