johnphilip Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 First question i would ask is, have you held one , if so did it feel right . If so then look further into it . There will be reviews good and bad , i had the Affinity and loved it . The first time i brought it up to my shoulder , wow it felt so right , thats what first sold me on it . The only problem for me was it shot high . Even after trying all the shims , i could not get it right. But i loved the gun , so i made my own shim , and it worked , kept it for a while . The only reason i sold it was i do clays more these days , and hatted bending down to pick up the cartridges , here is a review , over to you . www.americanhunter.org/articles/2015/8/1/hardware-franchi-intensity/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to look at the intensity the sx3 and the sx4. Thanks for the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Good good . I think , how it feels and handle is the best way to go . I have held some very expensive guns and thought "na" lovely wood and engravings , but it does not feel right . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 What’s the difference between the intensity and the affinity ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimo22 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I have had the Affinity for a couple of years and really pleased with it , put a lot of shells through it with no trouble at all. Couple of friends have now also brought them after trying mine. If the Intensity is anywhere as good you will be OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 So basically one is a M2 and the other a SBE for less money. Sound like good buys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
