Are Franchi shotguns reliable?
The Franchi Affinity 3 is a reliable Italian-made shotgun for applications from big game to small at a very competitive price.

Are Franchi and Benelli the same?
That is not unexpected, as Benelli is Franchi’s parent company. If you think of the Benelli as the Cadillac of the line, then Franchis are the Buicks or Oldsmobiles, (that would make the very similar Stoeger semiautos the Chevys if I have my car brands straight).
Is the Benelli 828U worth the money?
CONCLUSION. The 828U is what you would expect from Benelli – a hardworking, lightweight and low-recoil shotgun. Maybe it’s not beautiful in every way, but the ability to adjust this firearm makes it a fine choice for any shooter looking for a workmanlike shotgun to drop more birds.
