Franchi has taken our already exceptional Affinity 3 and tweaked a few things to solidify its class-dominating performance. We gave it a slimmer profile with enhanced ergonomics to deliver amazing instinctive pointability and swing-through balance. New checkering on the grip and forend offer improved grasp in slick conditions, and a larger trigger guard opening makes shooting with gloves easier. We added a new two-piece shell latch to improve loading and unloading characteristics, and a new bolt-release button is easier to find and deploy with gloves or in low light. Two things we didn't touch were the splendid Italian craftsmanship and the famously durable, reliable and fast-shooting inertia-driven action.
