I've got a 20 gauge and last year I put it through the paces through dove season and then drug it through mud and ice during duck season and it never once missed a beat. I also never cleaned it during all that time. I absolutely love mine and never even picked up my 12 gauge Beretta last season
I don’t have one but two of the guys I regularly duck hunt with do. We’ve been hunting hard in coastal marshes for 4-5 years and the Franchi guns have performed just as well as my Benelli (because Benelli makes them).
Note: if you get the 3.5 in (which I think you should) and it isn’t cycling 7/8 oz loads at the skeet range, just feed it some 1 1/8 oz and it will be just fine until it is well-broken-in.
I’ve been a benelli guy for a long time and do have an M2. But I need one more for ducks and I like the feel of them and price point seemed really good.
Went back and looked at it again had a little of the camo finish worn on one side of the receiver but no rust. Got them to $438otd. Just put on layaway.
