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.
