I am thinking of buying the Franchi I-12 and wanted to see what anyone who has one thinks. I really like the Benelli SBE 2 and M2 but there is a big price difference between that and the Franchi I-12. Is the Franchi a good gun? how does it compare? How is the recoil? I am looking to buy a 26" barrel 12 gauge. Thanks
