Kolohemm Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 :)Hello All, I am new to this forum, and don't know a whole lot about shotguns. Currently doing some research, as I wish to purchase an over/under shotgun to be utilized in shooting upland birds in Hawaii. We shoot mostly pheasants and francolins. Wanted something that weighed 6.5 pounds or less, as we do a lot of walking on some rough terrain. Came up with the CZ Ultra light Green for about $750 with a 28 inch barrel, vs the Franchi Instinct L at $1,200 or the SL at $1,450 all 28 inch barrels. Any suggestions, comments, pros vs cons would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumbDuck Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 You usually get what you pay for. The quality on the Franchi guns is a little better than the CZ. Both are functional but if you have the money, you probably won't regret going with the Franchi. The CZ I owned was ok. The Franchi guns I still own are excellent.

remarkable Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Franchi - Italy The SL is very nice when weight is a factor, 7 year warranty, Benelli customer service, very good. Parts quality will show exceptional over time. CZ - Turkey 1 year 5 year on some parts, nice offering from the Value Over/Under segment.

billistone1 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 CZ USA and Franchi are both renowned firearms manufacturers. CZ USA specializes in high-quality handguns and rifles, while Franchi is known for its reliable and durable shotguns. The choice between the two will depend on individual needs, preferences, and availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
