About the Franchi Instinct SL

The Franchi Instinct SL is a lightweight over-under shotgun featuring a scalloped aluminum alloy receiver that reduces weight by over a pound compared to the steel-receiver Instinct L. At just 5.7 lbs in 12 gauge, it's one of the lightest over-unders available. The A-grade satin walnut stock with Prince of Wales grip and cut checkering pairs with the same quality barrels and auto ejectors found across the Instinct lineup. Available in an impressive five gauges: 12, 16, 20, 28, and .410.
