About the Franchi Instinct SLX
The Franchi Instinct SLX is a premium lightweight over-under shotgun combining an aluminum alloy scalloped receiver with AA-grade satin walnut stock and five extended choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F). The upgraded receiver engraving and superior walnut grade distinguish it from the entry-level SL. Available in 12, 20, and 28 gauge with 28" barrels.
