Title: Franchi Affinity or Stoeger M3020?
Post by: matchbook454 on May 09, 2017, 09:23:06 PM
Looking for a 20ga. turkey gun.  I have an Affinity in 12 ga. that I use for Waterfowl and upland and love it.  Stoeger looks a little easier on the wallet though and I see a lot of guys on here shoot them.  Is the Affinity worth the extra coin?

Well, I have an Affinity on the way.  Can't wait to suit it up and play with it.

I have not shot the M3020, but I was very impressed with the Affinity I just purchased.  If you held it firm it cycled everything from wal-mart skeet loads all the way to 3" shells without fail.  Very light, especially compared to my 11-87 12ga, and the internals are
so much simpler than the gas guns.

I'm sure that both are excellent guns but I own a 3020 and can speak only of it ,
I used mine this past season and it performed flawlessly, and carries and shoots like
it cost a lot more than I paid for it..

Check this out, not much more than a Stoeger.

I've held both and they both felt great.  There's probably more posted patterns on the affinity vs the 3020 so it may take u less work to pattern.  Post a pic

Both are fine guns.  I would go hold both see if that helps.  If not I would go with what fits in your budget the best.    They the same choke and barrel bore so pattern performance should be about the same.
