sent the money out this morning for a new Franchi Affinity 26"!  I am actually very fired up about it, i have not shot or owned a 20 gauge since I was a kid. I just go done fully customizing my SBE2 which took me over 3 years of saving to be able to afford and I haven't even got to pattern it yet but I am almost as excited over this gun hahah

Ordered 6 boxes of federal HeavyWeight 7s to use, now just got to decide on a choke. I don't know a ton about 20 gauges so I will be asking lots of help and opinions just a heads up!

Welcome to the fold, my brother. We will help you get your rig set-up in any way that we can.

Congrats on the new 20.  Did the same this year but its mainly for the kids.  I plan on using it some as well though.  I'm wondering, did you ever confirm the rebate on those shells from Federal still applied this year?

No Kat I totally forgot yesterday but will look when I get to work today.

Being new to the 20 myself, congrats.
We finally have some nice weather this week, I hope to shoot mine and have some pattern pics Monday.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

about the best religion can possibly do, is maybe make you a nice person, where as a relationship with Jesus Christ can make you a new creation

My brother has the same gun, you'll love it! He has a sumtoy 562 and shoots the Federal HW #7s. He had great results in busting noggins with that setup.
