I bought the Franchi and have had a lot of problems. The first one was sent back for a refund and the second had to be sent in to their gunsmith for repair. It seems to be working for now but I don't trust it and will never own another Franchi. I wish I would have bought the Mossberg!! The Franchi kicks more than expected for a 20 gauge due to the inerita system (which I think is junk) and the Mossberg is lighter as well.
