Franchi's Renaissance steel-reinforced aluminum-alloy action 12-gauge over/under is one of the lightest on the market. Its recoil is softened with Franchi's "Twin Shock-Absorber" TSA gel-filled recoil pad. It's available in 12, 20 and 28 gauges, and three grades, Field, Classic and Elite. For the semi-auto enthusiast Franchi's gas-operate Franchi 720, in 12- or 20-gauge, or the 12-gauge Inertia-Driven I-12 that uses the Benelli operating system are great choices as well.
