Okay, another gun and another plead for reviews. I have shot this gun, but only a few times. It really feels like the M2/SBE 2 and is definitely better quality/feel than the Stoeger line.
Anyone shot this, own this or even the Affinity? Give you thoughts.
Thanks

Haven't shot a Intensity, but had a I-12. It sucks but could be worse, like shooting a nova pump...
the thing about baiting is, even a rookie hunter could have a 170 bird season if they bait holes

They are on order, but in the mean time......we should review all the popular guns and give our insight for the new generation of duck hunters. Lots of gun choices out there.

Drew, if you don't shoot a 870 than you are just a yellow toothed back woods piece of trash...

If you need your shoulder beat to sausage the old A5 is an excellent choice! I have one, but never duck hunt with it any more.

If you need your shoulder beat to sausage the old A5 is an excellent choice! I have one, but never duck hunt with it any more. The old one I shot didn't beat my shoulder, it had a gas leak by the trigger and everytime you shot it felt like sticking your finger In a wall plug.

I bought a Franchi Affinity this year to give it a try, I have shot about 2 cases of duck loads thru it so far, very light weight gun, I love it so far, I have not got any of my other guns out this year since I bought it.

I also bought a Affinity this year, I have shot everything from cheap Rio target loads to 3 inch duck loads. I have not found anything it wont shoot so far. I went to buy the new A5 because that's all I have hunted with for 40 years. After shouldering the Affinity it felt so much better than the New A5s I had to try it. Not to mention it was half the price. The guy at the gun shop spent 30 minutes trying to talk me out of buying the Affinity but I bought it anyway. So for I have been really impressed with this gun.
There are lot's of people on here that will tell you what gun you should buy. My only advise to you is buy the gun that fits you best and you will be able to shoot with confidence. Guns are like pickups everybody has an opinion to share.
