The 48 is an upland hunter's dream come true. I have both the Remington and the 48. That Remington is a fine shooter, but it gets awful heavy during an afternoon walk through the uplands. Both are fine shooters. If most of your shooting is still, then the Remington. If you walk and hunt, then I recommend the Franchi. The 48, IMO, is the last great gun made by Franchi. You can tote that Franchi all day without getting tired. The Remington will get mighty heavy on a long walk.
Take your pick. Both are mighty fine guns.
