veloce 20 gauge

[bfishj]

Hey guys I just bought a Franchi Veloce 20 gauge ducks/unlimited o/u for 1000 shipped. Is this a good deal? I was looking for a light, fast quail gun. Will post some pics when I get it.

Welcome aboard,B. The Veloce has gotten some good ink in the magazines, but I've not seen any in action. Go shoot it and write a T&E. Thanks....

Thanks Dave: I have been messing around on the rimfire board for awhile and just found this site this morning. Very cool, look forward to trading some information.

Pretty gun.

Franchi makes good stuff. Go shoot some birds and let us know it this works for you.

Note, the alloy receiver makes this a bit on the light side. Keep the loads light too, especially the first ones you shoot out of it.
