The modern waterfowler and field shooter wants a shotgun that balances weight, handling and reliable function in adverse weather. The Franchi Affinity platform refines those traits into a semi-automatic that’s built to swing true and keep going when conditions turn foul.

FRANCHI AFFINITY 3 CERAKOTE

Design and field-proven features

The FRANCHI AFFINITY 3 CERAKOTE is purpose-built for waterfowl and tough-weather use. Built around a 12GA, 3″ chamber, the semi-auto platform accepts a range of loads while delivering consistent ejection and cycling thanks to its dependable inertia-driven action. A 4-round magazine tube keeps weight down and balance forward for an easy swing over decoys.

Cerakote finish and weather resistance

The Cerakote-treated metalwork resists rain, snow and ice, so wet conditions won’t compromise function or finish. For hunters who spend long sits in blinds, that protective coating is a practical advantage that outlasts seasonal abuse.

Recoil mitigation and ergonomics

Evolved Ergonom-x stock shaping combined with TSA recoil pads reduces felt recoil by up to 50 percent, making the FRANCHI AFFINITY 3 CERAKOTE comfortable on long mornings and easier to recover for follow-up shots. The Omni stock adjustable fit lets you tailor drop and cast to individual shooters, improving consistency for different body types and layering choices.

Controls and handling

Oversized bolt controls and a beveled loading port make operation simple even with thick gloves on. The front fiber optic red bar sight provides a clear, fast reference for moving targets while the drop-in choke set—IM, M, F—gives patterning flexibility for decoys, marsh edges, or open-water shots.
