Over/under shotguns are where tradition meets precision—designed for shooters who demand both refined aesthetics and dependable performance in the field or at the range. The right over/under balances handling, sighting, and mechanical reliability while reflecting a level of craftsmanship that enhances the shooting experience.

FRANCHI INSTINCT SLX blends classic styling with competition-ready features. The Prince of Wales grip and Schnabel forend are crafted from AA-Grade satin walnut with elegant checkering for a secure hold in any weather. Traditional floral engraving and gold trigger and inlays give the FRANCHI INSTINCT SLX a deluxe appearance, while practical features like auto ejectors, a barrel select switch, and a tang-mounted safety make it a serious tool for shooters.

Design and Ergonomics

The Prince of Wales grip promotes natural hand placement and recoil control, a benefit for extended clays sessions or upland hunting. The Schnabel forend aids pointability and provides a confident purchase for quick mounts. AA-Grade satin walnut combined with crisp checkering adds durability and tactile feedback without sacrificing the refined look buyers expect at this price point.

Luxury Details, Real-World Benefits

Floral engraving and gold accents are more than ornamentation—they reflect attention to fit and finish that often correlates with tighter tolerances and smoother action. For shooters who appreciate both form and function, these elements elevate the shooting experience.
