Over/under shotguns remain the benchmark for clay sports and upland fields where balance, quick mounting and reliable extraction are non-negotiable. For shooters who demand refined aesthetics without sacrificing performance, a modern over/under must blend ergonomics, build quality and tuned action into a single package.

FRANCHI INSTINCT SLX

Design and ergonomics

The FRANCHI INSTINCT SLX pairs AA-Grade walnut furniture with traditional floral engraving, gold trigger and inlays for an appearance that complements its handling. The Prince of Wales grip and Schnabel forend are checkered to provide a secure purchase in wet or cold conditions. Those design choices translate to instinctive pointability and comfortable shooting over extended sessions in the field or on sporting clays courses.

Action features shooters rely on

Built with practical, shooter-focused features, the FRANCHI INSTINCT SLX includes auto ejectors for fast follow-up reloads, a barrel select switch for quick pattern choices, and a tang-mounted safety that automatically engages at the break — a key safety feature during carry and transition. The shotgun ships with five extended choke tubes, allowing pattern tailoring for ranges and target types without modifying barrels.
