Over / Under
Looking for a over/under 20ga, was looking at a Franchi Instinct L. Having a hard time finding one, any online places a guy can order from. Or should be looking at other brands, the Browning citori is nice but a couple grand to carry through the bush chasing grouse, I would be scared to scratch it.

Franchis are beautiful guns, prophet river deals with them, so does Calgary Canadian tire on Macleod trail, talk to clay at prophet he may be able to help you out.

Pick what you like, and what fits you, and don't worry about scratching it.

I may have to look into their SXS, english style stock, 28", 3", w/chokes and DT's, CCH. That looks interesting. Wondering if they sub it out or build it themselves though.

The Instinct is an OEM gun, and I would be surprised if the Highlander was built in the Franchi factory as well..
Sadly, they are not the gun they used to be after getting swallowed up by the Conglomerate!
However, the FAIR ISIDE may be worth looking at !
Single trigger however....

I tried out my friends Yildiz, liked it and bought my own. Talk to Clay at Prophet River.

Before choosing a shotgun, be sure to shoulder the gun, to be sure tbat it fits you. A shotgun may look good, and offer good value for the price, but if it doesn't fit you, it;
's not a good choice for you.

Stoeger Cda or Franchi US doesn't have the Esprit (I assume it is a replacement for the Highlander) listed for N. America anyway, only showed on the Eng version of the Euro website. I see PR has some Beretta 486's now, built ST only though. I looked at the Iside, mehhhh.
Looks like it'll be a wait, to see some of the Franchi guns, other than autoloaders, avail up here.

I hunt grouse with a beautiful highlander in case hardened 20g. Love it. Great value ; paid less than 1500 for it new a few years ago. Fits me perfectly.

If you're scared of scratches, get a plastic one. I have a camo cynergy that shoots great. Oddly enough, I've only had the cynergy out to the sporting clays course. Got a beretta silver pigeon in 20g and a cz ringneck in 20 both with 26" barrels for the bush. Couple scratches here and there...but they add character. Just like a new truck...it's only the first scratch that hurts.
