P publius New member Sep 16, 2013 #24 Another vote for the Franchi 48. If anyone has a vent rib barrel to get rid of, let me know. The "bead" on the plain barrels is just goofy.

P pilothunter Moderator Sep 17, 2013 #25 I have a 48AL deluxe 20ga and it is a pleasure to tote & shoot. Might be even nicer to look at with the Circassian walnut . I find it a very able mate to my only other 20ga, a BSS 20 with 26" barrels. Attachments 0918130753.jpg 210.9 KB · Views: 15 0918130754.jpg 212.9 KB · Views: 17 Last edited: Sep 18, 2013
