Features

The Franchi Instinct LX is a right‑hand over/under break‑action 12‑gauge shotgun designed to combine classic styling with dependable field and sporting performance. Chambered for 3‑inch shells, it features a 28‑inch steel barrel set with a vent‑ribbed top and vented barrel design, finished in blued steel for durability and a traditional appearance. The shotgun is equipped with a fiber optic front sight for improved visibility and quick target acquisition, and includes a set of interchangeable chokes (IC, M, F) to tailor shot patterns for a variety of hunting and clay shooting applications. The monobloc receiver design incorporates automatic ejectors for efficient shell removal and is accented with detailed engraving of pheasant and mallard scenes, enhancing both function and visual appeal.

The shotgun is paired with a AA‑grade walnut stock in a Prince of Wales configuration, finished in satin walnut with checkering for improved grip and control. A recoil pad enhances comfort during extended shooting sessions, and the 14.25‑inch length of pull supports a natural shooting position. Operation is managed via an automatic safety with integrated barrel selector, and the shotgun features a gold trigger for a refined feel. Measuring 45 inches in overall length and weighing approximately 7 pounds, the Franchi Instinct LX offers a balanced, responsive platform that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern reliability for upland hunting, sporting clays, and field use.
