IN 12 GA?? THANKS I just went to the Franchi website and I see a 12 ga Field gun offered but no 20 ga. I think you buy the 12 ga and get the optional 20 ga barrels. I see the Alcione Titanium offered in 20 ga and a 12 ga barrel offered as an option but the Titanium might be a bit light to shoot a lot of Sporting Clay targets with. Check out their web site and check the specifications. Why not buy the Sporting gun and buy the optional 20 ga tubes?

My son and I use it for clays. We love it, we also hunt with it. I do not have 20 ga bbl for it. This gun seems to be worth every cent we payed. We were torn between it and a browing after shooting both there was no question. I have owned both Franchi and Browings since 1968. We love them both, but when we go hunting or shooting clays we laugh because the Franchis are always chosen.
