Dont think there is enough of a difference between the two to pony up the extra cash...

tell you the truth, I love my M2 20. it just fits me. I havent held the Franchi, but I have seen more than enough sick 40 yard patterns from Franchi owners that I would not hesitate in buying one if I found one at a good deal. TSS with a IndianCreek in a Franchi is just deadly

I wrote last week about the cycling of my new Franchi, for some reason Federal TSS about 1/8" longer than any else, but Apex is the answer. Friend also bought new Franchi and killed one today with 3 beards in Miss.

Love the feel of my M2, but given the choice again I would save hundreds and get the Affinity. Use extra cash for a good stash of TSS! Hardly any difference in the two.

Yep fosho!

Have seen many excellent patterns from the Affinitys and that’s coming from a fellow M2 20ga lover
