Bejay:

Opinons are nice but back up is better. You should do the research and document with facts. And, in fact you are quite wrong.

Review the facts below. The Franchi resale market is well and alive compared to Stoeger 2000. Below are auctions that have closed with sales of Franchi I-12, Franchi AL 48 and Stoeger 2000.

In fact, with my quick 15 minute excercise I could only find one "2000" for sale on the used market.

There are many conclusions that could be made. One is with a limited number of Stoeger 2000's on the used market, they should go for a premium due to scarcity. That is of course, there is a market for a used Stoeger.

In summary, each of the Franchi guns goes for a premium, in the range of 25-percent to 60-percent when compared to the cost of the used Stoeger 2000.

My personal belief is that you are anti-Franchi and more of a Stoeger guy. That is OK and I have no problem with that but, dude, back it up with facts.

In full disclosure, I own none of the guns discussed in this post.
