That's some mighty nice contact paper on a hard wood stock on those Franchi's. Too bad it isn't real wood. Cheap guns can be made anywhere and good ones can be also. Some of those Turkish guns being made today are of excellent quality and some aren't. I owned two Franchi's two years ago. They were so-so on quality and did not compare to my Benelli's in reliability. The Franchi's did not cycle 100% even with new ammo, the Benelli's always cycled. The internal systems were not the same. You do get what you pay for and I'll go back to my statement of "go to a sporting clays shoot and see what they're shooting". You won't see very many, if any, Franchi's or other "B" guns there simply because they aren't reliable enough and they just don't swing as well either. Spend a little extra up front and you'll be satisfied for many years afterwards.
