The Franchi I-12 Limited effortlessly combines art and function. The upland field gun has a satin-nickel receiver, strikingly accented with inlaid gold game birds. The metalwork is complemented by a stock cut from AA-grade walnut that has been hand rubbed for a traditional oil finish. Cut-checkering on the pistol grip and fore-end create an attractive and positive gripping surface. The I-12 Limited is slender and perfectly balanced, and, like all Franchi shotguns, it is lightweight, at close to 7-1/2 pounds.

The Franchi I-12 Standard model shares the slender profile of the I-12 Limited, for comfortable, quick handling. Both models tame recoil with the Twin Shock Absorber™ (TSA) system, a two-part recoil pad with a special gel insert. The pad soaks up recoil energy and spreads the kick over the widest area possible. With TSA, felt recoil is reduced by as much as 44 percent.
Whether you choose the Franchi I-12 Limited or the I-12 Standard, you’ll own a lightweight upland field gun that’s thoroughly reliable and comfortable to shoot.

The I-12 series from Franchi has a shotgun model for nearly any kind of hunting. The I-12 in Max-4 HD™ is an ideal choice as a waterfowl gun. For an all-purpose hunting or turkey gun, select the I-12 in APG HD™. The I-12 with black synthetic stock is an excellent all-around shotgun.

The affordable, lightweight I-12 Sporting auto-loader shotgun combines new technology with the best features of the Franchi tradition. The I-12 Sporting represents the beginning of an innovative line of light, fast, reliable auto-loader shotguns designed specifically for clay shooters.
Weighing only 6-1/2 pounds, the 12-gauge shotgun uses a lightweight aluminum alloy receiver strengthened with steel inserts, allowing for a solid, steel-to-steel lock up. With the light weight of the I-12, you can swing fast to pick up second birds with plenty of time to make the shot. The 30-inch barrel with 10-mm, tapered target rib is ported to control muzzle climb. The barrel uses extended choke tubes that are compatible with Benelli’s Crio™ chokes for easy fitting and removal.
The I-12 shotgun has a WeatherCoat™ walnut stock that is virtually impervious to any kind of weather. The finish complements the wood’s beautiful grain pattern.
The patented Twin Shock Absorber™ (TSA) recoil-reducing system diminishes felt recoil up to 44-percent, making the I-12 Sporting an absolute pleasure to shoot.
