Franchi Momentum, Quick Rundown

[@donbenson5292]

Gosh CD I missed this. I bought one in 350 Legend because of barrel length. I was impressed with the barrel and trigger. I trweeked and tweeked until it was grouping between 1 to 2 inches at 200yrds. Because of the mag length and really alot of load development I am running phenomenal velocities approaching 308 velocities with 165 flextips. My barrel to reciever has a traidution lug on the barrel but still has the cut outs unused though like you have. I like it so much I bought another so others in my family can hunt straight wall required in Ohio with me. The second one the barrel was a piece of doodooo... Great video.

That’s a sharp little rifle. I’m a fan of short bolt lifts because I like scopes with large eye boxes due to their brightness. CD my friend, it’s been cabin fever up in Alberta too. Almost 10 days of -39°F with wind chills down to -51°F. That’s Fahrenheit!! I saved you the Celsius math. Has me dreaming about shooting summer prairie dogs with you. Hell Im gonna go watch a couple of those vids now to feel better. Keep on keeping on, you’re a good man.

[@lockherup2339]

Cool, can't wait to see how it shoots.

[@cavedweller1959]

You and me both! The weather is to be around zero for a couple weeks, so it will be a while.

[@denniskrenek1805]

Franchi is a branch off of benelli so it seems fitting that with the release of the benelli lupo, franchi would release their own rifle. Should be very interesting to see how they stack up to one another as there is a considerable price difference.

[@pwrbomb1970]

Momentum was released a year or more before the Lopo.

[@luvtahandload7692]

You will like Franchi quality, CD. I have a 16ga Instinct SL over/under. Love the hell out of it! Looking forward to seeing how that Momentum shoots those cast bullets.

[@JohnDoeEagle1]

I have many Berettas and a rare Benelli M3 select fire semi/pump 12 gauge. My favorite Beretta pistols are the M9/92FS and 950 BS Jetfire and 21A Bobcat tip up barrels. Also have a 87 Cheetah in .22 LR.

[@dirtpile]

Got one in .243 a couple weeks ago but haven't shot it yet ... seems to get great reviews Saving my pennies to get a suppressor for it.

[@mattgohlke8216]

Where can you get a suppressor for it ?

[@brianbritton3175]

I just picked up a French momentum and am having a heck of a time getting the bolt all the way in. The guy at the store had it in then pulled it out and put everything in the box. Any suggestions?

[@cavedweller1959]

Without seeing it, I would guess the bolt is no longer cocked. Try turning the very back of the bolt clockwise about 1/8th of a turn. When you put the bolt in the rifle, this very back of the bolt should be straight up & down, NEVER 60 or 90 deg off. Nothin wrong with the rifle, it just happens.

[@gascheck8151]

The action bolts. Are they not metric?? 4mm?? What is the proper torque pressure in inch pounds??

[@nickheadd3390]

Ever find out?

[@mtudb24huskies50]

Did you ever adjust the trigger weight and if you did, can you post a video? Got the momentum Elite Varmint rifle and I'd like to adjust it to the lightest setting but the manual Franchi sends is pretty useless

[@cavedweller1959]

Sorry, I never did anything with the trigger.

[@mikesvacation]

Can you give me a few hints about how to get the bolt back in ,,, I’m having some trouble. Thank you

[@geraldlocklear4373]

Have you got this straightened out yet?

[@mikesvacation]

@@geraldlocklear4373 yes thank you, i fiddled with it for a little bit and then realized i hd the bolt cocked or uncocked when trying to return it, i forget which but it finally went in just fine. 👍

[@MF-ml8eh]

Does this rifle have a pressed in barrel? They put no thought into this, Neither did Mauser with their M18. Bergara got it right. Franchi and Mauser should have had threaded barrels, Remington lugs and Remington Footprints.

[@cavedweller1959]

Sounds like you should have just bough a Remington.

[@BrianHughesCEO]

Awesome video, thanks for the breakdown!

[@billyhill4937]

Hi and Thanks for the review. I am thinking of getting a new Franchi " Elite " in .308 . How was the accuracy ? I want to set up a dedicated long range target rifle and I was thinking of getting either this rifle or a Tikka . The Franchi Elite seems to have a lot of good features for a budget priced rifle.

[@mattgohlke8216]

The Franchi is a better value $$$

[@josemarquesedinismarques1911]

Boas tardes coloquei um supressor a munição pica o cano podera ser do cano ou supressor com defeito

[@rosswitte]

Thank you!

[@jeffryrichardson9105]

Beautiful!👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸

[@wilbanksdv]

5/8" X 20?

[@cavedweller1959]

5/8x24

[@neilharris4462]

Be mindful that the military 308 brass (7.62x51) is a fair bit thicker than 308 win brass. If you run the same load in both cases you may have pressure issues in the nato brass. Nice looking rifle.

[@cavedweller1959]

That is why we always separate brass and work loads up for each.

[@rudysroots2789]

Why can’t I click the bell and change the alerts?

[@cavedweller1959]

You suppose it has anything to do with Y-Ts dislike for anything 2A.

[@Theother1089]

Would you prefer this or the M18?

[@cavedweller1959]

I would go with the Mauser, but it is $200 more at full retail.

[@heerkrupp64]

It's good, to have a bit of Momentum.

[@shanegibb997]

Did the trigger have much creep

[@cavedweller1959]

No, very sweet. Think I'll drop it down to 2.5lbs just for target shooting.

[@shanegibb997]

@@cavedweller1959 I'm very interested in buying one , but I'll wait and see how it shoots and hear your thoughts on it.

[@nickheadd3390]

​@cavedweller1959 Did you ever adjust the trigger? Do you know the torque spec for the action screws?

[@danielmoore8538]

Good videos

[@patv1271]

way better than a 700???? nahhh

[@justacentrist4147]

The new 700s are garbage bro. Iv got one in 223 from 2002 it's my target rifle very accurate. Sub MOA at 100 meters with cheap PMC ammo. My buddy liked my rifle so much he bought a new one 2023 production in 223 for his kids the difference was night and day can't get it to shoot MOA at 100 meters even with higher end ammo

[@lescobrandon546]

The magazine on this gun is absolute garbage. Its literally all plastic and it falls out of the mag well and does not stay seated. The 350 legend model.
