Franchi Affinity 3 VS Winchester SX4 | Shotgun Showdown

[@JtotheG317]

Holy cow these are the 2 shotguns I have been considering. This is exactly the comparison I needed.

[@ronevans9277]

So did you decide? I was on the fence with a few as well and grabbed the affinity 3 primarily due to this video. I haven’t shot it a ton but what I have done tells me I made the right decision for me. It just seems super easy to shoot well and felt fantastic.

[@JtotheG317]

@Ron Evans Nice! No I haven't decided. I have an affinity 20ga that I love. But kinda wanted to change it up and get a gas gun for a 12ga. I will probably just pick the one that points best for me.

[@ChickenTendies03]

[@donnyarmstrong9559]

WOW... Almost 3 years ago, I made the decision to move towards a semi-auto shotgun. I have been shooting pumps since mt teenage years. Originally I used a JC Higgins 16 ga with an adjustable choke, loved this gun and it loved me! I eventually switched to a Remington 870, a great & reliable gun, but it & I often times fought each other out in the field. I decided that my budget was up to $1200, so I researched my ass off for several months, watched alot of videos, shouldered many many shotguns at all the various gun shops. My decision ultimately narrowed down to the Affinity 3 as well! The fit, the ease of maintenance, the reliability (made by Benelli), all of this at a price that was agreeable to me, $950 out the door. My primary use is for dove & quail hunting, with an occasional duck hunting trip, so I opted for the 26" barrel. My first time dove hunting with it, I made the limit, 15, in less than a box of shells. Never had I done that with the 870! I always had my vest loaded with 2 boxes of shells because I needed that many to limit out without heading back to the truck! With 65 turns around the sun under my belt, this will be my last shotgun and I am glad to see that you too have shown that this was an excellent choice to make! Living my best La Vida Loca here in south eastern Arizona

[@cbrochu22]

I have both of these shotguns and I love both of them. I personally use the Franchi the most, that’s mostly because that gun just feels like an extension of my arm, fits me perfectly. The SX4 I have to make sure my head is down a little more. I’ve never had either jam period. SX4 is a little softer shooting but I like that the franchi is a little easier to clean. To be honest you can’t go wrong with either gun. Just pick the one you like the look and feel of better

[@lancevoorhees7318]

We’re they the same, 3 1/2 “ magnums?

[@thegamer0946]

I appreciate this

[@lusitanooutdoorchannel680]

I've always loved Franchi shotguns. As a matter of fact, Franchi shotguns were used by my father and my grandfather for almost 40 years. My father got a 12 gauge 48-AL in 1973, and then an Alcione over and under in '75, while serving in the Portuguese Army. My father then bought a Franchi Prestige for my grandfather for Christmas in 1986 and he shot thousands upon thousands of rounds with that gun, until he passed away. Today, I hunt with my grandfather's Franchi Prestige and also picked up an unused Franchi 48-AL Hunter Deluxe 12 gauge. Never had any problems with those guns. And after seeing this video, I might end up buying an Affinity 3.

[@beratiustun4735]

Franchı black magic and Franchı afnty 3 👍🏻

[@dougbever8733]

And just a thought from an engineering point of view: you’re doing quite a few side by side gun reviews & one of the criteria points is “perceived recoil”. When I was 9yrs old my brother let me shoot his single shot 10ga with 3.5” 00Buckshot, so I’m a horrible judge of recoil. But you could get a scale with a compression style load cell and fire each shotgun with the stock presses against the platter to give you an true numerical reading of the actual shock delivered to the shoulder.

[@dukebeach1]

Agree. Recoil is so subjective and it really depends on mounting position, degree of muscle and fat on your pectoralis etc. give it an objective number.

[@WillBlack-vs7ti]

I just picked up a brand new Affinity about 4 hours before I found this video, it was an extremely validating watch lol. Loving your content overall, greatly appreciate all the info and tips, as a new shooter it's been very helpful. Thanks.

[@johnwilmott8063]

Thanks for the comparison demo. I picked up a new sx4 recently, had a maxus previously, i didnt know much about the affinity. The flat dark earth version sx4 i bought [in Europe] is drilled and tapped. I only discovered your channel recently, and i always enjoy your demonstrations.

[@ICECOLDOUTDOORS]

I love my SX3 and the SX4, they both feel so natural to me and check all the boxes for me. With that being said the Franchi feels so damn good, has a good reputation and the ease of cleaning on the inertia system, it will most likely be my next shotgun.

[@gatorpulido7065]

If youre still on the fence, he has another video comparing these 2, but the franchi is the ultima, After thousands of rounds you wont change my mind about the Sx4, just a superb shotgun 👌, i have it in 12 and the affinty in 20 gauge. I recommend going that route to not shell out 2k+ if you want both lol

[@lancevoorhees7318]

Hi Gator, I have both too, I love my SX4 31/2, but my Affinity 20 gauge is so light, I love shooting it and carrying it is a dream! They are both great guns! Loved your input, I’ve killed ducks and geese with both, pheasants and chukars with both! 👍

[@dougbever8733]

I appreciate you honesty. It would be impossible to not have a built in bias for Winchester because of the working relationship you have with the SX4; so kudos for not allowing that penchant to cloud your results. Great review!

[@echosierra9990]

One thing you didn’t mention, is that the Franchi comes with stock shims to adjust the drop and cast of the shotgun

[@raykettel1837]

The SX-3 included shims but the SX-4 does not. I bought the SX-4 due to recommendation by this channel and elsewhere. Soft recoil was a high priority along with low cost. I got the SX-4 from KYGunCo for $700 after rebate and FFL fee. I assumed that I could buy SX-4 shims if needed but all I found was one owner providing details on how to modify SX-3 shims so they may fit an SX-4. II can understand Winchester/Browning not wanting to include the shims if most owners do not use or value them so Browning may keep the cost just a little lower but it surprised me that they would not offer them separately.

[@gusjames4310]

Just got my new SX4. Franchi Affinity is gonna be next in to my shotguns collection. Thanks Steve!

[@Ranger.Vt.]

I have the exact same Affinity 3. Runs flawless. I don’t know why the factories of a lot of these inertia driven shotguns don’t upgrade the recoil pads. That SX4 has a recoil pad that’s twice as thick. No reason why they couldn’t.

[@woodchuker570]

Because it would change the function of the :inertia principal ..Do the math.

[@itsmags7809]

I have both of these guns and honestly I give the overall edge to the sx4 the only downside to the Franchi is the slightly longer length to pull and I have trouble feeding shells into the tube

[@GregorsOutdoors]

My BIL is a big Franchi guy. He's talked them up for years and I finally broke down and bought a 20g. I'll have to say I must agree with everything you and he has to say about the Franchi Affinity 3. And in my case, I'm comparing to Rem 1100, Ben M2, Ber 390, and a Retay MM. Not too shabby Franchi! I'm now shooting my limits in doves again. Always enjoy your scorecards after the fact.

[@hissingoose]

Actually cross shopped the Compact versions of these guns for my wife; ended up with the franchi because it came with shims and an even shorter LoP, so was able to have a much better fit for her.

[@bigticket5869]

Nice video, keep up the good work. A few additional points worth noting: 1) BOTH come in Left-hand models. 2) The triggers both have a safety at the rear of the trigger. Some like, some don't 3) Franchi, part of Benelli, uses the more complicated inertia system in the Affinity , identical to the Stoeger. The Benelli models use a simpler inertia system. 4) What was the trigger pull in pounds? 5) What about customer service? Benelli has been very good for me in the past. Very responsive. How is Winchester to deal with? 6) Where are these made? Turkey?

[@thegreenheadfather]

franchi is made in italy

[@nukkumatti9587]

I just looked at an sx3, it was made in belgium, assembled in portugal

[@wingsoverglades]

The only difference between the Benelli inertia system and the Franchi/Stoeger inertia system is that the Benelli bolt return spring is in the buttstock and Franchi's system is around the magazine tube. If you duck hunt deep water eventually you will get the spring in the buttstock wet. Spring around the magazine is a lot easier to get to.

[@RockinRack]

Just ordered the sx4... its in all these comparisons for a reason so figured i cant go wrong. There was a few others i was looking at but if im being honest the look of the sx4 with the woodland camo sold me on it haha. Its my style 100%

[@dads2006gt]

I love my sx4, but I prefer my buddy’s Franchi Affinity. It pointed and felt more natural, recoil was more than the sx4 but less than the rest of the guns we were shooting. I think I’m going to get one...

[@robjones1520]

I had an Affinity one. I didn't like the slightly raised rib. I now have an sx4 , I love it.

[@dylanW50]

I was in the market for a shotgun recently, both of these guns were finalists, but it ended up coming down to the length of pull. The length of pull is 1/8th longer on the Franchi, and that ended up being a deal breaker because I couldn’t reach the trigger as good in my natural shooting position. I’m a short and small guy. I have been in love with my SX4 since I bought it. I don’t think you can go wrong with either of these guns.

Good to know that bolt release was the only funny looking part and ended up going sx4 for the price. But just found an affinity 3 for basically the same price and was wondering if I messed up. Now I feel better about going sx4 lol

[@edsai2041]

Got the Franchi Affinity 3 compact 20ga for a new youth shooter over the SX4. So far it's been a huge mistake for a new shooter. The recoil seems to be as much as my SX3 12ga which is unpleasant for new shooters. It's also having trouble cycling even with it shouldered up well. It'll be replaced by an SX4 when the compact field's come back in stock.

[@josephmoravec8146]

My sister shoots it and the most annoying part is the mag tube. Tried to eat my thumb and hers every time especially with gloves. Good gun overall though. Wouldn’t cycle light loads until we broke it in.

[@raykettel1837]

I also read that the reduced recoil loads available for 12 gauge can make the recoil as light as a 20 gauge. My only comparison with my SX4 is I recently compared it to a friends 30+ year old 20 gauge Remington 1100 that does not have a soft rubber butt pad. We where using #7.5 7/8 oz 20 gauge along with #8 1 oz 12 gauge loads. We both felt the recoil was about the same with both shotguns.

[@edsai2041]

@@josephmoravec8146 I didn’t have issues with the mag tube. I took it out with a group of people last weekend and even the person who has a 12ga Affinity 3 said the 20ga compact was garbage. He said the recoil was as bad or worse than his full size 12ga. People said to add lead weight and swap out the butt pad but I’m going to pass on that. The SX4 compact came in but we have yet to take it out. Hopefully it’s a much better experience for the kiddo.

[@bb5242]

I have had the Franchi for about 9 months. Had a lot of reliability issues due to an out od spec action bar. I got it running right, but I really think for the price, the quality isn't there on the Franchi. They do not QA the guns enough. The Winchester SX4 is what I should have bought. I recently got my son an SXP trap and it's remarkably good. Hate to say it, but the SXP is better than an 870. So I bet the SX4 is also great.

[@josephmoravec8146]

I ended up with the same sx4 1k rounds out of the box on sporting clays and no issues. After I cleaned it I had some issues because I left it too dry as far as I can tell. None since heavier lubing. I did bend my vent rib on my small aluminum boat seat while chasing a diver around though but I imagine that was a fluke fall.

[@raykettel1837]

I watched one or two KZbin channel reviews of the SX4 by hunters who also said they bent the rib. So it may be a fluke it has happened to others. The other negative I read is that some have lost the charging handle while firing the shotgun. I decided that since I bought the matte black version that has a small red strip on the receiver that I would paint the charging handle and the SX4 on the stock a matching red. At $30 plus shipping for a new OEM handle I decided to paint it a color that I have a chance of finding on the ground.

[@hunterthompson8403]

there has to be a reason he compares so many shotguns to the SX4, on the fence between these 2 aswell as the Remington V3 pro, there all right around the same price, would love to see comparison and a "if i could only have one" that bronze finish on the Franchi is so damn nice...

As a franchi owner I would say without watching the SX4 will be faster as will a benelli the franchi affinity’s hammer and trigger are it’s down side compared to say a benelli trigger i’ve swopped them about and you can notice it when you fit a benelli trigger group in a franchi the SX4 was my other choice when buying a franchi but they just don’t have the warranty that you get with franchi or the lack of problems you get with inertia guns.

Interesting that you have feed issues. I shot a new SX4 all fall (2022) for ducks. I shot a lot of shells and never had an issue. My friend has a SBE. It had failure to eject issues 3 times. I shot some #4s during teal season, but #2s after that. Hope your problem gets straightened out. If not, I'd send it to Winchester for a check up.
