Saw a NIB Franchi Alcione Titanium Over/Under today. I had decided that I was going to buy a Ruger Red Label, but the Franchi might get the nod instead. Are they good guns? Any opinions?? They are selling for about $1000-1100.

    Get a model 48 if your interested in a franchi. Unless you want an over/under. They do kick a little when unported or using unported tubes because they are so light. I loved the ones that I shot. (they all had there barrels ported). I don't know about the price though. You might want to get a price check.
