This Falcone is a transitional model that bridges Franchi’s earlier Falconet and later Instinct lines, offering the sturdy feel of a steel-framed gun with updated ergonomics and choke versatility. The blued steel receiver carries tasteful factory scroll engraving that complements the oil-finished walnut stock and forend.
Cold-hammer-forged steel barrels feature a ventilated rib with a single silver front bead for quick target acquisition. Chambers are CIP-proofed for 3-inch 12-gauge loads, and the Mobil-thread system accepts a wide range of aftermarket tubes. A Modified choke sits in the top barrel and an Improved Cylinder in the bottom, giving balanced patterns for upland or sporting use.
Controls are straightforward: a manual tang safety doubles as a barrel selector, and the single selective trigger is gold-colored for easy visual reference. Length of pull measures 14.5 inches, and the checkered walnut stock ends in a soft rubber recoil pad for comfortable shooting.
Italian proof marks confirm origin, while the Benelli USA import mark verifies authorized U.S. distribution. Overall, this Falcone combines dependable mechanics, attractive engraving, and flexible choke options in a well-balanced field gun.
