This is also posted on the Shotgunning line, but does anyone have any PERSONAL experiences w/ the new Franchi 912 3.5" auto? I know that they are owned by the Berreta/Benelli bunch and have similarities to both (ie. rotating bolt, etc.), but I don't know of anyone that has actually used them, shot them, etc.

Beartrack,
perhaps you could post this question on European hunting forums, could be that it's more popular in europe or better yet Italy being that it's italian made. Just a suggestion.
