Built for upland bird work and light field duty, this Franchi Falconet brings classic Italian over/under balance in a sweet-shooting 20 gauge package. The 26" vent rib barrels, 3" chambers, and fixed Improved Cylinder / Modified choke pairing make it a sharp choice for quail, pheasant, grouse, preserve birds, and fast-moving field targets.

The 26" barrel set gives this Falconet that balanced field-gun feel—quick enough to snap onto flushing birds, but steady enough to keep the swing clean through crossing shots. In 20 gauge, recoil stays friendly, making this a comfortable all-day carry gun with plenty of authority.

Franchi’s Italian boxlock over/under design keeps things clean, simple, and reliable, with a tang safety, single selective trigger, and a handsome engraved alloy receiver. The walnut furniture shows classic field character, with noted minor cosmetic dings under the buttstock, while the overall presentation remains strong.

The 3" chamber gives this 20 gauge room for standard 2.75" field loads as well as heavier 3" hunting loads. The Improved Cylinder barrel is right at home around 25–30 yards, while the Modified barrel stretches performance into the 30–40 yard zone for longer flushing shots.

The Franchi Falconet has earned its place as a slick, lightweight Italian over/under with real field credibility. With 20 gauge versatility, fixed IC/MOD chokes, Stoeger import markings, and tasteful receiver engraving, this one has the right look, the right handling, and the right pedigree.
