I have one on my franchi affinity 20 gauge and I really like it. I also had to modify mine to make it fit but I used the M2 mount. There was another thread a month or so ago and someone mentioned there have been some bad reviews on it holding zero. I have had no issues with mine though

The theme is that the Speed Bead seemed to do fine on the M2's but had problems holding zero on other brands of firearms. Without searching for those threads, the only brand I can remember specifically mentioned as problematic was Browning.

From what I have read, the Benelli M2 mount will not fit the Franch Affinity. hunterturf, that is what I was concerned about. it looks like it would be awful easy for it to get into your hand on the pistol grip part of the stock. My gun doesn't kick all that hard, but in the rush to mash old longbeard's head with some TSS there is no telling where I might be holding onto that stock. "To anger a conservative, lie to him.

I do believe Williams mount is supposed to be tapered to match the receiver of your particular gun. The 336 is tapered for the marlin 336 receiver Originally Posted By: Wiley Coyote Well, the way I see it is there's just too many assholes On a good day there's a bunch of assholes in here.
