The name “Renaissance Elite” is also engraved on each side of the receiver, reinforcing the model’s prestigious identity. Further embellishments include scrollwork on the bottom of the receiver with the gold-inlaid “Franchi” name prominently displayed, as well as additional scroll artwork and gold accents on the upper tang and trigger guard, adding to the firearm's overall luxury and aesthetic coherence. The shotgun is equipped with a 27 1/2-inch ventilated rib barrel, designed to improve heat dissipation and target acquisition. It comes with interchangeable choke tubes, which offer flexibility for different shooting scenarios. The barrels are finished in a deep, rich blue that contrasts beautifully with the nickel-plated receiver, enhancing the firearm’s visual appeal. For aiming, the Renaissance Elite is fitted with a white bead front sight, providing a classic and effective point of reference for quick target alignment. The stock and forearm are crafted from AA-grade walnut, known for its rich grain patterns and strength.
Both the buttstock and the forearm are adorned with cut checkering, which provides a secure grip and adds to the refined presentation of the gun. The stock’s design balances ergonomics with aesthetic grace, complementing the shotgun’s overall elite character. In sum, the Franchi Renaissance Elite is not only a highly functional and versatile firearm but also a collector-grade piece, embodying traditional gun-making artistry and modern performance. It stands out as a superb choice for the discerning sportsman or enthusiast who appreciates fine detail, mechanical precision, and timeless elegance in their firearms.
