Franchi, the iconic gun maker, is continuing as a Whitetails Unlimited national sponsor, to help support WTU's mission of education and conservation. "We're proud that Franchi is continuing as a Whitetails Unlimited national sponsor," said WTU President Jeff Schinkten. "Franchi has been one of the premiere names in the firearms industry for more than 150 years, continuing today with their outstanding line of big-game rifles and exceptional shotguns for every hunting or shooting need."

Franchi started manufacturing firearms in Brescia, Italy in 1868, when gun making was done by hand and local guilds closely guarded their techniques. They soon developed a reputation for outstanding craftsmanship, which continues today. Franchi has always provided quality products at the cutting edge of technology, and that innovation is a central part of their operating philosophy. As they innovated with materials, design, technology, and manufacturing techniques they have always placed emphasis on craftsmanship, and it shows in their product line.
