Franchi, the iconic gun maker, has signed on as a Whitetails Unlimited national sponsor, to help support WTU’s mission of education and conservation. “Franchi is one of the premiere names in the firearms industry, and we’re proud to welcome them to the Whitetails Unlimited family,” said WTU President Jeff Schinkten. “Franchi has 150 years of gun making experience, and today they make outstanding shotguns for every hunting or shooting need, and their line of big-game rifles are simply outstanding.”
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.
