I just checked out the Franchi website for the first time and it looks like they have a lot of technology from Beretta and Benelli in their newer guns. The Raptor has the Benelli locking bolt system like I have on my SBE and the gun itself looks like my Beretta 391 Teknys which I love. Difference is that the Franchi is inertia driven and my 391 is gas operated with a recoil reducer in the stock. In fact, the Raptor almost looks like a cross between the Beretta 391 Teknys and the Benelli Sport II.
Some of the older guns look like crap, but the newer ones seem to be pretty nice.
You should see if the Raptor has an adjustable stock, because you will more than likely get it to fit you just right.
At an MSRP of $850, you are probably doing pretty well because you will be able to get it for less than that. Both the Beretta 391 Teknys and Benelli Sport II are well above that in price.
