Franchi 912 vs Winchester SX2

[300 RUM]

I went to lay away a SX2 today and the guy asked me if I had looked at a Franchi 912. I had not seen one before and I had only heard of them on the web. I dont know anyone who has one.

He said they were both great guns but the Franchi used the rotating bolt like the Benneli/ Beretta, has an adjustable gas system and an adjustable shims in the stock. He said those things gave the Franchi a little advantage. The SX2 is $700 in black composite the Franchi is about $760 in camo. I like the feel of both. The action on the Franchi looks a lot better finished very smooth no rough spots. The SX2 you can see machine marks and what not in the reciever and the action feels rougher.

He is holding both of them until Monday then I have to choose one.

Any commemts or recommendations?
