The Destino side-by-side shotgun for 2008 has a silver-sided receiver with gold-embellished game scenes gracing both sides. On the bottom tang of the European straight-style grip, “1 of 250” is engraved in gold, attesting to the Destino’s limited production and availability.

The beautiful and graceful stock of this upland field gun is cut from AAA-select-grade walnut and is hand oil-finished to enhance the natural figure and beauty of the wood. A traditional, checkered wood buttplate and fitted rubber butt pad come with each gun.

The receiver is CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machined from billet steel for maximum strength and integrity. The machining provides extremely close tolerances and longer life for the action.

The Destino features a single, selectable trigger, automatic safety and extractors. In a merger of tradition and technology that maintains all the best features, the Destino represents the beginning of an innovative line of side-by-side Franchi shotguns.
