The name Franchi is not new to a side-by-side shotgun as Franchi produced a top-quality side-lock gun called the Imperial Monte Carlo back in the early 20th Century.

For 2007 Franchi has captured again the spirit of fine Italian gun making with its introduction of the Highlander.

Available in both 12- and 20-gauge, the new Highlander features A-Grade oiled walnut stocks with a Prince of Wales grip, a single trigger, ejectors, automatic safety and interchangeable screw-in chokes.

Upland game scenes and scroll engraving grace the metal work to provide a beautiful, yet traditional style of side-by-side shotgun.

The Highlander’s trigger guard and receiver bottom are embellished with fine floral engraving.	The Highlander features an automatic safety and ejectors.
Scroll work highlights finely-engraved upland game scenes adorning the left and right sides of the Highlander’s receiver..
