Accokeek, MD – Franchi, a leader in precision firearms known for exceptional performance and Italian craftsmanship, adds an all-new rifle to the company’s heralded Momentum bolt-action rifle series for 2025.
Franchi developed the new Momentum Carbine Elite as the answer to hunters who place a premium on maneuverability in close environments and who favor a light, agile platform for pursuing big whitetails. Whether hunting from a ground blind or box blind, climber or sling stand, thick brush or timber, the Momentum Carbine Elite stands ready.
The key features begin with the compact Evolved Ergonom-X stock, which makes the Momentum Carbine Elite fast-handling, ergonomic, and quick to the shoulder while the contoured TSA recoil pad minimizes catching on bulky clothing.
Next, the Momentum Carbine Elite comes in shorter barrel lengths than the standard Momentum rifles. Rifles chambered for .308 Win. and .350 Legend call on an 18-inch straight fluted barrel while the 6.5 Creedmoor chamber boasts a 20-inch straight fluted barrel to take full advantage of this cartridge’s impressive ballistics. The overall result is an agile and highly maneuverable bolt-action rifle built in the spirit of traditional carbines but with the kind of innovative technological features and guaranteed 1 MOA accuracy that sets the Franchi Momentum apart in a crowded and competitive field.
All rifles operate via Franchi’s one-piece, spiral-fluted bolt featuring three locking lugs for solid, accuracy-enhancing lockup. The short-throw (60-degree) Dependa bolt feeds cartridges from a detachable box-type magazine. Additional features include a Cobalt Cerakote® finish on the bolt handle, receiver, barrel, and removable muzzle brake, a one-piece Picatinny rail for optic mounting, integrated QD swivel and M-LOK mounting points for slings and bipod attachment, and Franchi’s 2- to 4-lb. adjustable Relia trigger.
Finally, all Momentum Carbine Elite rifles come dressed in the new and exclusive Franchi Terra™ camo pattern design created to blend with a wide range of whitetail hunting environments. MSRP: $1249.
