Needless to say, I'm pretty frustrated at this point. Tried 3 more, and unfornately, the same thing. Messed with it, got it to shoot, and the next shell did the same thing. Look to see whats going on and the bolt assembly is stuck on the back of the next shell (the shell was being held down by the assembly and stopping it from loading up and forward). Put 3 new shells in, first one fires, pull the trigger and nothing. The first 3 sets/bursts of shots, everything seemed to be working fine. So I grabbed a couple boxes of shells and figured I'd try and cycle a couple 3 round bursts. The gun tech said in a letter included with my gun that there was an O-Ring that went bad, and was the reason for the bolt assembly not staying locked back. I went and picked it up and took it to the range over the weekend. I received a call on March 16th that my gun was back at Dicks. I ended up taking the gun back to Dicks on February 1st, and they sent it back to Benelli/Franchi for repair. Also, the front part of the bolt assembly seemed to be sticking when the bolt assembly moves forward into the engaged position. It would take multiple tries to get it to stay locked back, and with a few simple tilts and movements of the gun, the bolt assembly would thrust forward without touching any mechanical part of the firearm. I bought it when I did because of a sale they had going on at the time for $60.00 off, plus another $50.00 coupon I had.Īnyways, the first time I took it out, the 1st problem I noticed was the bolt assembly wouldn’t stay in the rearward/locked position. The guy at Dick's was clueless about it, and I was looking for the "Franchi Diamond Hunter" which was the name Dicks was selling it under. After I got it home and realized it was a/k/a the Variomax 912, I found quite a bit more information. At the time I purchased it, I didn't know too much about it, but found limited information online as far as reviews. Its a 12ga, Realtree Max-4 camo, and shoots 2-3/4" up to 3-1/2" shells. I purchased a new Franchi "Diamond Hunter" (Also known as the Variomax 912) from a Dicks Sporting Goods in Pennsylvania back in January.
