I really like those
I'm lovin this thing. I gotta catch up to you on the bolt actions!😜
Welcome to the Legend family. I was buying that white box for $12.76 at walmart during the crunch. Shameless plug to BCA for selling outstanding complete uppers for fair prices
Thank you sir. Yeah, Wallyworld had some good prices not too long ago.😣
That Italian Stallion sure is one spicy meatball! Looks like you got 'cha a good shooter there bud. Congratulations on the new addition to your tool box! I like your stability plans on a new firing platform. I think that will be a big help to you. Enjoyed meeting Mr. Franchi, happy shooting! Take care my friend and stay safe!
Thank you sir. I'm very happy with this purchase. Can't wait to run some more rounds through it!
That there Eye-talian shoot'n iron looks like the bee's knees, Mr. Tools! They sure made a slick looking rifle, didn't they!? I like that short bolt throw. I also like that long rifle length barrel, to get all the giddy-up out of the supersonic loads and at the same time, they gave you a threaded barrel for suppressed use with the subsonic stuff. That's purdy smart thinking, if you ask me. Most threaded barrels that I see are real shorties, and that's handy for suppressed use, but just KILLS the velocity on a round that's not a barn-burner to begin with in the 350 Legend. That 24" tube will surely help get the max "umph" out of your new toy! Keep 'em comin' Mr. Tools!
Thank you sir. I know what you mean about most threaded barrels being short. I definitely like that this one is a long boy.👍
350 is my go to for deer season. Ammo is stocked up deep. Love me some bolt action rifles!
This thing is sweet!
I look at the Ruger American in 350 legend every time I’m at the gun shop . Seems like a good deer round. Thanks for the video.
I can't believe I waited as long as I did to pick up something chambered in it. Very easy to find the ammo and relatively cheap compared to most other rifle rounds.
That looks like a great shooter. I went with the Savage Axis. At the time it was really the only gun I could find in .350 Legend, but I already had a Axis in .22-250 and liked it. It’s a great round and I dropped a deer at 150 yds with it this year. Thankfully I really stocked up on ammo for it because they’ve almost doubled in price since I got the gun.
An Axis or Ruger American were definitely two that I had on my list also.
Another great review video Brotha .. I've been thinking about one of the Ruger bolt guns in 5.56 that takes AR mags ..
Thank you sir. That would be sweet!
I was waiting for this since you mentioned it, sure seems like a keeper. A nice solid bench will be a game changer for sure. Have a good one my friend I will see you on the next one.
Thank you sir. I can't wait to run this thing some more!
A shaky table will sure wreak havoc on your shootin' accuracy !! I have seen some cool ones made out of large cable spools that look sweet and solid for sure! Maybe if you get you a good level pad there you can tighten up all the bolts in it and wont be bad, cool lookin little table though! I see 350 Legend in Wally World alll the time but never see a rifle for it lol! Nice lookin rifle/scope set up bet you get her fine tuned and be shooting in the same hole at 100 yards I have no doubt! Worked on my range today got it looking like a golf green haha! Happy Friday Brother! Have a good weekend!
Nice! It wont be long before I'll have to start mowing here.😣
Always fun trying out a new purchase!!
When you gona sell some stickers??
Yes ma'am!
I really gotta take some time to sit down and figure that out.
Nice rifle. Looking forward to seeing some shooting after you get your bench stabilized. Thanks for the video 🙂
Thank you sir. Can't wait to get it set up nice and stable!
Tools your channel is on Fire🔥 Great Work!!!
Appreciate the support, brother!
First time I watched one of your vids and I can say I really enjoyed it. No ego, just a regular guy just like the rest of us. Thanks!
I'm a little hard-headed sometimes, but I appreciate that!😎👍
Good shooting with the 350. We like to have excuses when it comes to a off shot. I always find something to blame it on. Thanks for the video.
I got a list of em at the ready!😆 Thank you sir!
That's a great rifle Tools! I'm kind of glad you picked a bolt and it's performing so well for you. The AR uppers are fun but can be finnicky. Looking forward to some more testing and shooting! Have a great weekend brother!
Thank you sir. Loving this rifle so far. Range time again tomorrow!
Holes touching! Nails! @25. 100 yards very good . Italian firearms love them. Very cool lead sled . Stump disappearing boom by boom. Good deal thanks Tools
Thank you sir. This thing is gonna be a very nice addition! I picked up something else really nice today too that I can't wait to try out!
Not bad at all considering the table wobble. Still impressed with the grouping. That's a pretty sweet tool.
Yessir. I can't wait to get things even more solid.😎
Nice new ‘tool’! Pretty darn good, fresh out of the box! Great video!!🇺🇸👍🏻
Thank you sir. Can't wait to do some more testing with it!
That is one sweet rig Tools..and very impressive grouping as well🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you sir.😎
I'm a big fan of the 350L. Outstanding deer cartridge. Nice addition. 💪💪
Thank you sir. Loving this rifle.
Sounds like it's time to build a nice covered shooting bench.
LET'S GO BRANDON!
Gonna start with the bench and use my EZ-Up but no telling what might happen later on.👍 FJB!
Nice 350 legend Tools Stay Safe Stay 2A Strong 🇺🇸
Thank you sir. I'm really gonna enjoy shooting this one.
If you reload you will enjoy loading the legend. I have always been a rcbs guy but I went with Lee with this caliber and they work great
Good to know. Every set of dies I have are Lee
That’s a great looking rifle partner, I like that fluted bolt a lot. That groove for a bi-pod is pretty cool too, a fde Magpul would look awesome. I didn’t know Franchi was from Benelli either till I read the proof marks on yours. I like that cartridge too, threaded barrel, nice trigger. Some good shooting too man I don’t think you give yourself enough credit. That last boom💥 was badass!
Thank you sir. This is definitely gonns be a good one.
That's a nice looking rig there, I'll have to keep an eye out for one.
Absolutely love it!
Great video as usual sir. Appreciate your hard work and effort on them
Appreciate that!
Have plenty of 5.56/223 ARs. Buddy traded me an Axis in 223. And I have been considering locating a 350 Legend barrel for it.
That's a nice new tool you can really work on something with that.
Absolutely!
really nice rifle tools.i thought you would've gone with the 350 upper but glad to see you got a nice gun... franchi makes a sweet little gun..from the looks of it once you've shot this a bit those goups will tighten up got to get used to the new trigger still some good goups out of a new gun and first ammo...
Yessir. This thing is capable of some fantastic groups for sure. I'll probably still pick up an upper eventually to do some comparing.👍
Great investment with the Lead Sled....helps alot, makes you shoot more though leading to more ammo to buy/reload....
It is game changing as far as holding steady.😎👍
That’s a really nice group that you have there Tools&Targets on your first four shots. You just need to adjust it and it will be hitting just fine. Have a great day Tools&Targets!
😎👊
Tools&Targets, what’s your actual name?
Really enjoyed the breaking in of your new 350. Dang fine shooting and I ain't met anyone who doesn't pull one once in a while lol. Well except for myself, I've never pulled one lmfao!
Great video T&T!
Thank you sir. I pulled those on purpose just so everybody else wouldn't feel bad.😜
@@ToolsandTargets That was the PERFECT response!!!
Awesome label, Brother and great review. Legoboy defiantly represents the Italian Stallion‘s in Chi-Town.
Thank you sir.😎👊
When you gel test that rifle I’d like to see you gel test with that white box fmj since it’s one of the most common loads available for 350 legend. I’d also like to see some expanding stuff tested too. Can’t wait to see gel results for legend.
Definitely.😎👍
350 is a beast. Dig some ends to stick that table in the ground for more stability if it's an outside table
I put it inside when I'm done for the day. It's a folding portable one.
Nice review! Franchi claim 1 MOA accuracy. Your test is close enough to that to support their claim. Looks like a great deer rifle for States like Indiana requiring straight walled cartridges, but which restrict cartridge length for hunting public land. Mind you, even 2 MOA accuracy would be easily good enough to shoot White tailed deer out to the max effective range of the 350 legend. 2 MOA is a 4" group at 200 yards. Broadside white tailed deer vitals are about 9-10" across... Plus in Ohio (where I live), I've never had to shoot a deer further than 100 yards or so. Most shots are closer. I hunt with a Marlin 1895 SBL in 45-70 Govt (cerakoted sniper grey to hide the hideous stainless shine), or a .50 cal Pedersoli Rocky mountain Hawken patched round ball rifle in muzzle loader season. Both have proved deadly so, appealing as the 350 legend is, I'm not sure I have a reason to switch to it. I have also heard from a buddy at my gun club that 350 legend penetration through bone on a quartering deer is inadequate. Any thoughts on that?
Hope that harsh recoil didn't bother you? 😆 After the 45/70 recoil the 350 is magically. Nice combo especially with the Hawke scope. Did they not have one in pink Mossy Oak? Good shooting. The Lead Sled makes a difference in wobbling. 👍 👍
Marshmallow recoil for sure. I'm gonna have my FFL cerakote it pink with purple polka dots! This lead sled is game changing accuracy shooting!
@@ToolsandTargets Did the little woman laugh at the title Italian Stallion? Didn't know you were Italian? 😂That's a great buy getting the Franchi. That bolt & trigger just seem so smooth. Heard a lot of good things on Hawke scope.
@@billdye3530 😆😆 This thing is like butter. This scope is also really nice for the cost of it. Crystal clear glass.
@@ToolsandTargets I've looked through some Hawkes & liked them but just haven't got one yet.. If you use the subsonic with that big hollowpoint might do it on something solid but tangible. The 350 Stump Destroyer did good. Thanks for the fun.
Got a 22.250. savage .3x9 x40 Nikon scope. Great accuracy.
Nice.😎👍
Hi there Tools. That’s the first time I seen anyone shoot a 350 Legend. Seems to be doing good for you. I do have a Led Sled DFT2 and I love it. Your accuracy testing will go really good once you upgrade your shooting table bud! Have a great day!
Thank you sir. I love this rifle. I need to get that permanent table built. I just gotta get some free time!😆
Cool video thanks. Bolt guns are great all I hunt with. You will need to get a spotting scope for the long range target 🎯.
Yeah, I've been meaning to pick one up. I use a pair of binoculars to see out there a little easier but a spotting scope would be much better.
That is a very nice rifle, Franchi builds some quality firearms, I would love to have one, very good accuracy, I just realized that your videos are in 4K, Unfortunately, my computer only plays a few 4k videos, so I use the 1440 P HD, i've been thinking about you having to crouch down to do the jelly tests, and wanted to mention that you could put some cinder blocks under the legs of the table, that would make it easier than crouching down, What are your thoughts on this? Thanks for your comprehensive videos. 👍
Appreciate ya sir! I've thought about building a frame to use for the jelly blocks but I've gotten pretty used to doing it this way now. I'm 6'3" so I'd have to build a small building of blocks to make any difference.😆
@@ToolsandTargets 👍
Man I just happened to come across your channel. Great video! I love those Franchi rifles. Subscribed!!!!
Appreciate that, brother. Just picked another one up in 6.5CM also.😎👍
That is a really nice looking rifle. And it is a tac driver. That wood drop a deer or any thing you want or need to drop while hunting.
Yessir. I'm lovin it!
Do you actually have more kelteks then bolt actions?
Like I’ve said before, this is one brave man, he does what he wants and shills for no brand. 👍
I almost bit on a great deal for a PMR30 earlier but I bought something that just came out instead, that I wanna test for myself.😉
Man your pretty hard on ur self thats good shooting in my book thats a dead deer or whatever you shoot at
I just know the rifle is capable of much better so I hate messin it up!😣
I have a cmmg Resolute in 350 & I love it. It's my pig gun. That Franchi rifle looks really nice.
Nice.😎
Almost a tack driver right out of the box! Nice. Uh, maybe a little too much boom boom. I felt the ground shake all the way up here. 😁👍🇺🇸👊
😂😂😂 It was definitely spicy!💥💥💥
When I grow up, I want to be exactly like you, dude.
There's only one tools, if you're lucky you can be junior tools
I'm just a normal guy. You wanna be way better than that!😎👊
With some good hand loads that would be sub MOA all day long. Great rifle out of the box. I would use it.
Thank You for another great video Tools.
Yessir. if I didn't pull a couple shots, even this factory FMJ would have been well under an inch. Definitely happy with this rifle.😎
I have the BCA 350L upper and it's outstanding. Extremely accurate. I keep an optic mounted on my different uppers and just switch them out as needed.
Every time I buy an upper, I can't help but build another lower to put it on.😂
@@ToolsandTargets Well there is that. 😂🤣😂🤣 I just keep 4 lowers with nice triggers ( Rise Armament and Blackout Defense) everything else is interchangeable.
Pretty new to the channel but really like the content. Love that rifle, perfect short range deer rifle 🇺🇲👍
Thank you sir. Appreciate you checking out the channel!
I dont see how a person could get burnt out on ar platform chamberings. There are so many options and as long as you have a lower you can just about slap any upper and go. You can even get adapters to run like 9mm. But i do like your ruger too.
I've got enough AR's to arm my entire neighborhood at this point.😆 Short barrels, long barrels, 5.56, .223 Wylde, .300blk, .308, 9mm, .50 Beowulf, and enough stripped lowers and parts kits to build a dozen more. I love the platform. Just want some different stuff.
Well i guess if you got it like that then perhaps. Lol
Really like your new rifle tools, thanks for sharing 👍👍
Thank you sir. I'm lovin it!
Like your new tool, as always enjoy watching your videos keep them coming
Appreciate that my friend!
That boom boom 💥 was awesome! Great tool 👍🏻
Thank you sir!💥😎💥
I’m excited to see some jelly test with this tool. it’s my new deer rifle. I have the ruger go wild version
Nice! I'm definitely gonna be doing some jelly tests with it. I have several different types of ammo already.👍
Very nice rifle accurate a nice new toy for your collection Stay Safe and God Bless 🙏🙏
Thank you sir. Definitely happy with this one.👍
tools, leave the bolt open between groups, it helps the barrel get air flow and cool quicker
I kept forgetting to do that. That action was so smooth, I couldn't resist closing it!😆
I have an Anniversary Edition Momentum in 6.5 Creedmoor that I won at a Whitetails Unlimited Banquet. I absolutely love this rifle. Mine has a Genuine Walnut Stock.
Only thing I am NOT a fan of is the magazine on mine. It is a drop bottom and not removable.
Nice. I have a Momentum in 6.5cm also. It's camo with a bronze Cerakote finish. These are some really sweet rifles for what you pay.
Good video and nice shooting . I always look forward to your videos , keep up the great test
Thank you sir.😎👊
The 350 legend has kind of impressed me with its accuracy for a straight wall cartridge. That's some pretty good shooting. And yeah it's hard to shoot from a wobbly table I know I do it all the time LOL
I was definitely surprised how flat this round shoots at 100. The wobble has got to go!😆
Awesome little gun ya got there. Love me some 350L. Hope you're doing well, brother!
Yessir. It's definitely a keeper. Still hangin in there!😎👊
Nice rifle. I just posted a video yesterday with that Hawke scope on my 350 Legend. That’s crazy. 😁
Nice! I think it's a great optic especially for the price.👍
Nice job there Tools&Targets! Looks like an all around round for both as a varmint rifle, or for larger game too.
I'm lovin it so far.
That is a nice freedom seed planter you have there!
Thank you sir. It's a keeper!
Mama mia Tools! Remember its all in the wrist with this one!!!🎩♠🎯🏁🏵💙💛🌻🇺🇸🍀
😎👊
As we go to the range with our tools seems like more stuff we drag around.... :) Have a good weekend Jelly Man.... #FJB
You got that right. takes me 30 minutes to load and unload everything.😂 Thank you sir. FJB!
@@ToolsandTargets , me too..
I’ve been thinking of getting one of these for next deer season. Looks like an amazing tool that’s for sure.
I absolutely love it!
I like the 350 legend cartridge. good vid Tools
Thank you sir. I can't believe I waited so long to pick up something chambered in it.
That Franchi is nice. You were stackin them things down range💪. Don't ya just hate it when your pasties fall off😆. I need to get me another bolt-gun.
😂😂😂 I was waiting for someone to talk about my pasties!
Off subject completely, I’m considering the CMMG .22lr conversion kit w/ 3 25rd mags for one of my AR’s. Have you used one? It’s on sale at PSA for $169 and since the big ammo crisis a few years ago it’s been as much as $299 on some sites. I almost got it at $199 but didn’t, now I might go ahead and order the damn thing. Let me know if you have any knowledge that could be useful. Thanks buddy
I have never bought one but I hear they work good. Honestly, I'm the type that just likes having entire separate guns for stuff like that. I've looked at the HK 416 in .22lr several times but never bought one.
You load for that you’ll be surprised how it shoots be safe buddy and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏
I guarantee. Even with better factory ammo it's gonna be a laser!
Great review on the franchi. I just purchased one (strata camo in .308) and havnt had the chance to shoot yet. I agree on everything you have said from me just playing around with it.
How has it preformed over the years Tools?
Nice! I have the camo one in 6.5 creedmoor. They have been great. I need to do some gel tests with em.😎👍
@@ToolsandTargets definitely sounds like a good video
I'm a 450 bushmaster man. I love it ,but 350 legend is nice
I don't have anything in .450 Bushmaster. Might need to look at some.
That's a pretty slick rifle there. And it's threaded hint hint.
I don't know if my reply to you went thru or not but I was suggesting you go thru silencer shop if you were interested in getting your first can. They're the ones that have kiosks in the store and once you register with it all you gotta do is order the cans online.
I was actually talkin to the guys in my local shop about a can today. They stock quite a few of em. They were tellin me since a lot more of the process recently went to e-File, they've been seeing 60 to 90 day turn around times!
@@ToolsandTargets that sounds very nice, the quicker the better! I like ordering online cuz you don't hafta look or go hunting for a specific can, plus in my area the stores here only stock maybe 5 at a time lol.
What was crazy tho is when Joe hiden got into office almost all the 556 cans sold out! I wonder why lol.
Tools will be hittin' up the solvent trap sites on facebook and gettin' locked in the pen before you know it! 🙃Seriously, you gotta wonder how many people buy those things and at the minimum, get put on a list. It's funny that the law will write you a ticket for having a car or bike that's not muffled but lock folks up who try to shoot without busting their eardrums when they forget their ear pro. They make crossbows that will shoot a country mile almost silently and accurately by total beginners, no regulations whatsoever, but put a can on a .45 and suddenly, you must be a trained assassin or something. Mind-blowing!... It's kinda cool that the same guy who invented the silencer also invented mufflers for automobiles!
@@tommylitchfield3450 Tommy, LOL. At the end of the day, I buy these things cuz I believe in havin fun. I started shooting 2 liters and pumpkins in the desert and eventually got my carry permit and took this hobby serious. I'm actually Catholic so the last thing I wanna do is hurt someone. I'm also getting close to being a gun owner for almost 10 years now so I think most people will believe I think I have what it takes to be a responsible and danger free person. And yes I own some cans but I'm not using them to hurt anybody.
🛠 Have a couple Hawke scopes they are pretty good for the money, got the first one at the buckarama several years ago at a really good price before they was in stores ! Those 350 Legend rifles are accurate can't believe how good they shoot even with the cheep ammo. Save your money on the upper just wast ammo 🤔🇺🇸
Yessir. Very clear glass for such a low price on it. This thing is gonna be a laser beam once I start running some really good ammo and get a stable bench set up. You're probably right about the .350 upper. I definitely aint in no hurry for one.
The rifle itself seems like it’s capable of 3/4” groups at 100 yards all day. The practical accuracy you were getting from it was well below minute of deers vitals. I think it would do great for deer. You know 350 legend power wise kinda reminds me of Buffalo bore 357 magnum fired from a longer barreled lever action. Nice video
Thank you sir. This is definitely a good one.👍
Would be neat to see this compared to a 357 from a lever gun since they're the same calibre
Funny you mention that. I just picked up a new lever gun yesterday. I aint sayin it's .357 magnum, but...😉
A while back, I was looking at Buffalo Bore's website at some .357 rounds and was surprised at what they are getting out of their Heavy Loads for the .357 Mag. I just checked again, and their 170 gr .357 loads are leaving the muzzle of an 1894 Marlin carbine with an 18.5" barrel at 1860 fps. I then checked Hornady's site and their 350 Legend 170 Gr Interlock is going 2200 at the muzzle and 1843 at 100 yards out of a 20" barrel. That Buffalo Bore ammo is HOT!
Very good shootin, thats the only ammo that was around in the shortage. Great video.
Nice rifle also.
Thank you sir. It's still one of the cheapest and easiest to find rifle rounds too.
Would like to see ballistics fps of a 24" barrel! Prob needs a 100 rounds to break in before best accuracy!!
Love this rifle. I need to definitely do some more tests with it.
I’m think about buying a 350 legend in a AR platform, I’m really impressed with this round
I definitely like it!
Nice shooting rifle! Never thought the 350 Legend was supposed to be a tack driver. Jelly test on it? Thanks for the video!
I'm lovin it so far. Definitely gonna have to sling some of these in the jelly.👍
Nice bolt gun. Looks like a solid shooter.
Yessir. Can't wait to run it some more!
Love the 350 legend wish henry would make it in lever gun
That would be sweet!
Dang son!!! 😂 That's a sweet tool!!! I'm not familiar with their rifles? If it's anything like their shotguns!? It should be SWEET! Which it looks like it is! Double awesome! Nothing like a good bolt! Very cool!!!
Yessir! I had only really seen their shotguns too but I couldn't resist trying this out. Glad I did!😎
@@ToolsandTargets Happy for ya!!! 👊👍
Very nice looking tool, and nice groups.
Thank you sir.😎
Nice rifle, they make sweet O/U shotguns too!
Yessir. My RK has one of their semi-auto shottys in there. It's got a hefty price tag on it but man is the action smooth!
nice, I was thinking Ruger sold another American 350 legend when you said you picked up a 350. the price is very close on the two what tipped the scale? I like the new set up once you set the stand you will be knocking on who tee who's door. hell I shoot off a sand bag on a bar stool so even your old set up beat me lol
I just fell in love with this thing once I handled it. Super smooth action and the trigger is incredible. I definitely can't wait to get a stable shooting bench set up.
Nice shootin rifle !! Thanks for the video !!
Thank you my friend!
Excellent group
Appreciate that!
Only 2 bolt action rifles? I have my Grandfather's and father's rifles so I have 10. Someday they will be my grandsons.
I would be happy with that group.
Yeah, not being a hunter I haven't really thought about bolt actions a whole lot but I gotta start gathering up a few more.👍
@@ToolsandTargets Any Winchester Model 70 made before 1964 is good as long as the barrel isn't shot out. A bore scope is a must! But as long as you have a dealer you trust you should be ok.
Sun was blowing and wind was in ya eye
Exactly!😆😆😆
That is one sweet rifle, nice shooting 👍
Thank you sir.😎
I need this
It's a sweet shooter!😎
Fine Rifle and Good shooting!!!
Thank you sir.
I like those Hawke Scopes a local shop in my area stocks them and they are nice and clear
Yessir. They gave it to me for $70. Awesome scope for that kinda price.
Dats ah spicy meatahball !
🍝🍝🍝
Really nice scoop I have 2 of them they stay on
Yessir. Nice and clear glass too.
Nice shooting Bud !!!
Thank you sir.😎👊
